“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, author of Big Magic and Eat Pray Love)
No matter your diet, exercise routine, weight, age, or wisdom, none of it matters if you’re not breathing correctly.
Breathing is essential to our health and well-being: inhale, exhale, and repeat 25,000 times a day. Yet, humans have lost the ability to breathe properly, with serious consequences. Journalist James Nestor travels the world to uncover what went wrong and how to fix it. Surprisingly, the answers aren’t in pulmonology labs but in ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the polluted streets of São Paulo.
Nestor explores the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo, and collaborates with pulmonary experts to test long-held beliefs about breathing.
Modern research shows that even slight adjustments to our breathing can enhance athletic performance, rejuvenate internal organs, stop snoring, asthma, and autoimmune diseases, and even straighten scoliotic spines. It seems impossible, yet it’s true.
Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology, Breath challenges our conventional understanding of this basic biological function. You will never breathe the same way again.
