<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Unlike most t'ai chi books, which focus strictly on how to do the t'ai chi forms, <i>T'ai Chi as a Path of Wisdom </i> presents a personal, practical view of this intriguing martial art. Lehrhaupt shares illuminating stories from her own life and the lives of her students that show how t'ai chi can be a vehicle for profound self-discovery and spiritual growth. <p/>In learning to master each body posture, t'ai chi students often confront self-doubt, frustration, and the desire to compete and compare themselves to others--problems that also arise in daily life. Lehrhaupt shows how these and other obstacles provide valuable opportunities to deepen awareness and recognize the striking continuities between practice and everyday life. <p/>Each section of the book includes practical exercises designed to enhance students' understanding of t'ai chi movements, and a helpful appendix answers many frequently asked questions about t'ai chi training such as how to find a teacher and how to balance practice with family life. Full of useful insights and guidance, <i>T'ai Chi as a Path of Wisdom </i> will be a valuable companion for all students of this increasingly popular martial art.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Unlike any other book on <i>taiji</i>.
