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

3.0
The author relied very heavily on anecdotal evidence, I was hoping for more of an exploration of what we know through scientific research. I did appreciate learning the history of many of the breathing practices though, and the author had an engaging way of writing which made it fun to listen to (makes sense since he is a journalist, not a scientist). Would recommend only if you don’t take everything he claims at face value.
