2.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Material + Overpricing = Low Value,
By Zoopeda (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Points for Profit: The Essential Guide to Practice Success for Acupuncturists (Paperback)
As a student of TCM and someone who is preparing to set up a practice, I feel that the information in this book is indispensable. However, isn't it the starting practictioner, swamped in loans and other scary payments that go along with taking the plunge into starting a practice, who's looking for value above all else. Granted this book is 400 pages. But dozens of other publishers have sold research based books for far less. (The epically acclaimed, 5-star reader reviewed tome "Healing with Whole Foods" is almost 450 gigantic pages and $23!) It's ashame that the only people buying this book are required to by their professors as a part of a tcm degree program (which seems to fall under the category "taking advantage"). My only point of hesitation in giving this book 2 stars is that unfortunately it's the authors who suffer for what is evidently the publisher's pricing decision. But as another reviewer quotes, this is the one and only book of its kind, and until there are others to compete...get it from the library.

This IS NOT the only book out there with this material,

This review is from: Points for Profit: The Essential Guide to Practice Success for Acupuncturists (Paperback)
The information is good, but I saw people complaining about the unnecessarily hefty price tag. I would recommend other practice building books like Kevin Doherty's Building Your Dream Practice, Burton Kent's Never Market Again or Brooke Thompson's online course Practice Abundance. I personally think the people over at Blue Poppy are full of themselves and don't care to give them my money.

Required for school,
By NYCNomad (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Points for Profit: The Essential Guide to Practice Success for Acupuncturists (Paperback)
This was required for school, but it does have a few handy features. It has a cd that has sample files in it that you can base your files off of, but it was a very basic sort of file. If you are knowledgeable in this are you could probably do better (ie an accountant, or the likes). But for the average acupuncturist, it's a good starting point.
