So much talk about Alexander technique - but no content! Everywhere you would expect to find some specifics all you get is an "ask your Alexander instructor". A complete waste of money.

I'm pretty sure Richard Craze has ruffled a few feathers amongst the Society of Alexander teachers by writing this book. But it is simply brilliant. he has set out to make freely available to everyone what Alexander taught. And he has done a very fine job indeed. This book is a very very good introduction to the Alexander technique but it also goes a whole lot further. Craze has written a fabulous book for anyone who wants to improve their body posture. He has revealed secrets and put the cat in with the pidgeons indeed. Simply brilliant.

As the Alexander Technique requires the hands-on contact from a qualified teacher the premise of "teaching yourself" from a book is utterly mistaken. Books can serve as an introduction to the concepts of the Technique, but can never replace the necessity for a teacher. Craze's book is unfortunately not even a good introduction, written by a serial book churner with seemingly no real knowledge of the Technique. Of course everyone wants a quick fix and people get very frustrated and often angry when told they can't learn the Alexander Technique from a book, from the internet or by correspondence course, but this symptom of modern living - the desire for the end result NOW without thought for the process is one of the fundamental problems the Technique seeks to help you overcome! Do yourself a favour - ignore this poor-quality book and go and find a teacher. If you want a good book on the Technique there are some out there.
