Breathe Better, Live in Wellness: Winning Your Battle Over Shortness of Breath, by Jane M. Martin is the second edition of her first edition, formerly titled Inspirations: Stories of Breathing Better and Living Well. Breathe Better has been restructured, having a section for each of several lung disorders and life issues, making this book more reader friendly. Jane has also added “billboard” like boxes with definitions, hints, and links corresponding with each specific subject matter. This helps readers quickly find resources so they can research the topics of greatest concern to them.
Good, solid information is always most helpful, but moreover, Breathe Better includes additional stories and even more assurance for those people with breathing problems. Jane’s sensitivity and concern for those with COPD and other chronic lung diseases shines forth from cover to cover. Filled with encouragement and hope shared through stories of everyday people coping with pulmonary disease, this book is a must read for not only those experiencing problems, but also for friends and family. I highly recommend this book.
