This innovative masterpiece is written to a variety of audiences -- from the most savvy of TCM practitioners to the individual who has but a cursory understanding of Chinese Medicine. Misha Cohen does an exceptional job of explaining the importance and feasibility of attaining overall health and well-being.
Highly esteemed in her field, Cohen provides a particularly useful and valuable guide for healing and the interconnectedness of body, mind and spirit. Her passion, and accordingly her gift, for healing the total person shine through the written word. This is highly comprehensive resource on a complex topic, and as such is an essential book for the library of the student of healing and the mind/body/spirit connection.

As a student of Acupuressure massage, I found Dr. Cohens book to be useful, informative, interesting, and easy to read. The book is based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine; it seems as if TCM advocate may not have even read the book he/she so strongly criticizes.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in or involved in Acupuncture, Acupressure, Massage, Chinese food therapy, etc. I recommend it to my fellow massage students all the time.
