I am not the type that writes long and detailed reviews, but this is a book that surely deserves more than a few words.
When I first ordered it, I didn't really know what to expect... mostly I got it because it had a nice cover, and because it said something about a secret art from ancient Tibet... well, after reading a few pages I realized that, no matter what, this book is surely one of those must-to, but not because it is magical or gives you super-powers, but just because it talks about things that are so normal, so common and so usual that one does not see them anymore.
Plus, the exercises it teaches are simple but at the same time something revitalizing, and they can sure be done by anyone; I've been reviewing them with my mother, and elder person, and despite her age, they have caused a great impact on her health and mood.
I have nothing but gratitude towards this author. Thanks for helping me focus in what is important again!!!!!!
This book continues being in the shelve containing my favorite books of all times!!!!!!!
 Great book, but could have been better September 23, 2005

This is a great book.
The art is now a part of my training schedule.
It could have been perfect, but there are two things i didn't liked:
The author says he is spiritual & happy, but can stop bitching about other humans around him that don't think or exercise like him. I found it ok after the first time, but then it became annoying.
And the drawings could & SHOULD have been a lot better.
I mean, if you can't be a writer & a drawer at the sime time, just be a writer!
 The movements may be good - A pity the author is difficult to stand... September 6, 2005

I bought this book because I became curious after reading the various posted reviews. I do Yoga occasionally, and I was lucky enough to find an excellent book when I was 14 (over 25 years ago...), which was written by a Briton who was extremely balanced, pleasant, and clear in his writing. I cannot say that this book had the same effect on me. I found the author of the secret art rather pompous and arrogant and, in the circumstances, this made it harder for me to take seriously the whole book. While the movements make a nice workout, which I have no doubt can be healthy and cleansing of both mind and body, the messenger is not a very good advertisement. Making fun and speaking with such superiority about everything that is not the secret art, and accusing just about everybody of being superficial and stupid (unless, of course, one practices the art) suggests to me that the art in question has not really worked its magic on this teacher. Giving advice about being tolerant and well-disposed towards others sounds pretty moot, coming from this source. I gave the book two stars because of the practical part, even though I found some of the explanations of the movements rather wanting, although overall clear enough.
Enlightening September 5, 2005

This book is very enlightening not only on the history of Seamm Jasani, but suggestions on how to apply it to your life. The author also has a sense of humor which makes it enjoyable to read.
