Product Description
Review
"The heritage of Moshe Feldenkrais proves its mettle year by year, as his original vision takes root among the thousands of practitioners and students who carry his method forward. His often brilliant turns of mind are scattered among a handful of books left to posterity. "The Potent Self" is one of the most important."
--Don Hanlon Johnson, Professor of Somatics, California Institute of Integral Studies; editor of "Groundworks and Bone, Breath, and Gesture"
"The radical roots of Moshe Feldenkrais' Method are clearly apparent in this book, displaying how his work evolved from his concerns about the deleterious effect of family and society upon the growth and development of human beings. Mark Reese's new Foreword beautifully traces the historical and cultural context in which the book came about, and brings to life the current relevance of Feldenkrais' thinking of fifty years ago. "The Potent Self" is still potent. It is well worth reading and rereading."
--Carl Ginsburg, Ph.D., Feldenkrais Trainer
"Moshe Feldenkrais has created a towering body of knowledge. There is no other theory or practice that delves so knowingly and deeply into the relationship between the body, its reflexes, its habitual levels of muscular tension, and gravity. Feldenkrais [is] as seminal to somatics as Freud was to psychology."
--Robert Shaw, M.D., Medical Director, The Family Institute of Berkeley, CA
Product Description
This title explains the theory behind the revolutionary Feldenkrais Method and offers a perspective on how we can achieve maximum happiness and productivity. The book explores the key factor of human resistance to self-transformation. Feldenkrais shows how the past can form the building blocks for a creative future, providing insights into compulsion, resistance, motivation, habit formation, maturity, mental and physical and the place of sex in developing full human potential.
