We live our lives at bullet train speed, we don’t notice the breaths we take. We don’t exhale our stress and anxiety. We don’t listen to what our bodies are telling us. As a result, we are no longer present, or at peace. This book changes that.

This book is not about breathwork. It’s not about subscribing to a Masterclass in breathing, and it’s not about lying on a Yoga mat somewhere in Nepal. This book doesn’t ask you to do more, be more or train harder. No big facts to swallow nor expensive techniques to buy. No herbal drugs either. And no purging. There is none of that here. This is a simple book. A pilgrim’s book. This is a book about conscious, everyday breathing. It needs no ceremony nor spiritual accolade. It just arrives. For you.

Born from the dust of our human lives, in this book you’ll find strange, beautiful sounds. You’ll find pink camels, and dolphins, and stonewalls – and CEOs acting like children. And there are children in this book too. Magnificent children that need us more than most. Around page 105, maybe, you’ll find you.

A note from the author:

“I believe that learning is a way of life and that, during my time as a special educator, I learnt the children come to school, and the rest of us do the real learning. I did the real learning, which is why I have written this book. I’ve discovered, the deepest learning comes from our hearts and our experiences, and our children. In essence, it is a continuum of play and curiosity, filled with treasures that ground us, develop and support us, in the glorious diversity of our humanness.
