Journalist James Nestor shares his quest to improve his breathing along with the research, medical history, biochemistry, physiology, and modern practices that implore us to make adjustments in the way we inhale and exhale today. It is an interesting and quick read that could help you to improve your health and well-being.
“No matter what we eat, how much we exercise, how resilient
our genes are, how skinny or young or wise we are—none of it will matter unless
we’re breathing correctly” (p. xix).
There are three parts to the book. Part One: The Experiment,
Part Two: The Lost Art and Science of Breathing, and Part Three: Breathing+.
