Mouritz description: 

Thinking Aloud is a serious exploration of the Alexander Technique that goes beyond the standard introductions to this educational method.

Walter Carrington condenses 50 years of teaching into 25 straightforward essays on all aspects of the Alexander Technique. The book was originally designed for teachers and teachers-in-training, but has proven popular with those readers interested in learning more about this approach to changing habitual behavior.

In Thinking Aloud, Walter Carrington takes a commonsense approach to the most commonplace of problems - the ways we use ourselves in daily life. He also has a remarkable ability to communicate complex ideas in an accessible way to teachers and students alike. The fundamental ways we think and function in daily life are the true subjects of Thinking Aloud.

Publisher Description: 

For almost 50 years, in his daily talks, Walter Carrington shared his thoughts, observations and experiences of the Alexander Technique with teachers and students at his teachers training course.

Walter Carrington was not only renowned for his hands-on teaching skills but also for his remarkable ability to communicate complex ideas in an accessible way to teachers and students alike. Though each of these talks was delivered in the context of an Alexander Technique teacher training course, the reader will find that their relevance reaches far beyond the confines of a specific professional training program. The fundamental ways we think and function in daily life are the true subjects of this book.

"People imagine that their bodies are disobedient and unreliable in carrying out their wishes, whereas nothing could be further from the truth."
Walter Carrington
