Book Reviews of Body Learning: An Introduction to the Alexander Technique
Book Review: A MUST for students of the Alexander Technique.
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the two best books I have found to assist one in learning the Alexander Technique (along with Richard Brennan's introductory book). The writing is accessible, frequently penetrating, and precise without being overly technical. Gelb also succeeds in avoiding the two major pitfalls of Alexander books: the esoteric extreme ("Isn't the Technique subtle and complicated? How are you ever going to learn it?!") and the how-to extreme ("Now here's the right way to do A, B, C, etc."). I find it ideal for maintaining a productive "beginner's mind" in my Alexander practice.
