How to Breathe for Optimal Brain Perform...

Jim Kwik, Your Brain Coach, Founder www.KwikLearning.com
About this episode

What are the best ways to breathe for optimal brain performance?

Breathing affects everything in your life, from our focus, concentration, mental energy, vitality, immune system, and so much more. Yet, you may not be doing it the right way.

Like many things, such as memory, focus, and concentration, breathing optimally was not one of those things you were taught in school.

Today, we have a breathing expert, James Nestor. He’s a science journalist and author of the New York Times best-selling book Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art.

This episode has so much packed in, be sure you listen with the intention of teaching someone else. Remember, when you learn something to explain it to someone else, you get to learn it twice.
