Publisher's Synopsis
Man's Supreme Inheritance: Conscious Guidance and Control in Relation to Human Evolution is a book written by F. Matthias Alexander. The book explores the concept of conscious guidance and control in relation to human evolution. Alexander argues that humans have the ability to control their own evolution through conscious thought and action. He explains how this can be achieved through developing a heightened awareness of one's own body and mind, and through the practice of specific techniques designed to improve physical and mental functioning. The book also delves into the relationship between physical and mental health, and how conscious control can lead to a more balanced and harmonious life. Overall, Man's Supreme Inheritance is a thought-provoking exploration of the power of conscious thought and its potential to shape human evolution.1918. Contents Part I.
