4 out of 5 stars A great book on the background of Qigong   September 21, 2008
Christopher Young (Westlake Village, CA)
I found this book to be a great read. Interesting background on Qigong, it's history, an explanation of the "why" of Qigong, and just a general overview of Qigong. It does not explain specifically any Qigong exercises, just gives you a broad picture so would be helpful in starting ones journey into Qigong. A great starting off point but look to other books for actual exercises and practices.


4 out of 5 stars It is easy to understand   May 5, 2008

I got a copy just in time for my Qigong classes. It is easy to understand, the language is very clear, the information is valuable. Most of the books witten by Chinese authors and translated to English ou Spanish or Portuguese look like they are hiding details and valuable information. That is not the case with this book. I am very satisfied with it and now I want to buy other books from the same author. If you starting a new life with Qigong, this is the right book.

I've just made my way to chapter 3, so far very informative. QiGong is so good, that it has been hidden. It's only recently gaining real popularity in the West. This book is a must buy for anyone seriously interested in this amazing Art. By the way, it's a little cheaper here than at Barnes & Noble.

An interesting start to the root of chinese medicine and practical philosophy of such medicine. It helps the western mind understand the chinese view of the universe as well as granting a close scholarship of such views and how they apply to life, medicine, and longevity.
