Chapter Overview

Description

The Power of Nunchi (2019) is an introduction to the subtle Korean art of gauging other people’s moods and thoughts in order to create trust, connection, and harmony. While nunchi has its roots in Korean culture, its lessons are applicable to contexts far beyond Korea. That’s because nunchi is a social skill that’ll empower you to read a room and understand others so that you can improve your relationships, get ahead at work, and influence people in any context and place. 

Who Should Listen

  • Employees who want to get ahead at work
  • Wellness seekers who want to better connect with others
  • Korean culture enthusiasts
