The Elements of Skill: A Conscious Approach to Learning [Audiobook]

Why do so many beginners, both children and adults, fail to master chosen skills? The Elements of Skill was inspired by - and addresses - that question with a program based on proven techniques. The audiobook, created by a renowned practitioner of the Alexander Technique, outlines an educational system that makes the process of learning a performance or athletic skill more conscious and therefore more successful. Its principles include breaking down a skill into manageable parts, setting realistic goals, observing mind/body processes, overcoming blocks, controlling habits, and achieving heightened awareness and self-mastery. Included are inspiring examples of people who have benefited from the method.
