In 1948, Dr Paul Lam's mother left him in the care of his grandmother in China. Ten months old at the time, Dr Lam grew up under the cruel Communist regime of Mao Zedong and nearly perished during the Great Famine. After escaping from China, studying in Hong Kong, and finally settling in Australia, Dr Lam won a scholarship to study medicine.
Malnutrition left Dr Lam with severe osteoarthritis. He found that tai chi not only helped him manage the condition but the ancient practice improved every aspect of his life. Dr Lam's burning passion to help others led him to create the Tai Chi for Health programs, where he combined his Western and Chinese medical knowledge with modern teaching methods. More than five million people worldwide practice his Tai Chi for Health programs.
'The Tai Chi Way' is Dr Lam's story, told with passion and vivid detail to encourage people to remember that no matter how desperate things can seem in one's lie, there is always hope. With hard work and love you can overcome almost anything.

The Tai Chi Way is my favorite way
Paul, many thanks for taking the time to put this book together. I found the shorter chapters about your life (I have read Born Strong) a good reminder of what you have been through and overcome. The relevant Tai Chi message at the end of each chapter will be an ongoing source of material for me to share with my participants at the lessons I teach. Especially during the difficult times we are going through with the COVID-19 outbreak, Tai Chi practice has been my lifeline. Thank you for introducing me to the world of Tai Chi.
