Book Review: Breath

Breath
By James Nestor
Review by Sophie TB

I will be honest, I am not usually a non-fiction reader, but this book is one big YES. Complex, human, fascinating, educating, eye-opening, meditative, and infinitely readable! More than a self-help book, don’t let the science of it put you off, because this is human history and evolution at its most simple. So if you want to breathe properly, and want to learn all the nifty tricks that the human body is capable of, do yourself a massive favour and read this book. Even if you think you know how to breathe! You might be surprised at what you find out…
