it was amazing

4 parts good info and 1 part crackpot, this book seems to have a good amount of excellent information that’s well-researched mixed in with some new age nonsense. But on the whole, I’m glad I read this. I am using some of these exercises and am making some (hopefully) lifelong breathing changes based on the principles in this book. I’m glad that this book is pushing forward some good self-maintenance and I look forward to the research that grows out of the author’s compilation of a variety of sources into a slim, easy-to-read volume.

Austin Millard What are some of the best breathing practices in the book?


John Tankersley A lot were interesting. One consisted of exercises for patients with damaged lungs to increase their lung capacity so they could lead more active lives. Breathing less so that your body can perform at peak performance.
