Everything you need to understand the basics of taoism. However, you really can’t learn chi kung from a book if you are a novice – find a good teacher.

Not knowing what to expect, I was thoroughly delighted with the subjects covered in this book. More than just information to be mentally ingested, this book provides much info about Oriental philosophy, and energy exercises (chi gung). Although it could take a lifetime just to master all the material presented in this book, it is also a valuable reference for those wanting to complement their Western medical training.

My acupuncturist Dr. Winston Cardwell uses this book as reference. He suggested it to me and I agree that it’s a great tool to answer questions and find information I can hold in my hand instead of browsing the internet hour after hour. I love being able to highlight and make notes on the pages. Thanks Doc!

I do not know who to thank for curing me of a chronic digestive disorder that eluded allopathic physicians for the past 30 years: Daniel P. Reid or the ancient Taoist masters?
Mr. Reid’s books are truly gifts to the modern Western world and to those who sense that there is something more to life than a mass-produced culture and lifestyle. Ancient wisdom does have a wealth of knowledge to impart today in order to live a better tomorrow. If you are a newcomer to Taoism, spirituality, and health, this is an ideal book to help you begin your journey towards enlightment. Those with a little more experience will also benefit from reading this book and adding its little gems of wisdom to their library of ever-expanding knowledge.
I also highly recommend Mr. Reid’s “The Tao of Health, Sex and Longevity” as an excellent companion to “The Complete Book…” However, I caution you to exercise both responsibility and accountability as you read and practice. You should be fully aware that there is no way for the author to be familiar with your particular ailments or life-situation. In this regard, I recommend that you pursue your studies under the guidance of a qualified instructor and to seek health advice from a Traditional Chinese Medical practitioner. If you heed the caution and advice you will gain tremendously. There is genuine gold in this ancient wisdom. You will find yourself asking the question: “Why doesn’t the rest of the world know about this?”
Good luck to all of you as you travel the Tao of life-enrichment through ancient wisdom. I encourage you to pursue this seemingly miraculous path towards a better life. Learn from it and spread the word. You, and other, will never regret it.
