Breath

Breath by James Nestor completely changed the way I think about something I’ve done my whole life without a second thought. It’s not just a book about breathing—it’s a deep dive into how we’ve lost touch with the most basic function of being alive, and what it costs us. Nestor blends science, history, and personal experimentation to show just how powerful proper breathing can be for our health, focus, sleep, and overall well-being. It was revelatory for me—I started applying what I learned immediately, and the effects have been tangible.

What makes the book so compelling is Nestor’s storytelling. He doesn’t preach; he explores—with curiosity, humility, and a touch of humor. The blend of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge science feels balanced and accessible. It’s rare that a nonfiction book shifts both mindset and behavior, but this one did exactly that for me. Breath isn’t just a good read—it’s a wake-up call, and I’ve recommended it more times than I can count.
