4.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction to the writings of F. M. Alexander, 16 Jul 1998

By A Customer

Several years ago I discovered the Alexander Technique, found a teacher, and got rid of my chronic back pain. The man who dseveloped the Technique, F.M. Alexander, always seemed a mystery to me, particularly after I tried reading his books. This book is an edited version of Alexander's writing that makes them a lot easier to read. It also has a very informative introduction that puts Alexander and his Technique in historical perspective.

I'd suggest this book primarily for people who have some familiarity with the Technique. For a good short introduction I'd get Fitness Without Stress by Robert Rickover.

4.0 out of 5 stars The cream of 4 books on mind-body integration, 17 Aug 1997

By A Customer

Got a hurting back or evil golf or tennis swing you can't get rid of? F.M. Alexander found a way to change bad body use and this book describes what it means and how it was discovered. No, reading the book won't cure you. You'll need Alexander lessons, but it will tell you what it's all about. The editor wrote a fine background introduction as well as made an excellent selection from Alexander's books. Just as important, he included three prefaces by John Dewey, the famous educator and philosopher, and also scientific research on the technique. The technique is more than some body process. It really teaches a Western Zen approach towards all kinds of life problems. Sound strange? Read this book. I'm very grateful I had Alexander lessons and the wisdom it teaches. Highly recommended.
