Wellington Square Bookshop · June 5, 2026

Discover how Tibetan monks generate enough internal heat to melt snow around their bodies during hours of freezing exposure—and explore what James Nestor reveals about Tummo breathing techniques, the Wim Hof Method, and the remarkable capacities of human physiology that modern science is only beginning to understand. This conversation probes the gap between documented abilities and current scientific explanation, inviting you into the mystery of what our breath and conscious attention might actually be capable of.
