Èmile Coué

Moshe Feldenkrais came into contact with Èmile Coués' book Auto-suggestion during his youth in Tel Aviv and in connection with his severe knee injury.

He was so enthusiastic by what he encountered that he translated the book into Hebrew and supplemented the book with two chapters;
"The unconscious as executor" and "Last in deed, first in thought". 

He publish the book twice, first in 1929-30 at the Binah (Wisdom) publishing house. A second time in 1977 in connection with his second training in San Fransisco. This time at his brother's publishing house, Alef.

For many years, Autosuggestion was a reference point for Moshe Feldenkrais as he continued to develop his work. He mentioned Coué in various aspects of his later publications, including Body and Mature Behavior and Improving the Ability. Both of these books are considered milestones in the development of the Feldenkrais Inquiry

In the first publication, a foreword is written in April 1930 by professor Hugo Bergman, Jerusalem.  In the second publication, a preface is written in February 1977 by Hans and Shulamit Kreitler, psychology professors from Tel Aviv University.

The Kreitler couple founded the department of psychology at Tel Aviv University, the same department where MF gave a series of lectures during the 60s. (not translated).

For many years the two chapters were only available in Hebrew. Most of the pedagogues did not have access to it.
I got a copy sometime after the turn of the century by Yona Postel, Tel Aviv, was fascinated by what I read, and thought it a shame that only the Hebrew-reading public could share these early comments on autosuggestion.

After some persuasion, Robbie Ofir undertook to translate it into English and after many rounds, the completed chapters of Autosuggestion were published in 2013 in a monograph under the name Thinking and doing.
