Jeanie Y Chang: How K-Dramas Can Transform Your Life, Gebunden

Klappentext

Love K-Dramas--and want more permission to binge watch them? In How K-Dramas Can Transform Your Life: Powerful Lessons on Belongingness, Healing, and Mental Health, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Jeanie Y. Chang explores what K-Dramas have to teach us about our own well-being and how we can use the lessons they teach us to live better and more meaningful lives.
 
Chang's own love of K-Dramas and using them with great success to improve her mental health and relate to her cultural identity led her to integrate K-Dramas into her professional practice. Seeing the enormously positive effect they also had on her clients, How K-Dramas Can Transform Your Life was born.
 
Topics covered in this book include:
* Using K-Dramas as a roadmap to life, showing you how to navigate speed bumps, roadblocks, twists, turns, and dead ends
* Building cross-racial and cross-cultural relationships that you otherwise may not have without being a K-Drama fan
* Processing grief from the loss of a loved one to a loss of anything--a job, your physical safety, a relationship, or something else
* Harnessing the idea of Jeong, which is innate in Korean society and refers to the emotional sentiment of affinity, affection, kinship, and connection which is the thread throughout Jeanie's community
* Working the author's trademarked mental health framework, Cultural Confidence(r), to build up your mental health, identity, mindfulness, and resilience
 
For K-Drama fans and enthusiasts and anyone curious about the influence of pop culture, How K-Dramas Can Transform Your Life is an entertaining and highly educational presentation from a mental health professional on how this enormously popular global phenomenon can help us become the best versions of ourselves.
