Summary:
The Korean sixth sense for winning friends and influencing people, nunchi (pronounced noon-chee) can help you connect with others so you can succeed in everything from business to love. The Power of Nunchi will show you how. 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 as it is in a language spoken only in Korea--is even a thing. Nunchi is a form of emotional intelligence that anyone can learn--all you need is your eyes and ears. With its focus on observing others rather than asserting yourself nunchi is an antidote to our culture of self-promotion, and a welcome reminder to look up from your cell phone.
