Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Secrets to Living Younger Longer
Michael Mayer · 2004
62/100
👎 Skip It
Dr. Mayer brings genuine decades-long expertise in Qigong and Tai Chi and the integration with Western psychology is more coherent than most in this genre. Faith-minded readers should know the Taoist cosmological framework is central rather than incidental, and some health claims outrun the clinical trial evidence — but for readers already drawn to mind-body Eastern practices this is a credible, thoughtful guide.
