Paul Read, 2019

The Manual of Bean Curd Boxing: Tai Chi and the Noble Art of Leaving Things Undone is a fresh, irreverent guide that offers a modern twist on the ancient practice of Tai Chi. Written by Paul Read, and instructor of over 30 years, the book steps away from the clichés and stereotypes often associated with Eastern practices. Instead, it introduces principles in a playful, accessible way by using animals—like apes, cats, and tortoises—as metaphors to illustrate core concepts. Accompanied by new visuals and extended Q&A sessions, the book engages readers with a mix of humour, philosophy, and practical advice. At its heart, this guide isn't just about Tai Chi; it's about how to live more efficiently and mindfully by embracing the Taoist principle of "Leaving Things Undone." Ideal for anyone interested in wellness, mindfulness, and productivity, it offers a toolkit for achieving better health, balance, and calm in an increasingly hectic world. Find out why the Tai Chi Player said, "If you never own another Tai Chi book, please own this one," or why the author of Movements of Magic described it as "a great contribution to the world of Tai Chi." This book is perfect for both long-time Tai Chi practitioners and those new to the idea of mindful living. This latest edition comes with bonus links to a private playlist, showcasing the workshops and exercises included in the book.
