A fifth-degree black belt in the revolutionary martial art of aikido and co-owner of an aikido school in Mill Valley, California, George Leonard is, "the granddaddy of the consciousness movement" (Newsweek). Leonard is president of the Esalen Institute and founder of Leonard Energy Training (LET), a practice inspired by aikido that offers alternative ways of coping with everyday issues. In this book he applies ancient techniques, physical and spiritual, to the battles we wage every day in both our public and private lives. Along the way, Leonard shows us unique and effective ways to:
• cope with sudden, often brutal, setbacks in our lives—and turn them into gifts for growth
• develop ki, or positive energy, to enhance vitality
• use the aikido principle of "blending" to deal with verbal and psychological attacks With an already large following, George Leonard now brings the valuable wisdom of aikido to a wider audience.

The Way of Aikido
For years I have been reciting nearly daily, "Help me be so clear on who I am that I can generously afford to let other people be who they are, too. Help me to set aside my defensive behavior, and teach me to blend with other people and see their point of view while not relinquishing my own." Deciding to dig deeper into the meaning and practice of this idea led me to George Leonard's book.
I like and appreciate the notion of seeing situations from the point of view of others involved. That has helped me incorporate the consequent notion that everyone has their own reality.
And yet, it took me on and off reading for 15 weeks to get through the 194 pages. Perhaps because my interest was not Aikido, per se. Perhaps because, though published in 1999, Leonard himself was born in 1923 and therefore writing on a style not engaging to me. Or perhaps, just the last part: an unengaging style.
Glad to have read it. Glad to be done.
