2.0 out of 5 stars An introduction that is unsatisfying, Sep 12 2000
By A Customer
I don't recommend this book if you want to learn anything at all about how this technique is actually practiced. The impression one gets from the book is that apparently only Alexander himself and a few other self-interested "disciples" (read: current Alexander school directors) are intellectually talented and/or physiologically gifted enough to learn this magical technique and teach others, so you are left still wondering at the end of the book what the point was of reading it in the first place.

5.0 out of 5 stars for beginners and advanced, Mar 22 2002
By Rocannon MacGregor "zenfire" (Glendale, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I find myself referring to this book again and again. I always recommend it as an introduction to the Alexander technique. It assisted me greatly when I was first taking Alexander lessons. It is still valuable years later as I refresh and review. Easy to read, entertaining, cogent, and reflective. It reads almost as though you were having conversation with Mr. Gelb. If I had to use one book to introduce a new person to the Alexander technique, theory and understanding, this would be the one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Body Learning - Gelb, Jan 12 2001
By A Customer
I am a music major, and I am now in my third semester studying the Alexander Technique. This study has been the most important event in my musical life, and thankfully, it carries over into every other aspect of my life, as well. This book is the required reading for the course. Not that we get a grade on it. It's just immensely helpful. It's not a substitute for a trained Alexander teacher, but it provides another view point, a new way of putting things, of phrasing things, and can help the early AT student grasp the concept of it all a little better. I highly recommend this book to anyone wishing to learn more about the Alexander Technique, and improving the quality of your life.

The other intro book at this level is Chris Stevens' "Alexander Technique."

Gelb's book is clearly written and easy to understand - something much needed with the Alexander Technique as there is so much mis-information about it around. Read more
