With pleasure, life is a creative adventure; without pleasure, it is a struggle for survival. For most adults the struggle for power competes with the striving for pleasure, undermines creativity, and causes muscular tensions. Dr. Alexander Lowen offers a way out of this dilemma. Defining pleasure as a bodily experience - "there is no such thing as pure mental pleasure" - he offers a series of bioenergetic exercises, each outlined in easy-to-follow detail, which can help your body regain its natural freedom and spontaneity. The result is a release of both pleasure and a joyous creativity.
