Relatively modern compared to the previous text, as this book was released in 2020. Breath by James Nestor is a surprisingly entertaining page-turner. If you prefer a more ‘scientific’ based approach then this book might be more for you. Not only does he give studies and references to back up his points he also delves into different cultural practices from around the world and offers up some of his own anecdotal evidence to convince and amuse. Nestor’s main focus is on the danger of habitual mouth breathing, what it causes and how it can be avoided to improve your health and happiness all round. “I call this a ‘lost art’ because so many of these new discoveries aren’t new at all. Most of the techniques I’ll be exploring have been around for hundreds, sometimes thousands of years. They were created, documented, forgotten, and discovered in another culture at another time, then forgotten again. This went on for centuries.” James Nestor Restoring Prana by Robin Rothenberg
