Breath: The new science of a lost art

"Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art" by James Nestor

The book begins by investigating the lost art of proper breathing and how modern humans have deviated from the natural and efficient ways of breathing that our ancestors practiced.

Nestor explores various breathing techniques and the impact of breathing on physical and mental well-being. He draws on scientific research, interviews with experts, and his own experiences to present a compelling argument for reevaluating and optimizing our breathing habits.

Throughout the book, Nestor discusses the importance of nasal breathing, the role of breath in various health conditions, and the potential benefits of mindful breathing practices. He also explores historical and cultural perspectives on breathing, taking readers on a journey through ancient breathing practices and their potential applications in contemporary life.

Nestor's "Breath" aims to raise awareness about the significance of proper breathing for overall health and encourages readers to reconsider their breathing habits to improve various aspects of their lives.
