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.

In Breath, journalist James Nestor travels the world to discover the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it.

Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can:

  • improve our exercise techniques
  • restore healthy sleep patterns and minimise snoring
  • halt allergies, asthma and even autoimmune disease

Drawing on thousands of years of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge studies, Breath is full of revelations, turning what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head.

You will never breathe the same again.

Review This Product

Lives up to the hype

Fri, 12 Aug 2022 | Review by: Rod S.

It's not often that a book lives up to all the hype shouted from the covers, but this one does. As much as we all think breathing is obvious and there is no need for 'experts' to lecture us on it, this book can actually change your body and your mind by changing the way you breathe. it's a revelation, just read it!
