HERE IS A REVIEW OF KOICHI TOHEI'S MIND-OPENING BOOK - Ki in Daily Life  - ON KI AND KIATSU.

"Sometimes you drift through life, wondering how things can ever get better.

As for myself, buying this book turned out to be one of the major turning points in my life.

This book is a must read for anyone who wants proof of the power of positive thinking. Trust me, it does work!

The best part of the book (my own opinion), is actually found at the end of the book, under the "Thirteen Rules for Disciplinants". Apply these rules to your daily life (not just in Akido) and you will realise that "not to contend with others brings absolute victory" which parallels Sun Tzu's thinking that "to win without fighting is best". If everyone on Earth had a copy of this book, there would be no more unnecessary wars being waged."
