Book Reviews of Working Out, Working Within
Book Review: A useful book, with good insights, but a bit oversimplistic
Summary: 3 Stars
I found that a lot of what this book was saying wasn't necessarily Taoism, but just common sense. For instance, the idea that one must be relaxed in order to perform at peak level isn't an exclusively Taoist concept. Much of the early part of the book is filled with this common sense type of instruction, and I was feeling very frustrated and disappointed. However, I found many passages and examples in the book that were quite insightful and thought-provoking. Lynch and Huang do an excellent job of showing how one's athletic life can be metaphorical of one's everyday life, and how one's everyday life need not be mundane. On the whole, I did not like the format of the book -- too instructional and directional, which I found to be a bit insulting after a while. Ultimately, this book wasn't the type of revelatory breakthrough that the title suggests it is, but it does contain enough depth to be a worthwhile read. Being that we live in a day and age when the spirit of play i! s vanishing from sports and athletic activity in general, this is a book that shows us we can retain the spirit of play in competitive sports without compromising our competitive urge. Also, the book does emphasize the fact that physical activity is necessary to our overall well-being, which is another point that is becoming lost in our modern fast-paced style of living.
