What dietary program are you following? How much do you exercise, how thin, young, or wise are you? None of this matters if you are not breathing properly. There is nothing more important for our health and well-being than breathing. We inhale, exhale – and repeat this process twenty-five thousand times a day.

And yet, the human species has lost the ability to breathe properly. And the cost is heavy. Modern research has shown that even small changes in the way we breathe can regenerate our internal organs, free us from autoimmune diseases, and grant us a better life. But how can we achieve these changes?

Journalist James Nestor traveled the world to understand the problem and find answers. Through medical texts spanning thousands of years, ancient breathing practices such as Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo, as well as recent studies in pulmonology, psychology, and biochemistry, he overturns our conventional beliefs about our most vital biological function.
