Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn. In recent months, the pandemic has forced us all to reevaluate our assumptions about health and safety and multiple acts of police brutality have challenged most of us to reconsider our responsibility for fighting racism. Yet in our daily lives, too many of us still favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

Sleep is one of the most important aspects of our life, health and longevity and yet it is increasingly neglected in 21st century society, with devastating consequences: every major disease in the developed world - Alzheimer's, cancer, obesity, diabetes - has very strong causal links to deficient sleep. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why its absence is so damaging to our health. Compared to the other basic drives in life - eating, drinking and reproducing - the purpose of sleep remained elusive.

Story
Take stock of your life: Based on your last 30 days of work (or marriage, or parenting), would your company rehire you? Would your partner immediately recommit to you? Would your children want you to continue to be their parent? The easy answer is, "Absolutely!" But it's probably not the honest answer. Your life might read like a success story, and your parents and friends might even think you have it all figured out, but you have a secret: You feel out of place in your own life. You'd rather binge-watch Netflix than think about what's next. You're living on autopilot.
Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin. Narrated by James Nestor.
There is nothing more essential to our health and wellbeing than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat 25,000 times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. Journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it.
The answers aren't found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of São Paulo, Brazil. Nestor tracks down men and women exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya and Tummo and teams up with pulmonary tinkerers to scientifically test long-held beliefs about how we breathe.
Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can jump-start athletic performance, rejuvenate internal organs, halt snoring, allergies, asthma and autoimmune disease, and even straighten scoliotic spines. None of this should be possible, and yet it is.
Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head.
You will never breathe the same again.
Critic Reviews
"A transformative book that changes how you think about your body and mind." (Josua Foer, author of Moonwalking with Einstein)
"Who would have thought something as simple as changing the way we breathe could be so revolutionary for our health, from snoring to allergies to immunity? A fascinating book, full of dazzling revelations." (Dr Rangan Chatterjee)
"I highly recommend this book." (Wim Hof)

This book is not about how to practise Pranayama or breathing exercise, but bringing out the importance of the same. Thus, inspiring convincingly. Recommend reading by all, old and young. And then practise correct way of breathing and also Pranayama.

Fascinating!! A factual awaking of the science of breath.
I have suffered from a blocked nose all my life! Which is why I was drawn to this book(after watching James’ TED Talk).
I am an active 52 year old, working in the health & fitness field for 34 years now, so the art of breathing has always been a keen subject to me. ‘Breath’ is such an eye opener to the world of the science of breathing that I feel anyone one with an interest in the subject should definitely read it.
The manner in which James has narrated the book, makes it a delightful listen, even to the lay person, who would just be inquisitive above breathing.
Thoroughly enjoyed the book! Would definitely encourage everyone to read it.

A detailed and insightful look into breathing
A detailed and insightful look into breathing.
This book taught me a lot that I didn’t know and I’m already starting to put into practice some of its advice.
The eight you are left with make you question the length of the book and, although some of the stories surrounding the tips are interesting, other ones drag and feel repetitive.
This meant it was a bit of a struggle at times to commit to.
A good book and it is useful, although I’m left feeling that I could have for the same insight from a 2000 word article.

The power of your breath... and tonnes of interesting things you didn’t know.
As a yoga teacher, I am familiar with many of the techniques discussed in this book. The author presents them here (in the audible version) in a really accessible and interesting way. I’ve learned much about the historical investigations into the power of breathing and our evolution as a species... and the wonderful anecdotes and personal stories throughout are most engaging. I thoroughly recommend this book (even if you think you know all about breath techniques already) the passion and curiosity of the author and his cohorts is palpable!

Informative and could be life changing information
This is an absolutely fascinating book. The author did a huge amount of research and I'd guess many will be amazed at how many things are connected to the way we breathe, such as blood pressure, bone density, our facial structure, snoring, allergies, hypertension, psoriasis, asthma, crooked teeth...
The explanations of some those things made so much sense and I liked the suggestions provided on how to go about remedying some of those issues in a way that costs nothing but time and effort.
Am about to start reading for a second time to truly take it all in.

this book has changed my life!
I finally managed to get restful sleep over many years, while tracking my sleep with Oura ring and sleeping in perfect condition at 18C, 40% humidity, having fixed bedtime and wake-up, without eating anything prior sleeping for 3 hours and dimming the lights and blocking out all the blue wavelengths, eating healthy and having very fit body I still had a very low restfulness score, tossing and turning throughout the night! Just by applying simple hack of taping middle of my lips shut with a postmark sized tape piece I woke up in the morning completely recovered and full of energy and enthusiasm which I last felt many years ago, and breathing through the nose in the morning has never felt better. Thank you again for this masterpiece. If there is one book to improve your health and wellbeing this is it.

great book if you have anxiety or sleep problems
Have been struggling with bad sleep for a few years now which I was aware was coming from stress/ anxiety. When I'm stressed i feel a tightness in the chest and it's been such a relief to find a book with a great story, information, narration, and very practical advice on reversing that tight anxious, out of breath feeling which also was ruining my sleep. Many thanks for this book James Nestor

Great book for complementing health practices.
James Nestor does a great job in explaining his own experiences with breathing as well as the history and science behind different breathing practices.
Personally, I'm constantly looking for new methods and good habits to incorporate in my life, so this book will help me to improve one of the many areas I might be neglecting.
The breathing practices in the final section is worthwhile because there is someone guiding you through the excersices, so better doing the audiobook format.

Excellent insight - breathe only through your nose
The anthropological research is fascinating. The book gives an excellent analysis and practical suggestions for improving our quality of life through better breathing habits. In short, learn to breathe slowly, deeply, only through the nose, and try for some breaks between the inhale and exhale as well. There are numerous variations to experiment with, to find what suits you best and in what context.

Life changing
Along with Mathew Walker’s Why We Sleep, this book should be a must read for everyone!
You’ll never breathe the same. That’s all I can say.
Beautifully written and read. Very engaging, informative and inspiring.
