Customer Reviews

Disappointing
This book falls short for several reasons. Firstly there is a lot of selling in terms of the `Chi Revolution', telling you why it's so great and how you should get involved. I consider this to be totally unnecessary, as I've already bought the book, so the sales pitch is a bit late!

Secondly, although quite a few topics are covered and they're importance stressed, for any detailed explanation on the techniques you are simply referred to a previous book the author has written. The frustration of this constant occurrence finally made me give up on reading the book.

I have tried some of the exercises outlined in the back however (just before the 8 page appendix selling the authors products and services) and if they do work I may increase the star rating of this review.

To summarise, the authors obvious desire to generate business and money overwhelms any valid information on chi and its applications. If you do intend on getting a book on this subject from the author I'd suggest looking at one of his previous releases that are constantly referred back to in this book.

An excellent book!
The easy to understand writing style makes this an effortless read, which lets you get down to absorbing the information better than any other book I've read in this field. It's also a great motivator for your practice and the health giving exercises presented here really work.

If you're embarking on anything chi related to improve your health, or just curious about the subject, this is an essential read and should be your first stop. Highly recommended.

Nothing new
Bruce Kumar claims to teach the esoteric art of Taoist water methods of meditation and chi kung. In reality, i find nothing new or different about his books, most of them including this one seem to be more of an advertising ploy to encourage people to attend his expensive chi kung lectures. To me personally there seems to be a complete lack of any warmth to his books, you can find better chi kung books. Bruce himself also seems to have a personal grudge against yoga for some reason, i have practiced both tai chi, chi kung and yoga for many years and personally think that one cannot beat yoga sun salutations for improving health and well being. His opinions of karma in this books are nothing new.
