Best introductory text for the Alexander Technique,
By jacky morgan (uk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Whatever You're Doing Now You Can Do It Better!: Your Guide to the Alexander Technique (Paperback)
In my opinion there are only two books worth reading about Alexander's work other than those written by the man himself, and Anthony Taylor's book is one of them.It has helped my students understand the principles of this work and enabled them to make changes in the way that they think and therefore the way that they move.

very impressed,
By Simon Saunders "Simon" (Edinburg) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Whatever You're Doing Now You Can Do It Better!: Your Guide to the Alexander Technique (Paperback)
I liked this book. I had thought the Alexander technique was all about posture, when in fact it's all about performance - the way that we do what we do. There are some great stories in this book which I have enjoyed reading again and again.The author clearly knows his stuff and how to write. Having read many books about change and the Alexander Technique this has to go down as one my favourites. I recommend it to anyone looking to change deep-seated patterns of behaviour that are undermining their performance in any field.

excellent introductory book,
By A teacher from Cardiff "Daisy Chain" (Cardiff, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Whatever You're Doing Now You Can Do It Better!: Your Guide to the Alexander Technique (Paperback)
Taylor succeeds in giving you a handle on some complex ideas. Deals with tricky but key concepts in an accessible but not simplistic way. Particularly liked the chapters on reasoning and working to principle. There are no physical exercizes to do, but there are activities which are helpful towards your understanding.The only truly accessible but not-oversimplified book on AT I've found. An AT teacher from Cardiff.
