Summary

Deep Breathing Upside merges ancient breathing practices with cutting-edge science to reveal how intentional breathwork reshapes stress resilience and emotional health. Centered on the neurophysiological power of controlled breathing, the book explains how techniques like diaphragmatic breathing activate the parasympathetic nervous system, lowering cortisol and heart rate. A standout insight: clinical trials, including a 2017 JAMA Psychiatry study, show structured breathwork reduces anxiety symptoms by 30–40%, rivaling some medications. By demystifying concepts like vagal tone and neuroplasticity, the author illustrates how consistent practice can rewire the brain’s stress responses—a process as trainable as building muscle.

 
The book stands out for its precision, offering tailored routines like 90-second “reset” breaths for crises or 10-minute morning practices for mood stabilization. It debunks myths (not all breathing methods work equally) and compares protocols—coherent breathing for long-term resilience versus box breathing for acute stress. Practical chapters adapt techniques for offices, sleep, or chronic conditions, supported by real-world examples like teachers managing classroom stress. Diagrams simplify complex biology, while a 21-day plan encourages gradual habit formation. Unlike generic advice, Deep Breathing Upside blends clinical rigor with relatable guidance, positioning breath not as an involuntary reflex but as a free, evidence-based tool to reclaim control over body and mind.

    A raw, often wry, memoir of mothers, mysteries, and miracles. 
Surrendered at birth in a closed adoption, Candi Byrne's biology and ethnicity are a secret. The impending arrival of her first grandchild ignites an urgency to identify potential genetic time bombs and confirm her ancestry. Due to arcane privacy laws, Candi is repeatedly denied access to the one person who could provide that information--her biological mother. 
After years of failed attempts, she resigns herself to never learning the truth about her roots; that is, until her ninety-year-old Aunt Delores has a vision and insists Candi resume efforts to find her birth family. Candi is gobsmacked when an internet search she's performed thousands of times before suddenly reveals her birth mother's identity. Within hours, she ends up on the doorstep of her birth mother--a place she's sworn never to visit. 
After a series of guilt-driven interactions with "Those People," as she refers to her maternal birth family, Candi terminates contact. Although the reunion proves disastrous, it opens her eyes to truths about her relationship with her adoptive mother, Delphine. Though their relationship was difficult and contentious during Delphine's life, a series of miraculous experiences after her death guides Candi home to herself--where, she learns, she has belonged all along.
