This book has some really good tidbits, but he wants you to read the whole thing in order and it is very, very long. It covers avoiding systemic causes of being sedentary and loosening up muscle tissue, but nothing on strengthening and stretching postural muscles which is a puzzling omission. I hope he revisits this topic and writes something much shorter yet more comprehensive.

This is a super comprehensive book and was too much to get through on a limited library loan period, but I do recommend it for anyone who is looking to realign their bodies and get healthier from the inside out!

Lots of great information about the dangers of sitting for long periods, as many office workers do. Though I'm familiar already with these risks and have used a standing desk for many years, I'm not as mobile as I should be and have lost some flexibility. Dr. Starrett gives some great tips for putting mobility back into your workday and to regain suppleness of your spine, muscles and joints.

I really enjoyed this book. It's changed the way I approach my body and it's capacities. There is a lot of adjustment and work to realise the benefits this book illustrates, but I'm already feeling better and looking forward to read more from the author

Thanks to Erin Mullaney for recommending this. I agree that anyone who sits at a desk should read this. It was worth it just to learn how to stand properly without getting tired. I had to return it to the library before I got to follow any of the"exercise prescriptions" but I'd like to try them sometime.

Wish I read this ages ago and that these principles were taught in phys.ed as a kid and again as a young adult. Could save heaps of people from painful lives.
