Why could I have. not read this. sooner! I have been so overwhelmed with the massive amount of information available on healthy living. I have read so much conflicting advice; I was looking to get back to the basics. Dr. Michael Breus, author of Sleep Drink Breathe. takes the reader on a journey of mastering the essential components of healthy living. He provides a guideline to master these three components of life in a easy to read and actionable manner. I love that he provides the key takeaways at the end of the chapters. I also love the three week plan he provides to master each component. I look forward to completing the program and incorporating his advice into my daily habits.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book and provide my honest feedback.

This was a really approachable and insightful read. I think this concept can sometimes be overcomplicated and inundated with scientific terminology that is either not explained at all or really not explained well. So, all that to say this is a very well-written and well-explained book. I highly recommend it, especially for those around my age who are just starting to see the effects of "early aging" !!!!

Thank you to NetGalley for the eARC.

Well-written and breaks down the importance
of simple health endeavors - how we breathe, sleep and drink- in forming a foundation for health in all
other areas. The book offers suggestions and a detailed plan for improving our habits in these critical areas. I found this book informative and readable.

"Sleep Drink Breathe: Simple Daily Habits for Profound Long-Term Health" by Michael Breus is a game-changer in the realm of wellness literature. I found it full of actionable tips to improve my sleep and overall well-being and enjoyed the focus on small changes that I can make to my daily routine to have a big impact on my health in the long run.

The book’s strength lies in its simplicity and structure. The writing is clear and easy to understand, even for a non-expert like me. Breus does a great job breaking down complex science into simple ideas you can actually use. Each chapter focuses on a single aspect of daily health—sleep, hydration, breathing—and offers actionable tips that don’t feel overwhelming.

Breus expertly weaves together scientific insights with real-life examples, making the content relatable and inspiring. The book’s holistic approach ensures that readers not only understand the importance of these habits but also feel motivated to implement them consistently.

What sets this book apart is its emphasis on long-term health rather than quick fixes. Breus’s advice is sustainable, making it perfect for those seeking to improve their well-being gradually and effectively. I highly recommend "Sleep Drink Breathe" to anyone looking to make meaningful, lasting changes to their health. I've already started using some of the techniques and I can tell a difference. My energy levels are up and I feel more focused during the day.

It is a great guide for anyone serious about living a healthier, more balanced life.

I can not even begin to say enough good things about this book. It was wonderfully done! I love a great self help book and this one was one of the best I've ever read. So many great points brought up.

I cannot think of a better book to give to someone to introduce them to the world of wellness. Sleep Drink Breath creates the most foundational building blocks to good health. Once these three pillars are established and perfected, readers are encouraged to expand their wellness journey. The language is beginner-friendly and not intimidating. It is a great start for anyone interested in becoming a better version of themselves.

As someone who has more experience in the wellness space, I don’t think this book has a lot to offer me since most of these concepts are basic. I believe the book would have benefited with more statistical analysis and data instead of Dr. Breus’s personal anecdotes of his patients.

I really appreciate how this book has a three week routine that breaks down everything a new explorer can try to establish better health in the three categories. It breaks down what activities to complete at every part of the day and it is based on the reader’s personal chronotype. I really enjoyed taking the quiz to see what chronotype I am (bear), but I do think the quiz should’ve been included in the book rather than linked to Breu’s personal website.

Thought it might sound simple, the author of "Sleep Drink Breathe" has done the research and come up with a plan to help anyone who follows it to thrive. I practiced the breathing exercises yesterday and felt so much clearer and energized. I am going to do the 3-week plan next and see what results are possible. Highly recommended. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

Do we really need to learn how to do this? YES! And here is a very comprehensive manual complete with the hows and the whys we should aim for doing what should be instinctual but often gets forgotten in our daily lives. It might be more detail than some readers might want to page through, but the layout is very easy to accommodate any type of reader.
