Breath – The New Science Of A Lost Art – James Nestor

You will never breathe the same again once you’ve read this book.

No matter what you eat, how much you exercise, how skinny or young or wise you are, none of it matters if you’re not breathing properly.

There is nothing more essential to our health and wellbeing than breathing : take air in, let it out, repeat 25,000 times a day. Yet as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences.

Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry and human physiology, “Breath” turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head.
