Besides being a thorough introduction to the seven operational ideas (principles) of the Technique, it is also a personal account of the changes which can take place as a result of practicing the Technique. The author relates how the Technique can be applied to activities like aikido, writing, running, swimming, juggling and giving speeches. It also contains a brief history of how the Technique has been applied in schools and of the author’s work in the classroom. The 34 additional pages in the new edition cover the semi-supine procedure, answers to commonly-asked questions and the relevance of the Technique to organizational change.
