In this book, Bob Flaws, a world-renowned Western teacher and practitioner of TCM, explains why Western students and practitioners often have difficulty reading the pulse.

Very disorganized
30 Jan 2007
Format:Paperback
While this book covers information that is of interest to TCM practitioners and lay people alike, it does so in a disorganized manner. One would think that a book on pulse diagnosis might start with describing the attributes of a pulse. Defining the terms used to describe the pulse would be a good place to start. Perhaps then one could go into how to take a pulse and what to look for. Unfortunately this book violates all standard pedagogical principles. Terms are used before they are defined. Circular definitions are used and information is presented in a redundant manner. While the information is interesting, the book should have been written in a much clearer fashion.

The book is short and concise.
15 May 2009
Format:Paperback
The book is a great start for the recent graduate of TCM. A much clearer picture of the pulses than the required text books.
