| Abstract | This book connects physical posture and movement to mental faculties, suggesting that changes in our physical "use" can lead to insights in how we think, make decisions, and gain confidence. It uses personal stories and essays to illustrate how the principles of the Alexander Technique can be applied to daily life, from activities like cycling and playing a musical instrument to more personal experiences like childbirth and grief. |
