About this title

Synopsis

This book will have you break free of all stress and glide among people like a feather carried by a gentle breeze.

It reveals the technique used by many actors and performers, like Keanu Reeves and Sting, to always seem comfortable and confident. How to break habits, conquer stage-fright, maintain a healthy posture, and look attractive all the time? All questions answered in this display of The Alexander Technique, still taught today, a century after its introduction.

It's a routine that can be learned and applied by anyone. It teaches how to gain conscious control over movement and breath, eliminating physical pains and persistent fatigue.

"Every man, woman, and child holds the possibility of physical perfection."

Instead of common methods, like medication or therapy, Fredrick Alexander aims to improve the quality of life by creating better conditions for the body.

"I look to that wonderful instrument, the human body, for the true solution of our difficulty," he writes.

Although Alexander's methods were unprecedented, they continue to be one of the most used among elite communities, and this book hands them to you in their original, untainted quality.

"I know that I shall be regarded in many quarters as a revolutionary and a heretic, for my theory and practice, though founded on a principle as old as the life of man, are not in accord with, nor even a development of, the tradition which still obtains."
