230. The Power of Nunchi by Euny Hong

BOOK REVIEW: The Power of Nunchi by Euny Hong (courtesy of Pansing Distribution Pte Ltd)

Now this is a book that really made me more nunchi-ful of my surroundings. But first all you readers must be thinking what's with the nunchi thing. Too much reading caused a mental short circuit? You have poor nunchi then, build it up with the help of this book.

Nunchi is a Korean word which indicates the subtle art of gauging other people's thoughts and feelings in order to build trust, harmony and connection. Nunchi doesn't only focus on face reading but combines body language and tuning in to the emotions and incidences in the surrounding to reap the best in life.

Nunchi is the guiding principle of Korean life, but anyone can use this awareness to get ahead in any setting. Korean parents believe that teaching their children nunchi is as important as teaching them to cross the road. With great nunchi, it feels like the world is on your side. Without it, you might get hit by something you never saw coming.

From finding love to excelling at work, improving your nunchi will help you open doors you never knew existed. Maybe you may acquire that pay raise that has been elusive all this time (wink!). I found this book to be straightforward and had plenty of useful examples to tackle nunchi.

Definitely a 5-star rating from my side, this book very much tips the scale compared to many self-help books I've read. I'm going to test my nunchi skills this Deepavali to gauge the festivity levels in my own home. Thoroughly enjoyable.
