Feel better, healthier, and more relaxed...with the audio
companion to the #1 Bestseller You: Staying Young

Nothing is more fundamental to living than breathing. But just because you've been doing it all your life doesn't mean you can't do it better. Breathing well is also central to meditation, relaxation and other practices that slow down the aging process and feel great while you're doing it. Expanding on the life-extending program introduced in YOU: Staying Young, Drs. Michael Roizen and Mehmet Oz bring you an audio program designed to help you enjoy all the physical, mental and spiritual benefits that come from truly breathing easy.

On Disc One, Drs. Roizen and Oz tell you how to focus on breathing to make it work for you. You'll learn how your breathing apparatus works, and how the breath of life moves through your body and affects your well-being. You'll explore the science of stress and discover how to identify stressors and reduce their effects. You'll also learn how to improve the significant part of your life you spend sleeping, and why it's so important to your overall health picture.

Disc Two is devoted to tools and practices that will enhance your breathing, help you relax, and de-stress your life. In this remarkable series of exercises and meditations, the Docs and their frequent collaborator and co-host Lisa Oz introduce you to powerful techniques you'll use again and again, including:

• Deep breathing
• Breath awareness
• Guided meditation
• Stretching and relaxation

We'll also help you open the YOU Toolbox for insights into medical tests, vitamins and supplements and other information vital to the rich, vibrant life of breathing easy.

Whether you're just learning how to meditate or refining your technique, breathing and meditation are among your most powerful tools for repairing your body and fighting the effects of aging.

YOU:Breathing Easy

Excellent, I use it while I am exercizing.Very good advice

Interesting, very little about breathing.

This is the first Oz book I've listened to and I found it interesting and helpful - will look for others. However, there's very little about breathing here, and the exercises are rudimentary - which is why I rate it low. If you're interested in a better breathing book, try Andrew Weils' Breathing: The Master Key to Self Healing on Audible.

Well thought out...

This is a well thought out audio presented by two top professionals that can speak to the lay-person. A wonderful overview that doesn't bog us all down in more detail than we need. If more detail is required there is a pdf supplement. The second chapter is a well done exercise on relaxation and meditation, all part of the breathing process. Definitely a keeper.

Very good and very disappointing

The medical advice given in this audiobook is first rate and well-taken. However, based on the description and excerpt provided in This Is Audible, I expected it to focus on what the title indicates, namely, brathing, meditation and relaxation techniques. Unfortunately, less than half of the roughly two hours is devoted to this subject. Heed the advice, but find another guide for your meditation and breathing exercises.
