Body Energy

Body Energy is the first book in Jan de Vries' outstanding new health series, Nature's Gift, and is intended to show how the body's energies can be used to combat ailments from headaches to spinal problems. Even the most healthy of us can benefit from an increase in energy; a physical and mental boost encouraged by attitude and action. In this book, Jan de Vries outlines, with the help of drawings and photographs, detailed exercises which may be used to increase body energy. He describes the harnessing of energy through the mind, eyes, hands, bones and muscles, as well as through nutrition. Body Energy is a triumph - available to us all.

Reviews

A profound and lucid mixture of philosophy, theology and self-help. It's a perfect detox for the soul... Spry, eloquent, pacy.... Armstrong has a knack for grappling with complex ideas in the lightest of ways

—— The Times

It sees Armstrong combine in this brief volume both her usual high quality historical scholarship and an explicit self-help programme that echoes her rousing lectures... Challenging, persuasive self-help book that seeks to distil the very best of religion

—— Independent

Straightforward without being simplistic...frequently fascinating

—— Metro

Flashes of sheer brilliance

—— Scotland on Sunday

One of the charming things about Armstrong's book is its deliberate descents into bathos. We move from the high thoughts of the old sages to the demands of everyday life...from an exquisitely intelligent exposition of Sophocles's Oedipus Tyrannus to a meditation upon how we might overcome a personal dislike of a colleague or family member

—— Financial Times
