The pulmonaut: how James Nestor turned breathing into a 3m copy bestseller

๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ I'm so over the popularity of breathwork books now. Like, sure, it's great and all that but 3 million copies sold? That's just a lot of people blowing air into their faces and calling it meditation ๐Ÿ’จ. And don't even get me started on the science behind it all - I mean, come on, folks, you can't just wear a palate-expanding device for a year and expect your breathing patterns to magically change overnight ๐Ÿคฃ. I swear, some of these authors are just trying to make a quick buck off our desire to be healthy and happy ๐Ÿ’ธ. And what's with the straight-to-Amazon release deal? Can't they see that's just lazy marketing? ๐Ÿ˜’
 
omg u guys i just finished reading james nestors book breath and i'm like totally blown away by the research he did on breathing patterns ๐Ÿคฏ i mean, who knew that our modern diet and lifestyle could lead to changes in our skull shape and make us breathe less efficiently?!? it's crazy how he was initially thinking of breathing as a binary concept but then discovered so much more nuance to it ๐Ÿค“

i also love how he shares his own personal journey with respiratory problems and how breathwork transformed his life ๐Ÿ’†โ€โ™‚๏ธ i feel like we could all benefit from incorporating some conscious breathing into our daily routine, especially considering the connection between breathing patterns and facial structure ๐Ÿ˜Š

anyway, i'm definitely inspired to try out some of these breathing exercises and see if it improves my overall well-being ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ‘
 
I'm still on the fence about this breathwork thing ๐Ÿค”. I mean, it sounds pretty cool and all, but 3 million copies sold since 2020? That's some crazy timing ๐Ÿ˜‚. Wasn't there a pandemic going on or something? Anyway, Nestor's book makes some interesting points, like how our modern diet and lifestyle can affect breathing patterns... but isn't that just an excuse to try out some new gadgets and gizmos? ๐Ÿค– I'm not convinced it's all about conscious breathing and natural health... there's gotta be more to it ๐Ÿ˜’.
 
I just finished reading James Nestor's book "Breath" ๐Ÿคฏ and I gotta say, it was super eye-opening! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ The way he breaks down the importance of breathing patterns in maintaining good health is honestly kinda mind-blowing ๐Ÿ’ฅ I mean, who knew that our modern diet and lifestyle could lead to changes in the shape of our skulls? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ That's some wild stuff right there.

I also love how Nestor shares his own personal journey with respiratory problems and how breathwork helped transform his life. It's amazing how one concept can have such a profound impact on our overall well-being ๐ŸŒฑ I'm definitely gonna start paying more attention to my breathing habits from now on ๐Ÿค”

What really got me was the part about facial structure and breathing patterns โ€“ it's crazy to think that our teeth and mouth size can affect how we breathe! ๐Ÿ’ก And the fact that there are people out there who are doing unconventional methods like Carl Stough is definitely intriguing ๐Ÿค

I don't know if I agree with all of Nestor's claims, but "Breath" has definitely made me think more deeply about my relationship with breathing and how it affects my physical and mental health ๐Ÿ™
 
๐Ÿคฏ just finished reading "breath" by James Nestor and I'm still trying to process everything ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ’†โ€โ™‚๏ธ the book is like a wake-up call for our modern way of living, you know? We're so focused on convenience and efficiency that we've forgotten how to breathe properly ๐Ÿ˜ด๐Ÿ‘€ Nestor's research is crazy - who knew that breathing was so connected to facial structure and oral habits? ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ’ฌ it's time for us to take a step back and listen to our bodies, you feel me? ๐ŸŽงโค๏ธ and yeah, some of the ideas might sound weird at first, but trust Nestor on this one - conscious breathing is the real deal ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘
