“My choir director assigned this book to read and discuss online, and I am so glad she did. Though I know how to breathe to sing, I had no idea of the intricacies. The author posits that people (not just singers!) have lost the ability to breathe properly, to our detriment. He includes medical information (ancient and modern) that encompasses cutting-edge studies in not only pulmonology but psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology. Readers will appreciate the engaging way he discusses this, especially the material about how he experimented on himself with various breathing techniques. I highly recommend this book.”- Laurel, Main Library
