THE MILLION COPY NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, FEATURING NEW MATERIAL

"I highly recommend this book." —Wim Hof

“A fascinating scientific, cultural, spiritual and evolutionary history of the way humans breathe—and how we’ve all been doing it wrong for a long, long time.” —Elizabeth Gilbert

"This book is amazing. “ Joe Rogan

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 well-being than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat twenty-five thousand times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences.

Journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren’t found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of São Paulo. Nestor tracks down men and women exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo and teams up with pulmonary tinkerers to scientifically test long-held beliefs about how we breathe.

Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can jump-start athletic performance; rejuvenate internal organs; halt snoring, asthma, and autoimmune disease; and even straighten scoliotic spines. None of this should be possible, and yet it is.

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. You will never breathe the same again.

I appreciated everything after the forth Chapter so much! Even the thank you at the end were inspiring to listen to. I was referred to your book through Mark Rashid's books on horsemanship, specifically Nature in Horsemanship.

I loved your informative stories! Your own studies and experiences were so relatable! I also loved hearing the hard work others have put in, and being informed of so many amazing studies.

Such a great book once you get through how and why humans lungs and sinuses are the way they are. That part of the science is a little more faith based in my opinion. Thankfully it didnt cheapen my opinion of the writing to much, and I continued on!

The rest of the book was life changing...so helpful for my healing journey! Thank you!

I needed to be honest about the beginning though ,that's what I'd want🥰

Blessings
Tania

Brilliant and immediately useful information! How did we humans stray so far from our breath? James Nestor delves into understanding how our evolution and habits changed the way we breathe. Based on years of research, consultation, and experimentation...he summarizes with simple, straightforward steps,
to bring us back to our breath and its healing power.

Shut. Your. Mouth.
