Description
The Manual of Bean Curd Boxing: Tai Chi and the Noble Art of Leaving Things Undone is a fresh, irreverent guide that offers a modern twist on the ancient practice of Tai Chi. Written by Tai Chi instructor Paul Read, this book steps away from the clichés and stereotypes often associated with Eastern practices. Instead, it introduces Tai Chi principles in a playful, accessible way by using animals—like apes, cats, and tortoises—as metaphors to illustrate core concepts. Accompanied by excellent illustrations, the book engages readers with a mix of humor, philosophy, and practical advice.
At its heart, this guide isn’t just about Tai Chi; it’s about how to live more efficiently and mindfully by embracing the Taoist principle of ‘leaving things undone.’ Ideal for anyone interested in wellness, mindfulness, and productivity, it offers a toolkit for achieving better health, balance, and calm in an increasingly hectic world.
Packed with insightful testimonials like “If you never own another Tai Chi book, please own this one” and “A great contribution to the world of Tai Chi”, this book is perfect for both long-time Tai Chi practitioners and those new to the idea of mindful living. Complete with links to a 10-video playlist, it’s a well-rounded resource that’s practical, light-hearted, and deeply thoughtful.
