Eine Erkundungsreise in die spirituelle Welt Chinas • Eine lebendige, klare und sehr persönliche Einführung in die Weisheit Chinas vom I Ging bis Feng Shui • Die Bestseller-Autorin Adeline Yen Mah legt hier ein brillant erzähltes Sachbuch vor • 'Das Buch sei jedem empfohlen, der sich China annähern will' Ob Adeline Yen Mah zeigt, warum im I Ging bereits die Grundlagen der modernen Mathematik enthalten sind oder inwiefern in den Texten der alten taoistischen Meister Einsteins Relativitätstheorie vorausgegriffen wird; ob sie davon erzählt, wie chinesische Ärzte für jede Krankheit das richtige Kraut finden oder wie Taoismus und Zen unserer zerrissenen westlichen Welt heilsame Impulse geben können: stets bietet die Autorin ein Fülle an spannenden Einsichten und Inspirationen und schlägt meisterhaft eine Brücke zwischen östlichem und westlichem Denken.
