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. In Breath, 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.

I bought the book when it came out and couldn't put it down, it's so well written. You're carefully led on a journey where you learn so much on the way. I'm a professional voiceover artist and since following all the advice and also sleeping with my mouth taped up I don't get sore throats or a dry mouth even narrating all day in the voice booth, I feel much healthier, and my anxiety levels have dropped dramatically. Thank you, James Nestor, you really have dramatically improved my life.

To help me get to sleep, I breath in (through the nose) to count of 4, hold to count of 7, exhale to count of 8.. I do this 12 to 15 times or more if necessary. It Helps.

Thank you James. I am in my 70's and came across your book several years ago. Around the same time I also read 'The Wim Hof Method'. Together these two books have become a key part of my health 'bible' and there is no doubt that I am a far healthier and fitter person because of them. Good on you!

I canāt tell you what a difference controlling my breathing has made to my anxiety/nervousness. Itās been life changing. Iāve been listening to Jamesā audiobook and absolutely loving it.

I am 85 and for most of my life I sing WHENEVER. Wonderful way to breathe. When I was in rehab for a broken hip, because of noisy patients, I could sing 24/7! Love it! I sang while doing exercise therapy until the instructor told me to āact normalā. Sigh.

From a psychotherapy course (Mindfields -Human Givens) I learned about 7/11 breathing to relax the parasympathetric nervous system.Count to 7 while inhaling and to 11 while exhaling. During the night it sends me off to sleep again nearly every time. Many people try it too briefly and give up after half a dozen breaths but the more you practise it the better it works.I also use it when playing tennis and weight training in the gym when I start panting through over exertion. Nestor's book confirms what I have learnt..It works if you persist.

I started learning how to breathe properly (through the nose) back in 2021, and I can honestly say my life has improved overall. Workouts are drastically better, and I feel like I'm a better athlete, overall.

I really appreciate the clarity and simplification of your video. I have just sent it to someone in the hospital, suffering from extremely high level of blood pressure caused by stress. Thank you for making the video.

Another proof that health should be approached in a holistic manner and that our body can heal itself more than we think!

Thank you I am feeling relaxed. Never too old to learn. I'm 69.

I watched this about a month ago and since then I've watched it many more times and shared it with everyone in my family and most of my friends. This changed my life the minute I watched it and I've been on a positive upswing in my mood, anxiety, and depression ever since. James, I don't know if you read the comments, but thank you so much. I cannot thank you enough; you've helped me get my life back on track. This may only have been a small piece of my puzzle of my depression but it was enough to get the ball rolling. I no longer live in fear of panic attacks, hyperventilation. Going on walks and focusing on slow nose breathing has become my form of meditation. I wish I could thank you in person. Thank you thank you THANK YOU.

Brilliant explanation and advice !!! Thank you š

Out of all the many videos I've watched on the science and neuroscience of breathing, correct breathing, breath meditations and parasympathetic nervous system activation through breathing, this has been the most direct, simple and practical! Excellent!!!

I finished listening to the audiobook earlier this week, Iāve started it over from the beginning. I see myself in these descriptions at every turn. I have a very small mouth from all the factors named. Iāve suffered with allergies all my life - Iām 71. Over the past few years my allergies seem to have worsened. At the point when I discovered your book, I was breathing through my mouth most of the time. My husband tells me I now snore most nights. Iāve started using your 5 seconds in, 5 seconds out breath pattern as a place to start. Iāve found some breathing exercises on YouTube. Iāve only been doing this for three days and already I am nose breathing more throughout the day. I plan to continue working on improving my breathing. Thank you.

Suffered from crippling anxiety and depression and used alcohol n pot to numb it, heard this message from a family member, tried it and 20 minutes later my life changed and Iāve never focused on anything but breath for 2 years. Happy, calm, sober and finally holding a job. Your brain can handle 2 thoughts, make one breath, feel amazing, and live in the moment with your other thought.
