Simon Brown has created a broad and highly accessible platform by eliminating much of the conceptual dogma and rigidity that has plagued macrobiotics for so many years. He has opened a new front by examining the role that our emotional life plays in terms of overall health. To his credit, he is also unafraid to venture outside the artificial constraints of macrobiotics by citing other bodies of work that can complement ones practice. This book is equally useful for those wanting to launch their own macrobiotic practice and more seasoned practitioners.

GREG JOHNSON, macrobiotic teacher and director of the Concord Institute, London

In Macrobiotics for Life Simon Brown presents macrobiotics from his own perspective as well as the different viewpoints of the major world teachers and what the practice means to them. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about macrobiotics and anyone who has been practicing it for many years. Macrobiotics for Life conveys an open and embracing attitude toward macrobiotics and life in general. Brown is a prolific writer who has once again done an excellent job.
