Synopsis

The Five Elements brings the wisdom of an ancient healing system to modern listeners, helping them understand themselves--why they do what they do--better.

Dondi Dahlin shows us that we are all born with individual rhythms that go beyond the influence of our genes and upbringing. The five elements originated in ancient Chinese medicine over 2,000 years ago--when scholars theorized that the universe is composed of five forces: water, wood, fire, earth, and metal. Understanding these elements helps us stay in balance physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. By explaining the efficacy of wood, the depth of water, the joy of fire, the compassion of earth, and the wisdom of metal, this audiobook helps people understand themselves and form lasting connections to others, answering the age-old question of why we do what we do.

This is probably my all-time favorite reference book. I really like how it is written. I have done the quiz with so many people and we have all learned so much about ourselves as a result. This book is one that I keep pulling off the shelf and referencing. Since I read it in November, I have given 1......more
