A FANTASTIC GUIDE TO TCM

This book pulled me in the moment I opened it. It is incredibly easy to read and is a very good introductory guide to Traditional Chinese Medicine. I would recommend it to anyone who is curious about TCM but does not want to read large books on the topic. This book is written without lots jargon or unnecessary details. It is easy to follow and understand.Read it, you won't regret it, especially if you are a beginner such as myself.

An abundance of information for such a slim book

This book is a little gem. It sets out the basis of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the theoretical framework and types of treatment (acupuncture, acupressure, moxibustion, cupping, herbal medicine and Qi gong) in an amazingly easy to understand way. It also includes additional information on the history of TCM, accreditation in the US, and safety aspects. If you want to get to grips with what TCM is all about, but don't want to be bogged down with a tome, this is the book for you.

An excellent quick reference for any busy professional.

Voices of Qi is a pleasant way to obtain a great deal of TCM information in a short amount of time. Mr. Holland has the skills and talent to present some very new ways of thinking in some very familiar ways of thought. The book bridges the Eastern concepts with the Western mindset and does so with ease. With the rise in public and private interest of acupuncture this book should be read by all. It is one of those books that makes one say, "I wish I could write like that". Also, the book has very beautiful illustrations and design from cover to cover. I highly recommend and suggest this book for everyone, from M.D.s to massage students.

This is the book I use for patients seeking information.

When patients request a concise and approachable guide to acupuncture and TCM, I offer them this fine text. It answers so many common questions, responding to people's basic concerns about and interests in acupuncture.

Little book with big understanding of ancient art.

Every time I have studied that classic anatomy model with a thousand meridian points on it like a map I've thought, "Never shall I navigate this world." But upon reading Voices of Qi I can wrap myself around this ancient healing practice and learn how it has graduated into a contemporary western practice. It eloquently honors the mystery of this art while simplifying it for the benefit of patient participation. A little gem.
