Synopsis

This book is a unique work, a martial arts-based Korean health system. It is a book is about taking care of ourselves. The author, a Taekwondo grandmaster and acupuncturist, makes the argument that we are all connected, and we must take care of others as well as ourselves. There is no individual health that does not affect the health of everyone else. Conversely, there is no illness that does not affect us all, either. We cannot trust the government or private industry to guarantee health to everyone. Your health is your responsibility; it comes from within you. So does happiness. All happiness and health start with mental attitude. From that come right actions through the instruction of wise teachers which bloom into health-supporting habits that lead to happiness and fitness long into old age. The author’s recommended actions are very basic and very small. Little thoughts and actions matter.
