The world famous classic by the originator of the Alexander Technique, with a new perspective by Anthony Kingsley. Frederick Matthias Alexander was born in Tasmania in 1869. In his twenties, he became a professional reciter of dramatic pieces. After almost completely losing his voice he pioneered a method of improving the 'use' of his body musculature in all positions and movements and cured his vocal problems without medical aid. Alexander then realised that most people stood, sat and moved in a defective manner and that incorrect 'use of the self' might be the cause of much human suffering. He moved to London and established a school, publishing several books and achieving success, with recommendations from famous contemporaries such as Aldous Huxley and Sir Stafford Cripps. Alexander died in 1955 but his 'principle' lives on through the work of many teachers of his method.

The Alexander Technique is world famous for helping posture and back pain, but that's the tip of the iceberg. As Peter Nobes argues in this passionate book, it is actually a great deal more than that. It will show you how to do everything effortlessly - mind and body - and make you look good, stay youthful, and come across better. It has more in common with Zen, Existentialism and Stoicism than it does with the yoga and Pilates that many people associate it with - it's more about thinking than about bodies. It will teach you how to be more conscious and make new choices; how to be your authentic self, living in the here-and-now. It will help you develop a body so light you will barely know it's there, and a more conscious mind - it's how to be mindful in three dimensions.
