Summary

If you're thinking, 'Not another Eastern fad: Marie Kondo already made me throw away half my clothes', don't worry - it's not a fad. Koreans have been using nunchi for more than 5000 years. It's what catapulted their nation from one of the world's poorest to one of the richest and most technologically advanced in half a century. And it's why K-pop - an unlikely global phenomenon, performed in a language spoken only in Korea - is even a thing. The art of reading a room and understanding what others are thinking and feeling, nunchi is a form of emotional intelligence that anyone can learn - all you need is your eyes and ears. Sherlock Holmes has great nunchi. Cats have great nunchi. Steve Jobs had great nunchi. With its focus on observing others rather than asserting yourself, nunchi is a refreshing antidote to our culture of self-promotion, and a welcome reminder to look up from your cell phone. "The power of Nunchi" will show you how the trust and connection it helps you to build can open doors for you that you never knew existed. 2019
