I loved this book! Also worth mentioning that it’s quite funny, for a book so much about noses. Very very readable

Yes! My favourite bit was when he tried to run without breathing through his mouth and almost had a panic attack (did I immediately try and do this too? Yes I did.)

Haha yeah I also enjoyed when that (Swiss? Swedish?) guy was in his kitchen and they were both doing the mouth breathing experiment and he had this moment of, what is my life

As a lady in her 50s, I became plagued by the 3 am wake-up and would then lie there awake for a couple hours with my body in sub-panic mode. It’s a common phenomenon that occurs as part of menopause, and can be debilitating. I discovered that similar breathwork would calm me down quickly and enable me to fall back asleep - and it was, in fact, life changing!

That's cool. I'll definitely take life-changing over life-tweaking when I can get it!
