This book blew me away with how insightful, detailed, and digestible it was! Easy to read text. Verbiage broken down from jargon (as needed) to things anyone could understand. Sections outlined and sub-divided into appropriate bite sized bits so you could binge read or piece by piece a little at a time. Also had a ton of wonderful insights on all the ways freediving and the nervous system connect with each other in powerful and meaningful ways. I've re-read it twice now and still find more that resonates each time!
