Product Description
Focusing on the traditional wisdom and health practices of Tibet, this book takes a practical approach to the crucial relationship between our health and the way we live. It distils these teachings into a comprehensive guide to preventive health care and health maintenance for people of all ages, cultures, and constitutional types. Clearly explaining the principles and methods handed down by Tibetan teachers and doctors, the author gives guidelines for lay persons in applying them to different aspects of daily life. Readers are encouraged to determine their own needs by taking the "self-profile" test, which enables them to discover their own physical/personality type according to the Tibetan system. Sachs keys each dietary and lifestyle recommendation to the different personal types identified in Tibetan practice. Preventive health care - the fastest growing dimension in contemporary Western medicine - increasingly looks to the individual to take responsibility for promoting health through a healthy lifestyle. Sachs' systematic approach and helpful charts and drawings make this manual easy to use. He leaves us little excuse to put off taking the simple steps that will start us on the path toward full health and well-being. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, but suspicious., November 24, 2006
By charles ross (cincinnati, oh United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This may be a good compendium about the subject, but step lightly. I got this book hoping to learn about some qigong/yoga-like exercises known as "the 5 tibetans" and they are indeed featured. The book is well put together.

I noticed one section before the above exercises mentioning "Tibetan Tai Chi" - and there is no such thing. It's like saying "Australian Bluegrass". I visited the web site of the person he refers to as his source on this subject and the lineage is nonsense. Master Liu Song sudied at shaolin and has learned some sort of art with roots in Tibet, but it is not tai chi chuan, which is a very specific chinese martial art that came together in Chen village and which was not even named "tai chi chuan" until Yang Lu Chan popularized it the 19th century. Sachs compounds the confusion by mistranslating "chi" in the phrase tai chi chuan.

With such offhand attributions in print, I wonder about the accuracy of the rest of the book.
