In When Less is More, Mr. Breslow challenges the underlying health notion of our society -- that more of something is necessarily better. He argues for adopting a sensible lifestyle known as the Middle Path and shows how this ancient philosophy, shared by such divergent thinkers as Confucius, Lao Tzu, Hippocrates, Moses Maimonides and Abraham Lincoln, is valid for us today. Then he guides the reader to his or her Middle Path through meditations, visualizations, physical exercises and commonsense advice. The journey is a fascinating exploration of the mind's power and its healing potential. When Less is More may change your life forever.

Beyond the Closed Door explains in clear layman's terms the evolution of Chinese Culture and how it has profoundly influenced the character of T'ai Chi Ch'uan. It does so by framing Chinese ideas in the context of Western thought, pointing out the differences as well as the similarities. Beyond the Closed Door is not a how-to book for someone wishing to learn T'ai Chi. Rather it is a study of T'ai Chi's cultural heritage that, at the same time, requires an explanation of the principles of this soft martial art. If you want to know why the Chinese developed their unique system of martial arts, why the Chinese meditate and we in the West pray, then this book is for you.

T’ai Chi and qigong are popular because of their great reputations as exercises with numerous health-related benefits. Can these benefits simply be results of placebo effects? Chapters in this e-book not only provide an interesting historical backdrop in which taiji and qigong developed, but also provide scientific support for the efficacy and effects of both modalities. Breslow’s chapter focuses on Daoist practices associated with their quest for immortality and longevity. Rhoads, Crider, and Hayduk looks at taiji and qigong with the tools of modern science. DeMarco compares Yang-style taiji practice of with guidelines provided by the National Institue of Health. Kachur, Carleton, and Asmundson provide an excellent chapter that gives insight into aspects of taiji practice that improve balance.
