Product Description:
A fifth-degree black belt in the revolutionary martial art of aikido and co-owner of an aikido school in Mill Valley, California, George Leonard is, "the granddaddy of the consciousness movement" (Newsweek). Leonard is president of the Esalen Institute and founder of Leonard Energy Training (LET), a practice inspired by aikido that offers alternative ways of coping with everyday issues. In this book he applies ancient techniques, physical and spiritual, to the battles we wage every day in both our public and private lives. Along the way, Leonard shows us unique and effective ways to:
cope with sudden, often brutal, setbacks in our lives--and turn them into gifts for growth
develop ki, or positive energy, to enhance vitality
use the aikido principle of "blending" to deal with verbal and psychological attacks
With an already large following, George Leonard now brings the valuable wisdom of aikido to a wider audience.
"The Way of Aikido is a classic statement of aikido's philosophy and its translation to everyday activities . . . Deeply felt, beautifully written." --Michael Murphy, author of Golf in the Kingdom and The Future of the Body

At a recent aikido seminar, I asked some friends why they practiced aikido. All three of them had slightly different answers, but all mentioned that it made them a better person. I remember thinking they seemed to be on to something, but I couldn't authentically give the same response at the time.
I took up aikido six years ago in Asia because it was a martial art that fit my non-violent sensibilities. I continue to practice it because, like George Leonard, aikido represents a path to ... Read More

I came across this book in my travels and found it very intriguing. I found the idea of Aikido interesting and investigated further. I found Mr. Leonard gave a great over view to the philosophies of the founder on Aikido. He incorporated Aikido into your everyday life situations and it has truly changed my life. I now practice in the Martial Way of Aikido and my life has not been the same ever since. Thank you Mr. Leonard.

After receiving mastership in Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki. I started exploring other Japanese disciplines dealing with Ki (Lifeforce Energy).
This book crossed my path, and to say I was disappointed would be an understatement.
In my opinion this book was writen solely to enlist new students.
The author gives some background of Aikido and it's founder O Sensei. Unfortunately Mr Leonard spends most of his time talking about the Esalen Institute, and LET (Leonard Energy Training ... Read More
