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

3.0

---

This book is a good informative read primarily as mean to reflect on your breathing and how it changes based on mood and stress levels. Vice versa the author argues that the way we breathe is not only a consequence of our mental/physical state but possibly the cause. Enjoyed the read but could not buy in to half of the arguments which were mostly anecdotal…would love for science to catch up and solidify some good insights from this book and turn them into facts.
Read if: you want to explore how breath impact you and how to control it.
Don’t read if: you are expecting a more historical overview of breath and meditation fully backed by science.
