I’m an author and journalist who has written for Scientific American, Outside Magazine, BBC, The New York Times, The Atlantic, National Public Radio, The San Francisco Chronicle, Surfer's Journal, and more. I’ve spent the last several years working on a book called Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art. It released through Riverhead/Penguin Random House on May 26, 2020 and spent 18 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and sold more than two million copies worldwide to date. Breath was an instant Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Sunday London Times Top 10 bestseller and hit the lists in Spain, Germany, Croatia, and Italy along the way.
