PETER DEADMAN AUTHOR

My work as an author

I co-wrote my first book (Nature’s Foods) way back in 1973. Since then I have co-written an acupuncture textbook (A Manual of Acupuncture) and am sole author of a book on yangsheng – the Chinese nourishment of life tradition (Live Well Live Long) and a forthcoming book on qigong (Qigong: Cultivating body, breath & mind). During lockdown I wrote Finding My Way: Memoirs and Short Stories.

BY PETER DEADMAN

Finding My Way: Memoirs and short stories

The first half of this book is a frank account of my life - from childhood, through my rebellious teenage years, hippie travelling, random jobs, my first career in the natural foods business, my path into Chinese medicine and much more. The second half of the book is made up of a number of short stories, many of which relate tangentially to the memoirs.
