Absolutely fascinating and eye-opening。 So many studies cited on how proper breathing can help everything from asthma to scoliosis。 As an asthma sufferer， I'm already noticing results from making an effort to breathe properly。 Highly recommended reading。 Helpful links and breathing exercises are listed at the end。 Some parts were difficult for me， as I recently lost my father to Covid。 He literally ran out of breath。 I can't help but wonder if he would have had a better chance to survive， if he Absolutely fascinating and eye-opening。 So many studies cited on how proper breathing can help everything from asthma to scoliosis。 As an asthma sufferer， I'm already noticing results from making an effort to breathe properly。 Highly recommended reading。 Helpful links and breathing exercises are listed at the end。 Some parts were difficult for me， as I recently lost my father to Covid。 He literally ran out of breath。 I can't help but wonder if he would have had a better chance to survive， if he had been able to increase his lung capacity prior to contracting it in the hospital， where he was being treated for a gallbladder infection。 I'm sharing this book with my mother， in the hopes it may help her with some of her chronic issues， as well as her grief。 Proper， deep breathing is definitely helping me with mine。 。。。more

"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence，" and I'm not sure this book is the evidence， yet。 Very interesting， and a lot of the stuff makes some sense and seems physiologically plausible （like breathing through the nose and developing CO2 tolerance）。 Some of the other stuff （like chewing more makes your mandible get bigger） seems fairly easily testable， and I'm surprised I haven't heard more about it， if it is true。 Some of the book had an annoying sense of "1000 years ago people knew "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence，" and I'm not sure this book is the evidence， yet。 Very interesting， and a lot of the stuff makes some sense and seems physiologically plausible （like breathing through the nose and developing CO2 tolerance）。 Some of the other stuff （like chewing more makes your mandible get bigger） seems fairly easily testable， and I'm surprised I haven't heard more about it， if it is true。 Some of the book had an annoying sense of "1000 years ago people knew this， but now doctors are hiding it from you，" just like those ads at the bottom of the page that say things like "Dermatologists in your area DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW this one trick。"Overall， very interesting and， as we say in medicine， hypothesis-generating。 Maybe a few more studies in the next few decades will prove Nestor right in everything。 Who knows。 。。。more

I listened to this and was fascinated， but I also got a pseudo-science vibe at times。 I was hoping the physical book would include footnotes and information about the studies the author pulled his data from， but from browsing other Goodreads reviews it seems that that’s not the case。 I definitely want to look into some of the claims and practices written about here， and I’m curious about whether some of these ideas really could help with my chronic sinus infections， but I’m still a little skepti I listened to this and was fascinated， but I also got a pseudo-science vibe at times。 I was hoping the physical book would include footnotes and information about the studies the author pulled his data from， but from browsing other Goodreads reviews it seems that that’s not the case。 I definitely want to look into some of the claims and practices written about here， and I’m curious about whether some of these ideas really could help with my chronic sinus infections， but I’m still a little skeptical overall。 。。。more

This is a very interesting book。 I think we can all learn a lot about how to breathe and to live better。 I really like the manner in which this was written。 Nestor used a lot of humor and good writing techniques to take what could have been a very dry book and make it a fun read。 Well done and now I'm off to practice better breathing。 This is a very interesting book。 I think we can all learn a lot about how to breathe and to live better。 I really like the manner in which this was written。 Nestor used a lot of humor and good writing techniques to take what could have been a very dry book and make it a fun read。 Well done and now I'm off to practice better breathing。 。。。more

A stunning assessment of breathing techniques and the scientific reasons everyone who hasn't trained their breathing needs to do so。 Nestor's appendix is a highly valuable compendium of techniques and how to begin with them if you don't have access to a teacher in the discipline。 A must-read for every user of lungs。 A stunning assessment of breathing techniques and the scientific reasons everyone who hasn't trained their breathing needs to do so。 Nestor's appendix is a highly valuable compendium of techniques and how to begin with them if you don't have access to a teacher in the discipline。 A must-read for every user of lungs。 。。。more

