In the 1970s Dr. Michael Mayer began his study of Tai Chi Chuan and Qigong with me. With continuous diligence, devotion, and skill he grows and ages with me as faithful student and friend. It delights my eyes and warms my heart to witness the masterful way Dr. Mayer creates a joining of hands between Eastern and Western spiritual traditions in this book.

REVIEWS:

Kirkus Reviews says: "A meaningful contribution to the spiritual self-help library…A psychologist blends spiritual paths from the East, West, and beyond for an innovative approach to healing…an expansive tale told with humility and insight." 

The Midwest Book Review says (December, 2012): "...much to ponder on the spirtual world and how to better understand it...the metaphysical is not taken lightly in "The Path of a Reluctant Metaphysician."  ...How to better piece together one's place and soul for the ones who don't delve into the ideas that the stars determine our destiny. Worth considering  for spirituality and metaphysical collections..."

The Mindquest Review of Books by Lightword Publishing (2013): This book explains why negative experiences, or just coping with today's reality, offers opportunity for accessing your inner "Genii" to create a better life. Dr Mayer reveals ancient secrets and methods to cope with common problems and for entering a rewarding life path. Mindquest recommends and reviews the book, The Path of the Reluctant Metaphysician, as "exceptional."
