- Building 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 anythingāa job, your physical safety, a relationship, or something else

- Working the author's trademarked mental health framework, Cultural ConfidenceĀ®, 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 educational must-read on how this enormously popular global phenomenon can help us become the best versions of ourselves.
