Reviews

"The author captured so vividly the essence of the Chinese philosophy, customs and the teachings of the Buddhist masters. The daily practical "mind and body" exercises are an essential part of life that we shall all follow. As a frequent China business traveler and a student of China's history, this book emphasizes even more what I learned during my journeys there. An eye opener, easy and enjoyable reading for all."

Vlady Cornateanu, Author of The Prince Of Light And The Age Of Darkness: The Untold Story Of Babaluca, Dracula's Son

“The book gives clarity to the power of the breath, and the importance of mindfulness. Now, I get it! We so often hear “breathe” when stressed and apply mindfulness when dealing with changes; but do we really understand what that means? This book put it in the right perspective. This book is timely and a “must have!”

Gloria Petersen, Author of The Art of Professional Connections

“Cornell's book is an amazing guide for people to learn from Chinese culture and wisdom on how to better relax and approach challenges. Whether you are trying to overcome obstacles at work or at home in relationships, the wisdom and lessons imparted in Cornell's book are invaluable. I highly recommend this book.”
