This is the liveliest, most accessible guidebook you are ever likely to find to those invisible bridges between mind and matter, psyche and soul: the 'meridians' of Chinese medicine. Mike Mandl combines decades of clinical experience with his writer's ear for the everyday metaphors that confirm the lived reality of these invisible pathways. Be prepared for unsettling and enlightening moments as you recognize friends, loved ones, colleagues and - most importantly - yourself, in the mirror of these pages!

The Meridians by Mike Mandl is like a precious jewel. It sits comfortably in your hand and gleams uniformly as you roll it around your palm. It shines with the polish of long practice and gradually accrued wisdom. It pleases the eye with its many-sided beauty and rolls rhythmically as you examine first one angle and then the next. Regardless of perspective, this gem gleams with agile wit and humour that only dedicated and good humoured experience can bestow. This book will delight anyone interested in the central facet of Oriental medicine - the magic of the meridians.
