  • Summary

  • Bestselling author James Nestor believes that we can improve our lives by changing the way we breathe. He’s persuasive enough to get Steve taping his mouth shut at night. He explains how humans dive to depths of 300 feet without supplemental oxygen, and describes what it’s like to be accepted into a pod of whales.

Favorite PIM so far

Excellent interview highlighting the importance and transformative power of proper breathing. 90% of material was completely new to me and I sincerely hope parents of kids with pulmonary disorders listen in and seriously consider helping their children by researching sone of these techniques for themselves.