Thought provoking and interesting read。 Like all such books， there's a lot of padding and a fair number of claims and stories that need to be read critically， remembering that the author must strike a balance between a dry， just-the-facts survey of the scientific literature and their publisher's desire for the print version of clickbait （impulse-purchase-while-connecting-through-ATL-bait？） Given that… "Breath" contains a lot of intriguing ideas and introduces them in an entertaining and softly c Thought provoking and interesting read。 Like all such books， there's a lot of padding and a fair number of claims and stories that need to be read critically， remembering that the author must strike a balance between a dry， just-the-facts survey of the scientific literature and their publisher's desire for the print version of clickbait （impulse-purchase-while-connecting-through-ATL-bait？） Given that… "Breath" contains a lot of intriguing ideas and introduces them in an entertaining and softly convincing way。 Nestor gives you some threads， it's up to you to pull on them。 。。。more

So interesting！ I really want to learn more and start a practice with the breathing exercises。 I’ve often thought that you can control a lot with your breath。 A very thought provoking read！

Colin ，

One of those rare books that fundamentally changed the way I think about life， the world， and even what I thought I knew about science。 Almost so much so that I'm inclined to be skeptical - but it is well-explained， seems to have sturdy scientific backing， and even corroborates simple things like how taking deep breaths can calm you down。 Really fascinating。 One of those rare books that fundamentally changed the way I think about life， the world， and even what I thought I knew about science。 Almost so much so that I'm inclined to be skeptical - but it is well-explained， seems to have sturdy scientific backing， and even corroborates simple things like how taking deep breaths can calm you down。 Really fascinating。 。。。more

This book was quite easy and interesting to read。 I like how the author took upon himself to try many breathing experiments to write about them later。 He writes in an informal tone， so some people who are expecting something more serious might not enjoy it， but I thought it was a fun introduction to the topic of breathing and it made me want to read his other books。 The author is quite open for new ideas， many of which goes against what is widely accepted。 I give him credit for that。

Plenty of science behind breathing。5。5secs inhale， 5。5secs exhale， 5。5liters of air in every cycle of breath - that’s perfect breathing

What to say， what to say。 Here's an iceberg's tip's worth of notes。 Must read。Breathing。 We are doing it wrong。 We must breathe through our noses only。 The mouth is just a backup plan in case of an emergency。 We must breathe deeply and slowly all the time。 5。5 rounds per minute are ideal。 Exhale completely。 Get it out so you can refresh with new air。 We don't use our lungs at full capacity with our shallow breathing habits。 This will fix a multitude of health issues。 Like snoring， to start。*Mout What to say， what to say。 Here's an iceberg's tip's worth of notes。 Must read。Breathing。 We are

