Very informative.
This book gives a comprehensve, deep, and extensive insight into the Chinese history, practices and philosophy of Tao. I bought it for one part, Health, because I need to heal, and I was very happy with the information in that section. The pages and pages of benifits and descriptions of breathing exercises inspired to begin breathing practices I have wanted to begin for months, just because the way he covers everything is so thorough and convincing. I'm doing a slightly different breath, but due to inspiration from this book. The introduction with a whole history of the Tao philosophy and the sections about sex and longevity were interesting and informative, also. I found this to be a very complete well written book. If you are interested in any of these subjects, I recommend it.
