The How of Tao
20 Dec 2011
By Carl A. Totton
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Pedram Shojai has taken some of the most esoteric information in the world and made it accessible, practical, and so easily understood a child could do it! Indeed, children with less of a need to intellectualize are generally far easier to teach than many adults. This beautifully designed handbook is filled with tales of encounter with strong mystic seers and great teachers, and then exquisitely shows the reader how to attain similar skills on their own by simply following the Way (Dao)
While the Taoist Path is simple, it does require some degree of focused intent in order to give direction and responsibility. And the "gongs" or focused intention exercises allow one to pursue their study of the Tao in a natural, yet intensive manner. You will also love Pedram's accounts of personal experiences all over the world which helped sensitize him to the reality of the path he chose to pursue. As a person trained in the philosophical, spiritual, Chinese medical, and martial traditions, Pedram is able to seamlessly weave together the common elements found across paradigms in a way that engages the reader.
Rise and Shine is the perfect tool to help persons from many cultural backgrounds find their own unique direction while walking the path trod by many. I am proud of my student Pedram and the way he has presented the teachings in such a friendly yet accurate way.

A thorough, thoughtful, accessible guide
7 Aug 2011
By Michael Lane
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
If you're like me, you've danced around energy work in one form or another for years, certain that there is something to it and sure that it's right for you, but you've never quite been able to get started. This book is filled with great information (as is its frequently referenced companion Website, taoistpath.com) that will help you initiate your pursuit of a cleaner, clearer life - in body, mind and spirit. Thank goodness for Pedram Shojai's book and his commitment to sharing his knowledge. Mr. Shojai not only points to the path, he helps you weed it and rake it, then he shines his light on it and takes you by the hand to help lead you on your journey! And of course, his pedagogical approach throughout the book is appropriately balanced with the constant reminder that "The Way is the Training," letting us know that, for all his guidance, WE have to do the work to reap the benefits.
I strongly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in personal evolution and growth.

No previous experience or knowledge necessary

This book is excellent. I purchased it wanting to learn more about Taoist Alchemy with no knowledge or experiences in this topic. Pedram does an excellent job of explaining what are typically difficult concepts for westerns to understand.
It easy to get started with the included exercises, especially after the "why" behind the exercises is explained. I personally started noticing results very quickly. I couldn't recommend this book more.
