About this listen

Drawing on ancient Chinese wisdom and Five Element philosophy

'I loved this book - funny, fascinating and scarcely believable if I hadn't experienced such a dramatic boost in my own heath from Gerad's treatments.' - RUPERT EVERETT

"At the heart of Gerad Kite's philosophy is his fervent belief that we need to get back in tune with the human body's natural cycle. Only then will we discover the true path to health and happiness." -The Daily Mail

At the age of twenty-seven, Gerad suffered a life-altering breakdown. When conventional treatments failed to help, he sought an alternative solution and immersed himself in the teachings of ancient Chinese philosophy and acupuncture. According to this system of medicine, we are all made up of the five elements of Nature (wood, fire, earth, metal, water). When they are in balance, we thrive; when they are not, chaos ensues. Sceptical at first, but desperate to feel well, Gerad took a leap of faith—one that was to open his eyes to a new way of being.


In this remarkable book, Gerad, now a master in Five Element acupuncture, recounts the stories of ten patients who, like him, were searching for a way to heal themselves. Allowing us to sit in on their therapy sessions, he explores their extraordinarily varied and complex life experiences and challenges all our modern assumptions about what it takes to find happiness and fulfilment.

These fascinating case studies explain the very essence of what is to be human—loves and losses, struggles and triumphs—and offer a transformative path to healing and renewal.
