Author: Lowen, Alexander

One of the world's leading innovators in the field of psychology shows you how to expand and realize your capacity to feel your body's aliveness, natural freedom, and spontaneity.

A more creative life through pleasure is the promise of this revolutionary book. Defining pleasure as "a bodily experience, " Dr. Alexander Lowen states that "there is no such thing as pure mental pleasure " and points out that "the capacity for pleasure is also the capacity for creative self-expression. " In most adults, however, the struggle for power competes with the striving for pleasure, undermines creativity, and causes muscular tensions. Pleasure offers a way out of this dilemma through a series of bioenergetic exercises. These exercises are described in easy-to-follow detail. Their aim is to help the body regain its natural freedom and spontaneity and to release not only pleasure but also joyous creativity.
