Finding Balance through Compass of Health

It's amazing to read Dr. Kim's work and find my own constitution described. You will too! Find your body type and then understand your body's strengths and weaknesses, what foods help and/or hurt you, what type friend you make. He even provides a list of famous people with similar body types, like Marilyn Monroe and Bruce Lee. Even the hero and villan sets Kim describes are intriguingly paired; his descriptions help me understand how balanced the whole world is and how we can understand ourselves more clearly by understanding concepts laid out in Kim's interesting, first-rate book. If you're into keeping healthy, Compass of Health is a must read!

A new angle into self discovery!

This book is a real page turner! The author explains this "new" approach to self discovery through a personal characteristics check list. I've always been a curious person concerned with self developement and this book is a unique breath of fresh air! It's a different approach for me and worth the investigation of anyone who wants to learn who they are and how to help themselves through the principles mentioned. Very readable and enlightening.

Look East and Get Healthy

Sasang Medicine is not only a healing art for the body it is an art of living a good life. Traditional Eastern Medicine has been around for a long time and has been helping people for a long time. It is well worth your time to read this book and learn about Constitutional Medicine from Dr. Kim.
