Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Fluffy non-specific waste of money
Review: This book is a mushy worthless waste of reading time. I stopped reading after 4 chapters of stuff like, "Now close your eyes and imagine stretching your fingers. Feel the difference. Visualize a butterfly...blablabla"

The "It's not Carpal Tunnel" book was much better; full of stretches and useful advice.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Nobody ever taught you how to sit WELL before ...
Review: This is absolutely THE source on how to sit and work with a computer. You'll find simple guidelines for workstation ergonomics, eg, proper height for monitor, chair, keyboard, etc. -- and how to know when it's right for each individual. Learn to FEEL when your posture is functionally correct, meaning you are using your body efficiently and are not causing yourself a chronic problem such as carpal tunnel. Mr. Linden approaches his subject from a body awareness perspective -- you try simple movements and quickly learn what works and feel it when you've got it. I have also consulted with Mr. Linden, and have found his approach to posture, movement, and body use to be lucid, direct, and incredibly helpful. Don't be intimidated by the amount of information in the book. There are lots of pictures, and it's organized in functional chapters so you can read the parts you need.
