I strongly recommend the book referenced in the article. I finished reading it a few weeks ago and is a fascinating coverage of various hypotheses regarding the connection between proper breathing and health. I'm still experimenting with some of the items from the book, but it's a good read for anyone interested in self-hacking.

What an overcomplicated load of baloney. If you become aware that you’re scared, stressed or overactive and distracted, do some 4-4-4-4 box method breathing until your mind calms down. The end. Just saved you having to remember this stupid acronym and this “ransom decision” nonsense. What’s more, it’s a proven technique that’s used by military personnel in life or death scenarios, as opposed to whoever this person is who’s claiming to have “10,000 learning cycles” of self discipline, whatever the fuck that means.
