Letters have been here all along, quietly influencing countless people in profound ways. They encourage, they bring happiness, while to some they even provide the will to keep on living.
Geulwoll is a Korean word for 'letter'. It is also the name of a small, unassuming letter shop, located on the third floor of a shabby building in the bustling heart of Seoul. People visit from all over to write and send letters to loved ones – and to strangers.
---------
Everyone likes letters. One of their charms is that we can't see what's inside right away: there's an anticipation in unsealing the mysteries held within.
In The Healing Power of Korean Letter Writing, Juhee Mun reveals the lost art of the handwritten letter: how it can ground and centre us, improve and repair our relationships with others and foster a culture of contemplation, reflection and togetherness.
This book is not about rules or right answers for writing letters. It is about embracing the power of what happens when you choose to carve out the time to write them.
