About the author

Before being a publisher Richard was a full time writer with over 60 books published on a wide range of subjects including business, astrology, alternative medicine, Chinese culture, sex and humour (not all in any one book though). Before being a writer - although that was what he always wanted to do - he did many jobs including being a casino general manger, business consultant, cave guide and stress management consultant (again never all at one time).

His first book for his own publishing company – The Voice of Tobacco - came out in September 2003. It is Richard's own journal of giving up smoking.
He wrote Out Of Your Townie Mind which was published in May 2004 and it guides the townie through their dream of escaping to the countryside.

Reviews

[Aslı Can]

Türkçe e-kitap versiyonunu okudum. Kitap temelde beden farkındalığı geliştirmenin yollarını anlatıyor diyebilirim. Beden farkındalığı geliştirerek de beden anatomisine uygun hareketi araştırmayı tavsiye ediyor kitap. Bedeni(ki zihin de buna dahil) biraz daha yakından tanımak isteyenlere önerebilirim aslında, temel bilgileri basitçe ve gayet güzel organize edilmiş bir şekilde aktarıyor.

[Dean Paradiso · Rating 4 out of 5]

Excellent introduction and primer on Alexander Technique and its relation to back care. Also includes some very useful and easy to understand exercises and experiments. Very readable and enjoyable.

Easy read about why and how to do the Alexander Technique to improve posture and reduce back pain.

A good primer on the Alexander technique but the reader will probably have to turn to videos or other support for full understanding.
