Sun & Ssukgat: The Korean Art of Self-Care, Wellness & Longevity

In a world that often prioritizes hustle over health, a recent talk co-hosted by the Harvard Club of Victoria in Australia, and the Harvard Alumni for Education SIG, offered a refreshing perspective on self-care, wellness, and longevity.

Michelle Jungmin Bang is a Harvard Business School graduate, eco-entrepreneur, award winning author, and debut author of Sun & Ssukgat: The Korean Art of Self-Care, Wellness & Longevity. Drawing from her personal journey and extensive research, this engaging session explored how intentional self-care practices can lead to healthier, longer lives.

Why this talk matters

In this talk, Michelle openly shares her health challenges and healing journey, as she rediscovered her Korean heritage and embraced timeless practices for longevity. As an eco-entrepreneur and CEO managing global teams across time zones, Michelle faced severe burnout. This experience led her to explore traditional Korean self-care methods like temple food, bathhouse rituals, and Jeong - the deep connection between people and places, to recover her physical and emotional wellbeing.

She also shared her journey of writing Sun & Ssukgat: The Korean Art of Self-Care, Wellness & Longevity. As someone who found herself in pain due to constantly sacrificing her wellbeing for work, she embarked on a mission to empower anyone stuck in the unhealth whirlwind of modern life to transform our wellbeing into simple, practical things we do every single day.
