What a cool & surprisingly useful, book.

Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2023

There’s something in here for everyone. It’s a good size book hit is in many manageable sections so it’s not stodgy or overwhelming. I can’t vouch for its utility across the multiverse; but it certainly has some good advice for this corner of the galaxy.

A very strange but unique book that attempts to cover a huge area of interesting information.

I have been a voracious reader of all kinds of books on numerous and unusual subjects. This book may be one of the most unusual and unique books I have ever read. The title is what caught my eye. The Art of Shen Ku: The Ultimate Traveler's Guide of this Planet" by Zeek. This text makes the claim to be "The first intergalactic art form of the entire universe." Strangely, that claim may be actually true. After reading this huge fully illustrated volume. I have to say I have never came across a book with so many wide and varied topics as this text. It is like an encyclopedia in scope, covering an enormous amount of material.

The following is just a very small sample of information this book contains: Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, Heart massage, A traveler's Asian Health Secrets, How to maintain sexuality while traveling, How to survive disaster situations, A traveler's guide to staying beautiful naturally, A guide to kids' ailments, A guide to character through hand reading, hand writing, numerology, A condensed course in Acupressure skills, Vitamins deficiency chart, A guide to beating sex problems, allergies, skin problems, Reflexology zones, How to deal with bullies and bandits, Asian health secrets of pulse diagnosis, face diagnosis, A guide to enhancing Ki, Juice fasting, Aromatherapy, Yoga Postures, Various exercise plans for men and women, Basic wrestling, Self-Defense and Stick fighting techniques.

In conclusion, if you are seeking a very unique and fully illustrated guide to just about anything you can imagine, you may want to check out this book. It will amuse you while at the same time providing some really great information and tips you can actually use. I found it a great read.

Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Haiku Moments: How to read, write and enjoy haiku)

I have lost count on how many times I have given this book as a gift!

Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2009

This book was given to me as a gift many years ago, at first I did not know what to make of it. It was a cartoon book! There were all of these very artful illustrations and cute little cartoon characters (each with their own little bio!). But soon after sitting with the book alone and having a little bit of time to start digesting what was in the book I was blown away! There seemed to be a little bit of something on just about everything. Want to know how to tie down that load in the back of your truck, check out how in this book. Want to know what herbs, vitamins or acupuncture points will help your energy, again, check it out in this book. It was amazing. It also seems that everytime I am reading on something, I come across some information that I never saw before, it is a continual source of wonderment.

At first I was a bit cynical of the book, how could someone know so much about so many different subjects? I tested it, over time I had friends who were well versed in their individual disciplines; I checked with acupuncturist, martial artist, yoga, herbologist, they all agreed that the information was of value. I was sold!

Since then I have gifted so many of these books and also loaned out my own copy, never getting it back and buying new ones (I did this so many times, my wife finally on my latest copy, wrote a nice personal little note on it, maybe so I stop giving my copy away?!?)

I cannot recommend this book enough, get it today.

I got THE ART OF SENKU book after I was looking for martial arts training tips online. I found pages of the book and got curious where they came from.

I found the book on AMAZON and it was better than I thought it would be. There are all sorts of subjects covered in the book. Self defense and martial arts training, exercise tips, symptoms of ailments, benefits of herbs, how to deal with household pests, recipes, growing plants, knot tying, etc.

I can best describe it as a Chinese Boy Scout manual.

Imagine, if you will, that you are in the company of a man who has travelled the world, seen many things that are NOT in the guidebooks, been in the company of many people both great and small, taken a lot of hard knocks, learned much to prevent repeating any mistakes, and lived to tell about it.
This is the book he wrote.
Equal parts Boy Scout Handbook, Whole Earth Catalogue and "Junior Woodchuck Guidebook" (the impossably complete reference book that Donald Duck's nephews carried with them), with painstakingly detailed illustrations on each and every page, tinted with Oriental wisdom.
Just a sampling of the contents (with randomly chosen pages): "Asian secrets of walking stick combat", "A traveler's guide to self-hypnosis", "Rapid reference accupressure treatments", "Emergency entertainment for bored, whining or fighting kids", "Effective beauty treatments with simple natural ingredients", "How to survive disaster situations", "How to condition for martial art strikes", "Non-violent child control", "Simple and healthy vegetarian recipes", "How to execute classic Kung Fu moves".
My friend, this is the one! From boating emergencies to avoiding a fight, from preventing food poisoning to physical fitness information, from natural therapies to preventing bedwetting, from Laws of the Sea to preventing skin problems, from tying knots to yoga postures....
I cannot say enough about this book. Buy it. Better yet, buy two and hide one copy. Someone is bound to "borrow" this from you.
(ADDENDUM: I sent a copy to a friend of mine. He has paid me to send him four additional copies to give away as presents.)

An amazing and unique book, which is completely different to any other book out there, it is a veritable treasure trove of information, yet it is easy to read and entertaining. The drawings are incredible. A great book to dip in and out of. Highly entertaining and factual.
