The Seonbi Spirit: Timeless lessons in honor, courage, and leadership
The term seonbi refers to the social leaders who guided Confucian culture during the Joseon dynasty. But a seonbi was much more than simply a scholar with a Confucian-oriented education—they were individuals who pursued moral perfection, cultivated both learning and virtue, and possessed an unwavering spirit that could even lead its practitioners to sacrifice their lives for righteous causes. The seonbi spirit formed the foundation of Joseon-era thought and remains one of Korea’s most influential philosophies and precious spiritual legacies. This book introduces seonbi culture and the seonbi spirit to readers worldwide through the fresh perspective and storytelling of an author who is both American and Korean.
