The Alexander Technique: A Skill for Life

In this book the Author does not go deeply in the physical aspects of the Alexander technique(AT) as some other books may but he does go deeply in the AT approach, exploring and describing its principles in depth with his decades of experience and makes some specific recommendations for further study as well. An enjoyable read.

Alexander was one of those geniuses like Einstein that thought outside the box.He refined his technique which was discovered by accident while he was an actor and lost his voice due to unnecessary movements and tensions of his muscles.Alexander technique is used to train pilots of military aircraft, ballerinas, musicians and sports people to take care of their body and mind properly. It is very successful and effective.

This book is mostly boring annecdotes about the author and a little theory. It has NO practical information or images demonstrating the technique itself. Basically it reiterates our parents commands to sit and stand up straight. Don't waste you money and find a teacher instead.

Was expecting diagrams and very few couldn't understand the book

a good start for AT
