During a routine journalistic trip to Greece, James Nestor saw something that left him utterly confused: a man dived to a depth of 100 meters (the height of a thirty-story building) in one breath and returned four minutes later, unharmed and smiling. Could this be a scam? Or do freedivers have superhuman abilities? But the author was surprised to discover the skill of deep diving and not breathing for several minutes in himself. This revelation was the beginning of a major investigation, which Nestor recounts in his book. As he dives deeper and deeper into the ocean, he observes whales, seals, and sharks - but above all, people who expand our ideas of what is possible. The depth, it turns out, is hidden in each of us: incredible abilities are embedded deep in our minds and our genes.
