I don’t know anything about it. But just looking at this photo[1] it looks like some hipster bullshit. Gokhale’s techniques deal purely with posture and are immensely useful just to avoid or reduce any back pain. It’s just a way to sit or sleep while keeping straight upright posture effortlessly for long periods of time. I can probably explain the sitting techniques to someone in about 15 minutes and ignore the other 80% of the book and still improve their life in a significant way. I recommend the book because it has decent pictures and shows historical examples of proper posture. Everything she shows looks like a natural position for a human to be in, very much unlike whatever’s going on in that picture. Anyway like I said it’s more about where YOU are consciously. Are you in your head thinking or are you in the moment just walking and looking at the world around you. The posture etc. follows that, you don’t have to actively think about it. That’s why the meme in question selects it as a signal for confidence. Furthermore, you have peripheral vision and your brain constantly inspects and maps your surroundings. It will not let you trip over things if you just look ahead. EDIT: Also I don’t know what the Wikipedia editors are smoking. The references for that “incorrect” statement are a complete joke. Gokhale actually provides ample evidence for this assertion in the book if you want to check it yourself.
