The global average life expectancy stands at a little over 70 years, and the time it takes an average person to breathe in and out is about 3.3 seconds. So, chances are, you will take 670 million breaths in your lifetime. Maybe you’ve already taken half of those or maybe you’re about to take your 700 millionth breath. 

Either way, bestselling author James Nestor claims that you’ve probably taken most of your breaths incorrectly. He knows this not only because he’s read all the relevant books, but also because he’s done all the experiments as well. A member of that rare 21st-century breed, Nestor is often considered one of the leading immersive journalists of our age.
