Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth

By Peter Kelder

This is an interesting little book. It presents, beneath a thick layer of fantastical storytelling, a series of simple movements which supposedly can make you feel younger and healthier. I haven't tried them yet, but they are similar to Tai Chi, and I suppose that just about any stretching/agility movement, performed daily, would be beneficial to most folks. The story around the movements is incredibly silly, though, and borders on Victorian. I am thinking about tracking down a few more books out of the many which are available about this series of movements to see what they have to say.

Book 21 in 2007.
