The author describes our basic framework (muscle, joints, structure etc.), how it works, and what choices we have in its use. The reader is encouraged through suggested experiments to discover a better use for herself. The book introduces the Technique in non-technical language, without use of traditional terminology, and relying instead on anatomy, physiology and self-observation. Subjects covered include body-image, emotional states, breathing, chairs, RSI, exercises, habit, and fear. It also provides a short, ""traditional"" introduction to the Technique.
