The Taoist Road to Health first provides an overview of Taoism and Doin, placing each in historical and philosophical perspective. Next comes the heart of the book: thirty exercises for attaining physical and mental well-being. The exercises are basic and easy to put into practice -- each has been carefully selected by the author as eminently suitable for beginners. Masao Hayashima is the foremost practitioner of Doin in Japan, and the founder of a 20,000-member dojo.
For those who prefer not to concentrate exclusively on one aspect of health -- physical or mental -- but would like to find a truly harmonious combination of the two, The Taoist Road to Health may well be the first step toward a new way of life.
