An interesting introduction to t'ai chi and Qigong, although of limited value if you aren't actively taking a class/lessons. The author assumes the reader has professional instruction and attempts to add to the professional lessons, rather than teaching the movements himself. If nothing else, I learned the concept of "dan tien" from the book, and find that being conscious of my "core" as I walk/stand has improved my posture.
A good broad point of view.
