Description

Why tai chi After more than thirty years of practicing tai chi chuan, author Henry Zhuang shares what has kept him with tai chi for so long, and how tai chi evolved to a rewarding path toward improving life and happiness.

Step-by-step, the author presents a clear exploration of the benefits of tai chi. Some benefits are physical (strength, balance, vitality), while others are internal (virtue, courage, harmony).

Reviews

In The Mind Inside Tai Chi: Sustaining a Joyful Heart, Henry Zhuang provides an overview of taijiquan (also known as tai chi); the Chinese martial art often practiced more for its perceived health benefits than its defensive value ... The most useful portion of the book is one near the end, in which the author includes photographs that demonstrate various taijiquan techniques and movements. This not only provides a needed visual representation of what is a physical activity, but also makes the concepts feel more practical than do the earlier, more textbook-like parts of the book. -- Jeff Fleischer Foreword Reviews
