Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art
A deep dive into the science and practice of breathing
"No matter what we eat, how much we exercise, how resilient our genes are, how skinny or young or wise we are—none of it will matter unless we're breathing correctly."
— James Nestor
My Review
Nestor's exploration of breathing reveals how even the most fundamental biological processes can be optimized or degraded by modern life. The book demonstrates that organisms are systems of interconnected functions - change one input (breathing) and everything else shifts.
Why It Matters
Demonstrates how fundamental biological processes underpin everything else. A reminder that optimization often means returning to biological basics.
Key Ideas
- Modern humans have lost optimal breathing patterns
- Breathing affects every system in the body
- Simple interventions can have profound systemic effects
- Ancient practices often encoded biological wisdom
How It Connects to This Framework
The concept of biological fundamentals and systemic interconnection throughout the framework.
