Nunchi is a Korean word which translates to ‘eye measure’. It is a soft skill, a subtle art of gauging other people’s thoughts and feelings in order to build trust, harmony and connection.

Nunchi is a powerful technique to connect with yourself, control your mind, build harmonious relationships, avoid chaos, stay grounded in a stressful situation, and strengthen personal, social, and professional life. Unlike most western countries that emphasize autonomy and individualism, nunchi emphasizes unity, collectivism, and relationship-building.
