Nothing is more fundamental to living than breathing. But just because you've been doing it all your life doesn't mean you can't do it better. Breathing well is also central to meditation, relaxation and other practices that slow down the aging process and feel great while you're doing it.

You'll learn how your breathing apparatus works, and how the breath of life moves through your body and affects your well-being. You'll explore the science of stress and discover how to identify stressors and reduce their effects. You'll also learn how to improve the significant part of your life you spend sleeping, and why it's so important to your overall health picture.

Disc Two is devoted to tools and practices that will enhance your breathing, help you relax, and de-stress your life. In this remarkable series of exercises and meditations, the Docs and their frequent collaborator and co-host Lisa Oz introduce you to powerful techniques you'll use again and again, including:

Reviews

[James Biser · Rating 3 out of 5]

I listened to this book as an audiobook, hoping it would give me insight in how and why I should practice meditation. It had some good ideas about meditative practice, but I find I was looking for more intellectual or spiritual education. This is a pretty good book for ideas on practicing meditation, but it did not inspire me to pick up the meditation habit.

While this had so good basic information there was a product pitch in the middle that caught me off guard.

This was pretty good. I liked the physiology review on how some of the body works as they prepared to teach more on how to improve breathing and posture and reducing stress. It was really quick but informative.

[Janice · Rating 2 out of 5]

I love the breathing techniques and guided stretch from Liza Oz. It really helps.
For the rest of the book, it is just a summary of all possible reasons that cause stress. Nothing surprise. It is a reminder of what a stress-free life is if you aware of your stress, sleep, and diet, etc.

I have trouble sleeping at night and this has given me some great tips for helping to be more relaxed, and less stressed.