completely。 Get it out so you can refresh with new air。 We don't use our lungs at full capacity with our shallow breathing habits。 This will fix a multitude of health issues。 Like snoring， to start。*Mouth breathing at night causes the body to lose 40% more water。 Wake up parched and dry。 this causes us to need to urinate due to the pituitary gland that secretes a substance called vasopressin which communicates with cells to store more water。 "This is how animals can sleep through the night without feeling thirsty or needing to relieve themselves。" IF we aren't sleeping deeply （by breathing through our nose， and not dehydrating ourselves） this gland isn't communicating properly。If you need to tape your mouth shut at night to train yourself， do it。 even if it's just a small piece the size of a stamp。 （less claustrophobic）。 Claims: Proper breathing can restructure your face。 Widen the narrow arches， straighten the teeth。*Studies of Natives who had full wide faces and good bone structures found that they would train their infants from birth to nose-breath。 They would pinch the mounts shut if they opened。 or carefully close the lips with their fingers after each feeding。 so no unfiltered， dirty air could get in。*Also， CHEWING。 our teeth and facial bone structure are crap because we， for the past hundreds of years since we've begun farming， eat softer foods。 We no longer spend hours chewing on raw meat or root vegetables。 This builds the bone and muscle to give us the desirable teeth and wide sunus cavities， beautiful faces。 Once farming was started， thus began crooked teeth and breathing problems， mouths shrank， sinuses plugged。*"we have known for a long time that savages have excellent teth and that civilized men have terrible teeth。。。we're focusing on the task of finding out why our teeth are so poor without ever bothering to learn why the savage's teeth are good"*Fascinating to read the research about how different the indigenous people around the world ate in terms of nutrients。 Whenever they replaced their traditional diet with modern processed foods they suffered from cavities， crooked teeth， obstructed airways， poorer health。 But even if we ate all the same nutrients （say， spinach smoothies， avocados， good oils， etc）， the power of healthy bones and straight teeth lies in the act of CHEWING for a long time。 We aren't chewing nearly enough。"But most people didn't want the grimy lifestyle that comes along with it"。 so true。*There was talk about nasal surgeries to open airways。 deviated septums。 grinding down the turbinates （tissue that lines our sinuses that swell too big to breathe comfortably through our noses。）， the dangers of grinding down too much of the tissues so our airways are too open which brings in too much air that makes your brain hurt and eventually lose your mind。*The author， who suffered from all of these problems， wore an appliance to widen his upper arch to give him more breathing space。 He said after a year of it， the results were stunning， he'd added millimeters of bone on his nose and upper jaw， the position was better aligned。 airways were wider and firmer， the pus deposits that had accumulated deep in sinuses were completely gone。 *Many different breathing techniques that were all spinoffs of some ancient Tummo technique that， when mastered， has the power to heal and cure immune maladies。 It's hard to get a sense of how to do through reading。 I need an actual class or at the very least youtube demo。*Toward the end it got a little wild。 They said our brains and breathing techniques are capable of inducing the same reactions （visions， hallucinations， etc） that LSD gives us if we put in the time （ex: 3 hours of really hard， heavy breathing on the floor， to start）。*So much talk on the controversial topic of whether to not having too much carbon dioxide in your system enhances your performance。 Apparently， you can train yourself to hold your breath for up to 10 minutes， survive an hour in freezing water （by keeping your body warm through breathing）， cure your psychosis， and other impossible feats if you can saturate your tissues with more carbon dioxide by breathing a particular way。To sum up， to perfect your breathing is to perfect your health and life。 A one-stop cure-all， it would seem。 On the other hand， similar claims are made by those pushing single products like apple cider vinegar， for example。 So I get skeptical。 I guess to truly believe I would have to put it in practice for months （really hard because once I finish the book， this will fade fast， if I know myself） which I'm not opposed to but it would work better for me to attend a class about it。 practice with an expert。In the meantime， I'm more aware of making myself breathe deeply， only through my nose， and exhale slowly。 Hope it sticks。 。。。more

I picked up this book after my psychotherapist recommended it。 I didn't have a lot of expectations。 I thought that once I'd found Linklater for performance， my need for books on breathwork would fade。 I loved this book。 So clear， entertaining， informative。 The author approached everything with a sense of curiosity。 Plus at the end， there is an appendix of the breathing exercises。 I highly recommend it for anyone interested in breathwork and the nervous system。 Or just healthy living。 I picked up this book after my psychotherapist recommended it。 I didn't have a lot of expectations。 I thought that once I'd found Linklater for performance， my need for books on breathwork would fade。 I loved this book。 So clear， entertaining， informative。 The author approached everything with a sense of curiosity。 Plus at the end， there is an appendix of the breathing exercises。 I highly recommend it for anyone interested in breathwork and the nervous system。 Or just healthy living。 。。。more

Holy cherry picking， batman。 This is not science， not even science journalism， this is pseudoscience。 The best part is perhaps the guided breathing techniques at the end， because like any disciplined breathing techniques， they can *help* with anxiety， tension， stress， etc。 *HELP，* not cure。 But the wider claims made in this book are irresponsibly broad。

Invigorating！ Only this past year have I come to really appreciate and enjoy breathing on a daily basis， and this book makes me want to know so much more about our most fundamental action。 The only reason I give four stars instead of five is because it left me wanting more。
