Re: Relaxation

And I wholly agree. I would never recommend something solely on the basis that someone else has, but here's the situation.

Someone has a problem, and they are looking for the best (and probably only one) solution. That person has never studied on the subject (the subject being relieving stress barriers, not music in general).

In this case scenario, I know this as truth:

1. I have read the book, and it has furthered my growth.
2. It is recommended by music professionals, both through university and private study
3. It has helped collegues of mine with similar problems

I am not saying that this book is the only book you'll ever need, or even the best book (although I do think it is the best book) for the problem. But the "Zen" way of thinking (and by the way this book goes far beyond a religious text) was somewhat discreditted above, and considering the effect this book has had on countless performers, I felt it necessary to reaffirm that this book is one of the best first choices when it comes to facing problems created by emotion and stress.
