An Indonesian Story Told to the World
Born in Indonesia and shaped by life across multiple countries, Mira Sumanti writes about the emotional complexity of modern relationships while navigating the tension between Western dating culture and Eastern family expectations.
A global marketing executive and creative storyteller, Mira has spent over a decade living between Europe and Asia, working with companies such as Adidas and Google, and collaborating with global icons including Justin Bieber and Snoop Dogg. Her international experiences and personal adventures deeply inform her voice as a writer.
When she’s not leading creative teams or launching marketing campaigns, Mira can be found hosting Halloween parties, curating lifestyle content, or planning her next escape to Bali.
Swipe Therapy is her debut book.
"This book began as a therapeutic outlet after a breakup—an honest outpouring of emotions I needed to release. But over time, it became so much more. Writing helped me process not only my own actions but also his, and it gave me clarity I hadn’t expected. It’s a tribute to all the swipes—each person I met along the way—who taught me something meaningful"
~ Mira Sumanti

About the Book
Part memoir, part cultural reflection, Swipe Therapy explores heartbreak, modern dating, and the unexpected journey of self-discovery in the age of dating apps. Through witty storytelling and raw honesty, Mira transforms chaotic swipes, rebound romances, and emotional misadventures into reflections on healing, resilience, and personal growth.
Often described as “Eat Pray Love for the dating-apps generation,” the book traces Mira’s journey from cancelling her wedding to embarking on an international adventure of healing, connection, and self-rediscovery.
Through a series of encounters, travels, and moments of honest introspection, Swipe Therapy reveals how emotional chaos can become an unexpected turning point, as Mira learns to rebuild confidence, independence, and trust in herself again.
