There’s a secret to solving workplace stress and burn out. It’s surprisingly simple: breathe. According to science journalist JAMES NESTOR, breathing is the key to transforming our lives—more than diet, sleep, or exercise. Drawing on his instant New York Times bestseller Breath—which spent 18 weeks on the bestseller list in its first year and has sold over 2 million copies worldwide—James turns the conventional wisdom about our most basic biological function on its head.
He teaches us that even slight adjustments to our breathing can profoundly improve workplace efficiency, athletic performance, anxiety, and sleep. Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat Pray Love, calls James’s work “a fascinating scientific, cultural, spiritual, and evolutionary history of the way humans breathe—and how we’ve all been doing it wrong for a long, long time.
