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 a book that has changed countless lives James

Jump-start athletic performance Reduce anxiety and stress and boost productivity Halt snoring
allergies asthma and autoimmune disease Ease headaches and sinus problems 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. *Cover and copy may vary*
