Great Anthology

Heckler put together a beautiful anthology focusing on the role the body plays in a variety of different fields. Some of the essays were a bit too newagish for my taste, but overall the quality was very high. My main complaint is not with what is in the book but in what is out. In particular, I'm disappointed that Heckler did not include in this anthology an essay by Mr. Bolelli, a writer who published a book about philosophy and martial arts with the same publishing company. In Bolelli's book, On the Warrior's Path, he thanks Heckler in the acknowledgments so they obviously know each other, and one of the chapters of Bolelli's book is one of the best essays I have ever read on the role of the body in shaping our awareness. Too bad, because it would have worked well here. In any case, despite this, Heckler put together a brilliant anthology on a very interesting topic.

An interesting anthology of writers exploring somatics in a variety of setting including work and educational settings. Dr. Strozzi Heckler has compiled a great team of writers. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in somatics, coaching, OD work and/or psychotherapy.
