Listened to the audiobook to fulfill the Popsugar 2020 - a book on a subject you know nothing about component. The book is a very anecdotal explanation of Nunchi. But for the western audience it’s basically about reading the room, situational awareness and tact. From what I know of Korean culture this book really waters Nunchi down as emotional intelligence when it actually seems to be the culturally ingrained practice of respecting social norms and meeting cultural expectations and I would guess has more to do with a desire to behave appropriately than it is a magical manipulation tactic for westerners to adopt.
