In New York she turned into Carola Speads, revered teacher of mindfulness. She breathed with clients in her Central Park West studio until she was 97 years old. Now Christoph Ribbat combines her gripping biography with the histories of modern bodywork and breathing experiments. He illuminates the tension between self-help fads and 20th century catastrophes. Accessible and quirky, Breathing in Manhattan speaks to experts and non-experts alike: to readers of Jewish history, students of New York City, and to anyone attracted by - or skeptical of - the promises of mindfulness.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: DEItem Height: 23mmItem Length: 15mmAuthor: Christoph RibbatGenre: HistoryBook Series: Culture & TheoryTopic: Society & Culture, Philosophy & Spirituality, Personal DevelopmentItem Width: 1mmItem Weight: 198gRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
