Robert Rickover, an Alexander Technique teacher in Omaha, Nebraska talks with Imogen Ragone, an Alexander Technique teacher in Wilmington, Delaware discuss F. M. Alexander's view of the underlying cause of the narrow focus concentration that is so prevalent today - namely our poor use of ourselves compared to that of "savages and wild animals".  Not an easy topic to talk about but very important if we want to understand Alexander's thought process.
