Very approachable and practical. I found it easy to follow, as it was informative without being overbearing.

The ultimate guide to yinyang outlines all we need to know about harmonizing with the Way and help us to position ourselves in life and benefit from the abundance of the universe. Remember, this is not the path of laziness.

The author first guides us to a solid historical understanding of the origins and evolution of yinyang and then shows us how to use these ancient teachings in our own lives.

At the end of each chapter we find an exercise with short meditation and the key learnings from that chapter.

This book is higly useful to all who have an interest in an east Asian culture and thought and contains informations on pronunciations, ideograms, religious history and other subjects and the most important, explains yinyang in a simple way.

Yinyang enhance our lives. It is a single concept of two halves, not two separate ideas. It is the all flowing force that binds the universe.

Very informative, systematic and interdisciplinary book.

Highly recommended.

I have always had interest in YinYang and it was nice to have the opportunity to read this book. It talks about the history of YinYang and how to bring YinYang into your life. This is the part I most interested in but I will come back to the other parts of the book another time . I find the book useful on how to understand Chi and how to incorporate in into my daily life.
Thank you NetGalley for letting me read this book.

I love the design of the book; it makes the reading a lot more accessible and beautiful. Learning about yin Yang is not very easy, but I find this book valuable and easy to follow. I think it would make an excellent gift for those who are interested in Yin Yang. Great job!

I really struggled with this book. This book is definitely NOT for beginners!
It was certainly in depth and was very beautifully designed, but a lot of it went over my head. I had to re-read a lot of it to try and get my head around it.
I liked the idea of this book, but found it very difficult to read.

I have been a client of an acupuncturist for several years and have been looking for a primer in chinese medicine/thought for a while. The few books that were recommended to me were deeply in the weeds and did not give me the overview that this one did. This was exactly what I was looking for and I think will help me better understand and be able to communicate with my acupuncturist for my better health and well being. Additionally, this was just an interesting book to understand some tenets of Daoism.
