Story
Sleep is one of the most important aspects of our life, health and longevity and yet it is increasingly neglected in 21st century society, with devastating consequences: every major disease in the developed world - Alzheimer's, cancer, obesity, diabetes - has very strong causal links to deficient sleep. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why its absence is so damaging to our health. Compared to the other basic drives in life - eating, drinking and reproducing - the purpose of sleep remained elusive.

How was it that young people he knew at home, who had food, shelter, friends and a loving family, struggled with their mental health, while these kids seemed so contented and resilient?

This is a boring book about RUNNING
- By Jules on 17-02-2020
Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin. Narrated by James Nestor.
There is nothing more essential to our health and wellbeing than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat 25,000 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, Brazil. 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, allergies, 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.
Critic Reviews
"A transformative book that changes how you think about your body and mind." (Josua Foer, author of Moonwalking with Einstein)
"Who would have thought something as simple as changing the way we breathe could be so revolutionary for our health, from snoring to allergies to immunity? A fascinating book, full of dazzling revelations." (Dr Rangan Chatterjee)
"I highly recommend this book." (Wim Hof)

this book has changed my life!
I finally managed to get restful sleep over many years, while tracking my sleep with Oura ring and sleeping in perfect condition at 18C, 40% humidity, having fixed bedtime and wake-up, without eating anything prior sleeping for 3 hours and dimming the lights and blocking out all the blue wavelengths, eating healthy and having very fit body I still had a very low restfulness score, tossing and turning throughout the night! Just by applying simple hack of taping middle of my lips shut with a postmark sized tape piece I woke up in the morning completely recovered and full of energy and enthusiasm which I last felt many years ago, and breathing through the nose in the morning has never felt better. Thank you again for this masterpiece. If there is one book to improve your health and wellbeing this is it.

great book if you have anxiety or sleep problems
Have been struggling with bad sleep for a few years now which I was aware was coming from stress/ anxiety. When I'm stressed i feel a tightness in the chest and it's been such a relief to find a book with a great story, information, narration, and very practical advice on reversing that tight anxious, out of breath feeling which also was ruining my sleep. Many thanks for this book James Nestor

Fundamental and fascinating
An excellent book based on research, self-experimentation, insight and a dash of self-deprecating humour. The benefits of breathing through your nose and the detriments of mouth breathing couldn't be clearer. Every breath I take... this book is watching me... and I can already feel the benefits. Great work James Nestor!

Excellent insight - breathe only through your nose
The anthropological research is fascinating. The book gives an excellent analysis and practical suggestions for improving our quality of life through better breathing habits. In short, learn to breathe slowly, deeply, only through the nose, and try for some breaks between the inhale and exhale as well. There are numerous variations to experiment with, to find what suits you best and in what context.

Great book for complementing health practices.
James Nestor does a great job in explaining his own experiences with breathing as well as the history and science behind different breathing practices.
Personally, I'm constantly looking for new methods and good habits to incorporate in my life, so this book will help me to improve one of the many areas I might be neglecting.
The breathing practices in the final section is worthwhile because there is someone guiding you through the excersices, so better doing the audiobook format.

Interesting but falls short
This was a really interesting book and I will search more of James online. I’ve listened 3 times. Unfortunately it doesn’t deliver on the helpful. Apart from mouth taping and wearing nasal strips to open the nostrils at night which I am now doing, there are few take away. I’m now doing Wim Hof breathing but new about this before buying this book. Anders tells how to do various breathing methods at the end of the book, but you are still left wondering...

Fascinating!! A factual awaking of the science of breath.
I have suffered from a blocked nose all my life! Which is why I was drawn to this book(after watching James’ TED Talk).
I am an active 52 year old, working in the health & fitness field for 34 years now, so the art of breathing has always been a keen subject to me. ‘Breath’ is such an eye opener to the world of the science of breathing that I feel anyone one with an interest in the subject should definitely read it.
The manner in which James has narrated the book, makes it a delightful listen, even to the lay person, who would just be inquisitive above breathing.
Thoroughly enjoyed the book! Would definitely encourage everyone to read it.

A detailed and insightful look into breathing
A detailed and insightful look into breathing.
This book taught me a lot that I didn’t know and I’m already starting to put into practice some of its advice.
The eight you are left with make you question the length of the book and, although some of the stories surrounding the tips are interesting, other ones drag and feel repetitive.
This meant it was a bit of a struggle at times to commit to.
A good book and it is useful, although I’m left feeling that I could have for the same insight from a 2000 word article.

This was really interesting. I thought I already knew a lot about breathing, I’ve been meditating a while & doing Taoist breathing techniques. This was interesting, well written & comprehensive. The techniques at the end was a nice touch & definitely make this one to get on audible rather than paper.

Light on content, heavy on anecdote
I found it laboured and overly padded with too much narration of the author's personal interactions. Thankfully the last chapter provides some actual breathing techniques.

The power of your breath... and tonnes of interesting things you didn’t know.
As a yoga teacher, I am familiar with many of the techniques discussed in this book. The author presents them here (in the audible version) in a really accessible and interesting way. I’ve learned much about the historical investigations into the power of breathing and our evolution as a species... and the wonderful anecdotes and personal stories throughout are most engaging. I thoroughly recommend this book (even if you think you know all about breath techniques already) the passion and curiosity of the author and his cohorts is palpable!

Informative and could be life changing information
This is an absolutely fascinating book. The author did a huge amount of research and I'd guess many will be amazed at how many things are connected to the way we breathe, such as blood pressure, bone density, our facial structure, snoring, allergies, hypertension, psoriasis, asthma, crooked teeth...
The explanations of some those things made so much sense and I liked the suggestions provided on how to go about remedying some of those issues in a way that costs nothing but time and effort.
Am about to start reading for a second time to truly take it all in.

Listen to it!
Simply incredible. Very enjoyable to listen to. I don't normally like American audiobooks (sorry) but this kept me engaged and his voice was continuously comforting. Beyond that, it's just a fascinating book. The simple breathing exercises have already helped me control my lifelong anxiety and I can calm myself down in a matter of seconds. I've changed the way I breathe, and it's changed the way I feel. Highly recommended.

Researched based but hated authors impersonations
The book itself is great. Very educational and I loved that it is research and fact based. It taught me a lot about stress and anxiety.
However, the authors impersonations of the people he interviewed from doctors to medical subjects sounded like he was a Californian stoner, surfer dude. He was all but short of saying ‘it’s totally raaaaaad duuuude’. So you can just imagine when he is quote a French woman in that voice how it would be extremely annoying!
Breath Aileen breath!

Fantastic book!
Great book with different types of breathwork traditionally practised around the world. Don’t skip to the breathing techniques at the end, get the full benefit and enjoyment from a well written book!
