  <abstract>105-year-old Professor Kim reveals key aspects of ancient Korean philosophy and shares stories from over a century of living to help us live better.
Showing us how to lean into the world with more softness, gratitude, openness and sincerity – especially when confronted with life's challenges – he invites us to discover the everyday lessons we can take from Korean values, giving invaluable insight into:
▸ Find the happiness that already exists in our daily lives
▸ Cultivate happiness through hard work and personal growth
▸ Nurture happiness in our closet relationships
▸ Enjoy happiness that grows with us as we age and mature</abstract>
