Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art by James Nestor is a 2020 work of popular science and health journalism about one of the most automatic yet neglected human functions. Nestor, a science journalist known for reporting on the limits of human performance, investigates breathing through physiology, anthropology, medical history, sports practice, and self-experimentation. The book argues that modern people often breathe in ways that are inefficient or harmful, especially through chronic mouth breathing, shallow respiration, and excessive air intake. Rather than presenting breath as a mystical wellness subject, Nestor frames it as a trainable biological process shaped by airway structure, nervous system response, carbon dioxide tolerance, and cultural habits. Its purpose is both explanatory and practical: to show why nasal, slower, and more controlled breathing matters, while tracing how older traditions and newer research converge on similar principles. The result is a readable investigation that sits between science writing, self-improvement, and medical curiosity.
