500 _aIn this fascinating book, Zitwer shares all that she has learnt about this vibrant country forged by the philosophies of han, heung and jeong: resilience, joy and the art of giving. She takes us from the buzzing capital of Seoul to Buddhist mountain temples, from the bizarre theme park within the Demilitarised Zone to the island of Jeju to meet haenyeo, a remarkable sisterhood of free-divers. Along the way, Zitwer recounts magical moments of understanding and connection, as well as top travel tips and local recipes. The Korean Book of Happiness invites you to explore a beguiling culture and learn how the Korean way can make your life happier and more fulfilled. 'Someone finally writes about Korean happiness! And who better than Barbara Zitwer, our de facto global ambassador for Korean literature, to give the outside world an account of the joyful aspects of Korean life?' Anton Hur 'This eclectic and informative book is equal parts memoir, travelogue, guidebook, and cultural commentary with a bonus of authentic, delicious recipes. Delightfully energetic and upbeat, The Korean Book of Happiness has something for every reader.' Heinz Insu Fenkl, author of Skull Water
