A review by nixiethepixie
Yang Sheng: The Art of Chinese Self-Healing by Katie Brindle

informative inspiring lighthearted medium-paced

3.5

Brindle offers an introductory, accessible and fun look at adopting Yang Sheng, TCM and Taoist influenced practices into every day life. She does a good job of presenting complex practices into easy to digest, practical tools. I found the tables breaking down information helpful. This book is clearly written for a Western audience, who may have never encountered TCM ways of thinking. At times the apologetic nature of the writing, eg. 'sounds strange, but trust me...', felt like it took away from what the book was offering. 

Main takeaways:
- attach new habits to things you already do daily (eg. brushing teeth)
-  take care of habits, food, body and soul with the seasons
