《书目》(Booklist)书评
This is an unusual book that combines Taoist philosophy, sports psychology, and self-help. A very simplified explanation of Tao is that it is a way of overcoming resistance by submitting to it; one integrates oneself into the natural flow. The authors apply this belief system to sports by describing how techniques such as meditation, visualization, centering, and focusing contribute to successful athletic performances. They go on to present a strong case, with convincing examples, for incorporating Tao into one's business and personal lives, including methods for visualizing success and learning to center one's attention, focus on the important tasks, and utilize meditation to achieve a relaxed state. Personal lives are enriched by using the precepts of Tao to simplify, moderate, balance, and persist in everyday situations. Unique, thought-provoking, and possibly quite beneficial. ~--Wes Lukowsky

Taosports embodies an Eastern philosophical and religious approach to optimizing experiences. According to the authors, ``thinking body, dancing mind means that you have within you all that you need to be and to do anything you wish.'' The authors provide many exercises for the best utilization of this process. The tools include visualization, focusing, and centering. Examples of how athletes and others have benefited by incorporating elements of Taosports are included throughout. Other books by Huang include Embrace Tiger, Return to Mountain (Celestial Arts Pr., 1990) and Quantum Soup (Celestial Arts Pr., 1988). This self-improvement guide gives a taste of Tao but should not be considered an introduction to that subject. Buy for demand.-- J. Sara Paulk, Concord P.L., N.H. (c) Copyright 2010.
