I have the book with me, but I am unable to recall when I purchased it. And I fear I may have read just the first paragraph of the introduction. How then did I rediscover Michael J. Gelb? First, let me finish reading the book :-)

Regards,

Selvaraj

'What is the Alexander Technique and how can it help me?' I have heard this question hundreds of times since I myself first asked it in 1972.

The above quote is from the book 'Body Learning' by Michael J. Gelb, first published in 1981. The book also acknowledge that:

In Alexander's own words: 'We are only at the beginning of understanding'.
