Breath BY James Nestor

Breath is a compelling and accessible work of science journalism that has fundamentally changed how many people think about a basic bodily function. It makes a powerful case that by relearning how to breathe—primarily through our noses, slowly and less—we can unlock a simple, free, and profoundly effective tool to improve our physical and mental health.

The ultimate takeaway is a paradigm shift: Breathing is not just an automatic function to keep us alive; it is a voluntary act we can master to live better.
