What Mr Searby does is give a clear explanation of what he understands the technique to be, and the supporting photos and quotations are well chosen.

Inspirational and accessible - this book makes you want to try something new. Joe Searby's new book is refreshingly easy to follow, doesn't take forever, makes you think, makes you read on, and makes you want to try lessons in the Alexander Technique. The layout is colourful and user friendly, and the succinct chapters are peppered with inspirational quotes. A must have for all interested in reading about how to improve general health and well-being.
