Man's Supreme Inheritance: Conscious Guidance and Control in Relation to Human Evolution (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781163199398)

Man's Supreme Inheritance is a book written by F. Matthias Alexander, which discusses the concept of conscious guidance and control in relation to human evolution. The author argues that humans have the ability to use their conscious mind to guide and control their physical and mental development, leading to greater health, happiness, and success in life. Alexander draws on his own experiences as a teacher of the Alexander Technique, a method of body-mind integration, to illustrate his points and provide practical advice for readers. He also explores the role of education and society in shaping human evolution, and offers insights into how individuals can work towards a more harmonious and fulfilling existence. This book is a classic in the field of mind-body wellness and personal development, and is recommended for anyone interested in exploring the power of conscious awareness and control in their own life.1918.
