5.0 out of 5 stars Peter Deadman does it again!

A beautifully written and well researched book, with ancient pearls of wisdom on how to care for our mind, body and spirit in the 21st century. Deadman's collection of teachings on yangsheng (nourishing life) is clear and easy to read for practitioners as well as laypersons. As a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, I've been looking for a collection like this to reference in my practice and share with my patients. It's finally here! Throw out all your self help, diet and nutrition books and read this book from beginning to end.

Very well organized and well written. Indexed! Gives detailed explanations for Westerners of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Qigong. The physical book itself is a delight. The printing quality, paper quality, and binding is very, very high. I'm so happy I ordered this book. It has helped me very much.

It's a nice package, but the book doesn't contain any information that I didn't already know. I doubt I will ever open it again. Probably more suited for patients than practitioners.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 21, 2016
Verified Purchase
This is a fantastic book for both practitioners of Chinese medicine and interested members of the public alike. The book is well-referenced (which cannot be said for all Chinese medicine tomes) and provides a much-needed English language text on the practice of "Yangsheng" (nourishing life), which is much more than mere disease prevention. I read the book from cover to cover very quickly and I know that it is a book that I will constantly revisit. We are bombarded on a daily basis by changing and conflicting advice about how to be healthy, but this book cuts through all the nonsense and just offers sound, reassuring advice based on health preservation practices which, for the most part, have been practised for generations. It is also very well-organised and is obviously the result of extensive research and careful thought, which has resulted in a very enjoyable, yet educational, read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautifully written and presented guide to ancient wisdom to keep you healthy
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 9, 2018
Verified Purchase
Having received acupuncture for the best part of 20 years (on a preventative basis - I like the traditional Chinese philosophy of going to see the doctor to stop me getting ill), I have picked up all sorts of helpful hints and tips from my practitioner. This book contains almost all of them, and a huge amount more. It's a beautiful hardback book and is very well written. It mixes traditional Chinese thinking with findings from Western science. I wish I'd been given this to read twenty years ago, although I fear I might not have taken notice! A brilliant read for anyone interested in their health or that of their family and friends.
