3 posts | 3 read | 4 to read
'A must-read for anyone interested in the art of intuitively knowing what others feel.' Haemin Sunim, author of The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down and Love for Imperfect Things ___________________________ Nunchi (noon-chee): eye measure. The subtle art of gauging other people's thoughts, and feelings in order to build trust, harmony and connection. ___________________________ Why did she get promoted? Why does the party only start when he walks in? And why do they always catch the bartenders eye? It sounds like theyre all experts in the art of nunchi, even if they dont know it. Nunchi is the guiding principle of Korean life, but anyone can use it: its the art of reading a room, your way of understanding what other people are thinking and feeling, and using that to get ahead. Korean parents believe that teaching their children nunchi is as important as teaching them to cross the road safely. With great nunchi, it feels like the world is on your side. Without it, you might get hit by something you never saw coming. If youre thinking not another Eastern fad, Marie Kondo already made me throw half my clothes away, dont worry: its not a fad. Koreans have been using nunchi to overcome slings and arrows for over 5000 years. The great news is that anyone can hone their nunchi, immediately: all you need are your eyes and ears. In everything, from finding love to excelling at work, improving your nunchi will help you to open doors you never knew existed. Improve your nunchi, improve your life. ___________________________ 'Whip-smart, hilarious, and filled with eye-opening insights on every page.' Amy Chua, author of Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother 'Beautifully written and filled with actionable advice . . . It really feels like having a superpower!' Hctor Garca, co-author of Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life Nunchi is the Korean superpower you need now Evening Standard We could all help ourselves by practising the ancient art of Nunchi The Times

This was surprisingly awesome. It's about the Korean sixth sense for winning friends and influencing people. She uses a lot of literary references. For example, Mr. Collins has no nunchi (neither does Elon Musk).

Favorite quote: "if you play stupid games, you will win stupid prizes."

3 stars rating.

I've learned so many things from this book, especially how to understand people and build the trust and connection.

One thing that I don't like about this book is some of the 'tips' and the meaning are kind of repetitive.

I still enjoyed reading this book and there are many good tips that can be applied at my work and my relationship with family, friends and family around me.
