Review of 'Breath' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

More of a travelogue or roadtrip than serious science book, but it does have quality end notes and references. The gist of it is that proper breathing is neglected in current society. This book gives at least a start into thinking about these things.

I found this very similar to [b:Rust: The Longest War|22609454|Rust The Longest War|Jonathan Waldman|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1425975346l/22609454.SY75.jpg|42099425]. In both books, the author travels to many locations, visiting people and discussing the topic of the book. In each case, these are topics most people don't think too deeply on, so perhaps popular science gets the point across better than studies. Both books were also pretty eye opening, and worth reading.

Rust has a bit more humor.
