This excellent book provides you with the essence of how to gain skill and confidence in better breathing. Since breathing is a part of all that we do, it is a key to mastering life for everybody no matter what their situation is, and the author does an excellent job of conveying this. Thus an olympic level athlete or a person recouperating from a serious injury will find guidance and improvement in learning these experiments.they are extremely effective, yet taught by Carola in a way that is gentle, and adapts to everyone's varied situations. Just as learning the alphabet gives us access to create and also read many words, learning these breathing experiments is a key that will open us up to a much fuller potential in all our life situations. Once these experiments are learned, they can be applied, even with just a few seconds of time to improve our breathing.Carola Speads is a master teacher, who lived for 98 years and taught this work for 83 years of her life. We are fortunate that she shared her brilliant ideas in a do it yourself format so that we can all benefit from her expertise. I recommend this book to all my friends, colleagues and patients, since it is so basic and effective to improving their lives, no matter what challenges they face or aspirations they are reaching for.

I bought this book after been feeling my lack of good breathing skills... if you know what I mean.
THis book has enabled me to work on my own, it is very practical. The excercises included in it are effective and can be done over short periods of time.
It doesn't have any of the New Agey, Oriental parafernalia that normally comes with breathing/relaxation books, even though it doesn't opose it in any way.
I have benefited from it and I defenitely recomend it as a great buy.

This is the most complete, down to earth guide to working with your breathing. Carola Speads is a profound and generous teacher and both of those qualities come through in "Ways to Better Breathing". Read this book and, more importantly, do this book. It will be a friend to you for life. A true classic.
