George Leonard is widely recognised as the granddaddy of the consciousness movement,' possessing a 5th degree black belt in Aikido. Here, he applies these ancient techniques, physical and psiritual, to the every day battles waged in life. The techniques he covers include those to cope with sudden, brutal set-backs in life; the development of 'KI' or positive energy; and the principle of 'blending' to deal with verbal and psychological attacks.'
