    About this ebook

    USA Best Books Award FINALIST - 2015
    Tai chi’s big reward is a joyful heart

    We all know tai chi can be very rewarding if you keep doing it.

    That’s the rub—consistently doing it!

    How do you keep your motivation high day after day, year after year?

    After more than thirty years of practicing tai chi chuan, author Henry Zhuang shares what has kept him with tai chi for so long, and how his tai chi evolved from a “mere exercise” to a rewarding path, improving his life and happiness. He promises this for you too!

    If you are considering tai chi, this book is for you. It will present a clear exploration of the benefits of tai chi, such as strength, balance, vitality, virtue, courage, and harmony. This will help you make the decision to get involved.

    If you already practice tai chi, you may need a boost to help you stay on track, overcoming obstacles in your progress.

    Tip: Simply doing the act, focusing on aerobic activity alone, is not enough. You must find ways to advance both your mind-set and your physical body. Achieving this shift will change your tai chi profoundly.

    It will move from a mere act of doing to a way of following your joyful heart.

    Get ready to make tai chi a happy lifelong experience.

    Henry Zhuang

    Henry Zhuang (Zhuang, Yinghao), born in Shanghai, China, Dec. 11, 1944, is a professional asset and enterprise evaluator and a part-time associate professor at Shanghai Normal University, School of Finance and Business. He loves taijiquan and practices the Buddhadharma. Currently, he is a partner of a professional asset evaluation company, but his lifelong ambition is the promotion of taijiquan culture. He has studied with: Li Zhao Sheng, the creator of Meridian Circulating Taijiquan; Zhu Datong, researcher of taijiquan; Yan Cheng De, a disciple of Zhu Guiting (inheritor of Yang Style); Xu Guo Chang (student of Ding De Sheng, disciple of Master Wu Gong Yi) from whom he learned Wu (Gong Yi) Style Taijiquan. He has acknowledged Shou Guan Shun (student of Zhi Xie Tang, inheritor of Sun Style Taijiquan) as his master, and been accepted as a disciple by Duan Baohua, the principle master of Liang Yi Dian Xue Gongfu. By the end of the 1990s, concepts of the mind inside the internal power of taijiquan became public. It had been hidden from the public and almost lost. This drove Henry to study the mind approach of internal power with passion. He was fortunate to be instructed by Lang Cheng and Guo Zheng Xun, disciples of Wei Shu Ren (inheritor of The Mind Approach of Internal Power of Yang Style). Since 2000, Henry has been giving free lessons on the mind approach of taijiquan to more than sixty business executives, including presidents of prominent companies, partners of the Big Four, bank presidents, and senior managers. For fifteen years, Henry and the taiji fellows have been learning and benefiting from each other. Many of them are now competent teachers of the mind approach. However, teaching face to face has its limitations in spreading the idea of the mind approach. Therefore, from 2012, he started to put his understanding and perceptions into writing books and producing videos. In May 2013, The Mind Approach by Henry Zhuang was published by SDX Joint Publishing Company; during January 2014, the flash of The Mind Approach of Wu Style Taiji Quan (Chinese) was published globally in Apple’s App Store; in March 2014, the publishing contract of book and ebook on the mind approach was signed between Henry and YMAA Publication Center. IPTV of China Telecom has listed The Mind Approach of Taiji Preservation Coaching as an important content for the Health Channel.
