Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art

32. Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art by James Nestor
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Interesting, but not a tactical guide for breathing better. If that's what you're looking for, skip to the epilogue which gives a condensed version of the book and the appendix which describes some breathing techniques. And check out his website https://www.mrjamesnestor.com/breath for video demos of breathing techniques and expert talks.

If you're looking for the "new science," that's mostly in the end notes.

The meat of the book is a mix of memoir style writing of his experiences with different breathing techniques and stories about past breathing techniques with benefits that never went mainstream. It gives more context to the techniques.

2. Request your mail in ballot now or plan how you will vote in person. Early is better.

Always remember polls do not decide elections, VOTERS do. 

Need to register to vote, check your registration, request a mail in ballot, find out where to vote? This site is easy to navigate: https://iwillvote.com/

If you're voting by mail, fill it out and send it back (or drop it off yourself) as soon as you get it. Follow every instruction to make sure your vote will count.

If you decide to vote in person, vote early if you can. Know your voting rights (e.g. your right to stay in line if polls close, what to do if machines are down, your right to a provisional ballot, etc.).

Vote like your rights depend on it because they do.
