At first look this book might just seem like lots of Mantak Chia's books have been condensed into just one volume. That's not bad at all: despite all the material from Chia there has never been a good structured approach learning it by yourself. This book is *the* Guide to help you through the early training: the exercises are described well, the illustrations are better than in most of Chia's books and new things are gradually and methodologically introduced to the student. Sometimes I missed more detailed explanation on the theory (that's why I only gave 4 stars) but this book takes the practical approach: you learn by doing.

But this book is more than just Chia's stuff: if you do the meditations described here and don't start fooling around with your own modifications, prepare for a (pleasant) surprise: this is not just a book on exercise, is is a start of a spiritual journey. Achieving the Golden Light by a balanced training of your Three Treasures (Essence, Qi and Spirit) is a small breakthrough in itself. Consider it as a Gift from Dao.

'100 Days' will last a person 100 years. Full of valuable information, it will take much longer than 100 days to incorporate. A friend and I did the 100-day program and found this only long enough to skim the surface. Now on my second go-through of the program, I am taking a month to do each of Yudelove's weekly exercises. This book is a basic text for anyone interested in understanding and practicing qigong - or anyone who wants to know how energy influences the body, mind and health. Highly recommended.

This might be agood book if you know exactly know what you are doing. Trying to do energy exercises week after week without any control from a teacher is just proposterous, and will get you into a mental institution. Some exercises are very advanced and might cause disfunction in your mental state and your sex life. So, i advise you to be careful.

I am from Middle East and I say now that this book was total horrible. At first I thought it might be because my English is my second language, but after many careful reads I realize that this book was written by someone head in the sick! I have teacher over here and he look at it and he laughs this man just trying to make money and teach people all wrong about magic! What have to do with spirituality. None!

this book is really good for beginers,hwvr mr eric could hv compiled it in chapters at least as chi(breath),jing(body),shen(mind). i hv also read master mantak chia's neikung ,and mr eric advises "to put your left hand over your navel and your right hand over your left to end the micro cosmic orbit(bringing the chi to the tan tein,where as master mantk chia advises the oppisit."I AM CONFUSED" PLEASE HELP * SOMEBODY* *ANYBODY* as the hands are very important,and i loose my total concentration when this doubt comes to my mind .i also am a martial arts student(karate) and am now v.deep in to learning thichi chuan ,chikung. other wise the book has been of real help to me .

This book is too simple. but is a good primer for beginners. However there are some other good books available which cover the introductions better.

My main probem with this book is that some of the acupuncture points are incorrect....This is a really serious blunder for an author to make..Learning the qigong massage using the wrong points is very uncool. For that reason alone I cant recomend this author.

It's okay, but lacks real content I am a REAL Chinese, I can tell that Eric is not. His book is very superficial and many points have been taken/copied or a similar to many other books and information available. Nothing new has been presented except for a change of names and illustrations. However if you are a Westerner who likes to collect books for the sake of collection or want to see a summarization of more authentic books and deeper information then this would be the book for you. It makes a good "coffee table" reading for those with no time. In this case, the price outlines the quality of the book. You pay for what you get. There are many other books available which have higher quality and content. When looking at a taoist book you must look at the author of the book and his/her credentials. As a general tip. In searching for a traditional chinese taoist book find a taoist.

One of the best books I have ever read on Chi Kung. Master Yudelove really teaches with his hearth and energy in his book. It is a rare experience to follow the guidence describe in the book. I have already advise to read it to all my Chi Kung students here in Turkey. Thank you with all my hearth.

"100 Days..." provides a rare combination of unique practice; any more or less advanced student may find helpful tips, easy to learn but hard to discover; and - maybe the most important one - the books teaches us to be happy by our being with the Way since happiness is the natural state of human mind. I think that "100 Days..." is a must for all Qigong enthusiasts around the world, regardless of the style or background
