James Nestor is an author and journalist who has written for Scientific American, Outside,

The New York Times, The Atlantic, National Public Radio, The San Francisco Chronicle, and

more. His latest book, Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, was released May 26, 2020

by Riverhead/Penguin Random House and was an instant New York Times and London

Sunday Times bestseller. Breath explores how the human species has lost the ability to

breathe properly. This sounds impossible, but it’s true. Snoring, sleep apnea, asthma,

allergies and even autoimmune diseases are among the most prevalent diseases in the

modern world, and all of them can be either exacerbated, or sometimes caused, by poor

breathing. Nestor spent years in laboratories and ancient burial sites, working with

researchers at Stanford, University of Pennsylvania, and other institutions to figure out what

went wrong with our breathing--and how to fix it. Breath will be translated into more than 30

languages in 2021.

He lives and breathes in San Francisco.
