STAT News - Journal of the Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique - January 2000
This is a substantial book... clear, lively and well expressed... does not settle lazily for the easy oversimplification... will repay careful reading and re-reading and enrich your understanding... I recommend it to anyone who wants to understand more about how the bodymind works and how its functioning can be improved.

VIGoureus - Journal of VIG, the Flemish Institute for Health Promotion - March 2000
This book is strongly recommended to all those concerned with physical education, and to anyone who understands that we cannot misuse our bodies with impunity. By helping us to deal with ourselves in a way that respects the natural functioning of the body, and thus teaching us how many physical problems can be avoided, this book certainly has a place in health promotion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for those who care about themselves, 17 Sep 2000

By A Customer

It is almost 30 years since I had my first lesson in the F.M. Alexander Technique. My teacher was Elizabeth Langford; author of 'Mind and Muscle'. Reading this book, I am reminded of her clarity as a teacher, her sense of humour and the inspiration she gave me to become an Alexander Teacher myself. Few will have the good fortune to pass through such expert hands. Nevertheless, in the absence of an Alexander Teacher, careful study of 'Mind and Muscle' could take the reader a long way towards a better 'use of the self'. Anyone not wanting to allow their body to fall into disrepair should buy this book tomorrow!

A concise, well structured, immensely readable book, well illustrated. The author knows her subject, how to write about it and yet remain incredibly human at the same time A practical book and excellent read - particularly for back pain sufferers, buy it and read it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Learn about yourself, 22 Mar 2000

By A Customer

An amazing discovery of ourselves, how we work and some experiments to make with our muscles, bones and mind. Well written in every day language with a hint of PG Woodhouse style in the background. This book is well documented, with many references to scientific medical books.
