Breathing is an essential part of our lives and I couldn’t have imagined that you could do anything wrong about it. This was until I got Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art by James Nestor recommended from by brother. The book covers every detail of breathing including how to inhale and exhale as well as how mouth-breathing affects your health in a negative way.
It is not only based on recent discoveries but displays how human breathing has changed over the past centuries. Furthermore, the author takes you on a journey on which he experiments with different breathing techniques, be it for the good or bad.
The book is written in an exciting manner making it smooth and easy to read through. If you want to re-read how to apply a certain technique, you do not need to revisit the exact pages but can have a look at the end of the book, where a separate chapter gives you an overview of all described techniques plus detailed instructions.
Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art is a definite recommendation for all people, who are interested in the human body, those suffering from breathing issues, and everyone, who would like to live a healthier life.
