Things mentioned in the session:
Breath by James Nestor (book) [I've read it and I recommend it]
The Oxygen Advantage by Patrick McKeown (book) [I've not read it but it's referenced in Breath]
The reason I was nodding when Steven mentioned Patrick McKeown is because I saw his Tedx talk ( • Shut your Mouth and Change your Life ... ) a while ago and have tried to show a bunch of people it, with no one being quite as enthusiastic as I was :D
