The Spark in the Machine: How the Science of Acupuncture Explains the Mysteries of Western Medicine by Daniel Keown

beyondevak's review

5.0

The Spark in the Machine is outstanding! Totally my kind of book, it is an exceptional blend of health science and life. The great thing about this book is its simplicity. It speaks in such a functional way, making the hard-to-understand understandable. I could lose myself for hours in this book. While it is certainly not a quick read, it is definitely a valuable one.

As a therapist with a strong interest in fascia and fascia-related disorders, I found this book to be intriguing. I would put my endorsement all over it. As a health-minded individual who is totally into wellness, healing, and wholeness, I would not hesitate to recommend this.

Those who invest in this title will surely not be disappointed.

This is a really good book to explain the science of acupuncture. It's pretty dense but if people really want to know the details, I'll direct them to this book. Also, Keown's glee for explaining this is evident in his writing. He really enjoys it.
