MessageNot to discourage your enjoyment of the book, but I got to know Yang's (former) editor quite well, we studied bagua together for a number of years.
He tells me that the books are compilations of assorted materials, not based on yang's experience, who was trained as an engineer and martial artist (who decades later, like many martial artists, got into meditation). The editor finally quit, as he felt the material had no real voice or integrity, as he put it - just his intellectual skills as a compiler.
Western readers often assume that a book by someone with a Chinese name lends it greater authority. In my opinion, this is a flawed assumption....the way I test books now is to hold it and have my shen read the book (i.e. read the author's vibration) and within 30 seconds i start getting the feedback as to whether I should more slowly digest the information in the book. Maybe the book only has one paragraph that I needed to rread....
but I'd love to hear what you find most valuable in the book. Please share.
Michael
