The book that introduced the Alexander Technique to the world, USE OF THE SELF is a landmark in biomechanics and anatomy studies. Alexander Technique (AT) is a systematic approach to easing freedom of movement, balance, and coordination through reeducating the body and mind to work in harmony. Born in 1869, F.M. Alexander was an actor in early life who, due to vocal strains, taught himself to listen to his body and scrutinize his movements. He found that by simply altering his stance and being conscious of his head positioning, he could decrease strain in his throat and back, giving him the ability to speak without pain. The success he found with his new technique led to the publication of this book. Unlike other books on the Alexander Technique, USE OF THE SELF offers more contemplative and insightful thinking regarding the intellectual, emotional, and creative aspects of the technique and fewer instructions for movement. Serious readers with an interest in AT will be amply rewarded.
