Reviews for Tai Chi For Health

"""One of the best books on the subject. . . . Practical throughout and stripped of mysticism.""— New York Times ""A tranquil, graceful way of keeping fit.""— Harper's Bazaar ""You will have to consult Mr. Maisel's book. . . . Tai Chi could become that all-important exercise factor that stands between you and health problems.""— Prevention ""It is Chinese, old, comfortable, deeply pleasurable. It helps the figure and skin and tranquilizes. It is done in a small space in ordinary clothes without music. It is good for the young, for the old.""— Vogue"
