Book review: Breath by James Nestor

“If I had to limit my advice on healthier living to just one tip, it would be simply to learn how to breathe better.” Andrew Weil

As we’re approaching the end of 2024, I think I’m brave to say that if there is one book you read in 2025, let it be Breath by James Nestor. For your health, well-being and overall sanity. Yes, I’m serious. I read it a few months ago, but waited for the right (aka free!) moment to put together this short review, as I wanted to recommend this book to you. I found this publication fascinating: from knowledge of the past, interesting experiments, scientific facts to practical advice. While reading the book I was becoming more and more aware of my own breath, and I slowly started re-discovering the beauty of breathing. To introduce any changes into my breathing practice sounded so simple, but in reality, it was and still is much more challenging. I’m not going to share more details about this book, as I don’t want to spoil the pleasure of reading it yourself, and discovering the story behind our own breath.

As I’m publishing my words in December, I’m taking this opportunity to wish you a wonderful and calm Christmas, and a most prosperous New Year, 2025! Thank you for reading my blog and let’s meet here in 2025!

With love, Kinga
