Vivian's Reviews > Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art

Popular science approach to the physiological effects of breathing, and how we breathe, on the body and mind from the cellular level up. Unsurprisingly, a good bit of attention is focused on yoga techniques, but it also illustrates other techniques utilized by premier athletes and opera singers. Essentially, how to get the most out of life. This doesn't replace modern medicine, it demonstrates what a valuable tool conscious breathing is on the human engine.

Not academic speak, but substantive enough that I'll buy a copy for a healthcare worker friend.

And honestly, I'm a bit terrified of mouth-breathing after reading this.
