Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art de James Nestor

Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art

Autor James Nestor
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 iul 2021
THENEW YORK TIMESBESTSELLER

'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

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. InBreath, journalist James Nestor travels the world to discover the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it.

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 ancient wisdom and 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.

Recenzii

'A really, REALLY interesting book'
'Who would have thought something as simple as changing the way we breathe could be so revolutionary for our health?James Nestor is the perfect guide to the pulmonary world and has writtena fascinating book, full of dazzling revelations'
'In the past few years, there have been several potentially life-changing books, from Matthew Walker'sWhy We Sleepand Shane O'Mara'sIn Praise of Walking, to Norman Doidge'sThe Brain's Way of Healing.Breathdeserves a place alongside such volumes.Read it, and I guarantee you will want to change the way you breathe'
'I highly recommend this book'
'This book is awesome.Most people have no idea how to do breathing exercises and how beneficial they are. I learned a lot from James Nestor's book.Over the last few weeks I've been using the methods I learned and I can tell you there are absolutely some real benefits to be had from this'
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.I already feel calmer and healthier just in the last few days, from making a few simple changes in my breathing, based on what I've read.Our breath is a beautiful, healing, mysterious gift, and so is this book
'A wonderful bookthat reminds and enlightens us about how breath and mind are intertwined'
'If you want to read a book about the power of the breath, this is it!'
'I would have thought that breathing was pretty simple and well understood. Then I read this book. Now I know it's a hugely complex and wondrous process which we need to understand much better.Fascinating and provocative stuff'
'James Nestor's fascinating new book is playful and optimistic'
'A transformative book thatchanges how you think about your body and mind'
'Breathisan utterly fascinating journey into the ways we are wired. No matter who you are, you'll want to read this'
'An eye-opening, epic journey of human devolution that explains why so many of us are sick and tired.A must-read book that exposes what our health care system doesn't see'
'I don't say this often, but when I do I mean it: this book changed my life.Breathispart scientific quest, part historical insight, part Hero's Journey, full of groundbreaking ideas, and a rollicking good read. I had no idea that the simple and intuitive act of inhaling and exhaling has taken such an evolutionary hit. As a result, I figured out why I sleep so badly and why my breathing feels so often out-of-sync. With a few simple tweaks,I fixed my breathing and fixed myself. A transformational book'
'If you breathe, you need this book. When we undervalue anything, including something so basic as breathing, bad things always happen-and Nestor makes it clear how awful it's gotten. But he alsoprovides a clear airway back to better, deeper, stronger respirations'
'Breathshows us just how extraordinary the act of breathing is and why so much depends on how we do it.An enthralling, surprising, and often funny adventure into our most overlooked and undervalued function'
'Super interesting'
It's anincrediblebook, I absolutely loved it

'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

There is nothing more essential to our health and wellbeing than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat 25,000 times a day.
