Champion freediver Herbert Nitsch’s book “Breathing Is Overrated: An Autobiography About Human Potential, A Pioneering Spirit and the Deepest Dive On a Single Breath” is now available for purchase.
The book dives into the mind and methods of a revolutionary world champion freediver, the only person to set world records across all of the sport’s disciplines. It also provides insights into a winning mentality, managing risks, stroke recovery, restoration of memory and motor skills, natural healing, self-motivation and unconventional thinking.
The book chronicles Nitsch’s entire freediving career, including his quest to complete a world-record, no-limits dive to 253m/830ft on a single breath, as well as the aftermath that resulted in severe decompression sickness and brain strokes, leaving him unable to walk, speak or care for himself.
Nitsch also describes the recovery methods he used over the next two years to be able to regain his fitness and start freediving again.
