Publisher's summary

The only definitive work authored by Wim Hof on his powerful method for realizing our physical and spiritual potential.

Narrated by Olympic and world champion short track speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno.

“This method is very simple, very accessible, and endorsed by science. Anybody can do it, and there is no dogma, only acceptance. Only freedom.” (Wim Hof)

Wim Hof has a message for each of us: “You can literally do the impossible. You can overcome disease, improve your mental health and physical performance, and even control your physiology so you can thrive in any stressful situation.” With The Wim Hof Method, this trailblazer of human potential shares a method that anyone can use - young or old, sick or healthy - to supercharge their capacity for strength, vitality, and happiness.

Wim has become known as “The Iceman” for his astounding physical feats, such as spending hours in freezing water and running barefoot marathons over deserts and ice fields. Yet his most remarkable achievement is not any record-breaking performance - it is the creation of a method that thousands of people have used to transform their lives.

In his gripping and passionate style, Wim shares his story and the three pillars of his method:

• Breath - His unique practices to change your body chemistry, infuse yourself with energy, and focus your mind
• Cold - Safe, controlled, shock-free practices for using cold exposure to enhance your cardiovascular system and awaken your body’s untapped strength
• Mindset - Build your willpower, inner clarity, sensory awareness, and innate joyfulness in the miracle of living

Wim Hof is a man on a mission: to transform the way we live by reminding us of our true power and purpose. “This is how we will change the world, one soul at a time,” Wim says. “We alter the collective consciousness by awakening to our own boundless potential. We are limited only by the depth of our imagination and the strength of our conviction.”

Critic reviews

“Wim Hof is a man of extraordinary talents who demonstrates great control of involuntary physiological functions, developed by learning to tolerate exposure to cold and by working with the breath. He has taught the Wim Hof Method to many people, and in this book he explains it in detail. Recommended reading for everyone interested in human potentials.” (Andrew Weil, MD, director of the University of Arizona Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine, author of 8 Weeks to Optimum Health)

“Wim Hof has inspired millions of people to use just their bodies and breath to heat, then heal, themselves of a laundry list of chronic illnesses. Dubious, you say? I certainly thought so, until I discovered the real scientific research from real scientists around the world proving these ‘impossible’ claims were in fact true. This book is a valuable guide to anyone looking to take better control of the health, heat, and untapped potential locked away within us all.” (James Nestor, New York Times best-selling author of Breath)

“Wim Hof’s program has become an essential part of my daily regimen for self-care and grounding. I warmly recommend it.” ­(Gabor Maté, MD, author of When the Body Says No)

Liked the back story of Wim

Interesting and easy to listen too. A lot of the exercises can be found on the website or app but it was nice to get a lot of back story. I'm not sure how similar this is to his other books it's the only one I've listened to/read.

Can be a life changer . . .

This book has the potential to change lives for those that are willing make the change.

mind blowing and life changing.

I have fallen in love with the Wim Hof Method! in the past few days i have taken cold showers and practiced his breathing guided work. phenomenon. I don't know if its placebo, but I feel energized and so ready!

Find Your Cold

The Wim Hof Method is remarkable. In a nutshell, it's a physiological kick to spiritual practice, but it's also more than that. I truly believe I am healthier, and I know for sure I am happier and filled with love, peace, and joy through the practice. I hope you find that too!

Amazing book

I’ve never heard of wim before this book caught my eye. Learnt a whole lot and can’t wait to put the method into practice. Just a great book.

Mind Blowing!

I listened to this book out of curiosity and was surprised to find that the information in this book can be life changing. Only if you listen to the words of Wim Hof. And his instructions don't cost anything more than a small amount of time. Breathe MF. Cold Immersion is optional as well according to Wim. Breathe. Just Breathe!

Empowering

A must read to change and improve your life! Breathe mother f@ckers! An empowering read!

A truly great book

Started doing the Wim Hof method last week because I'm sick of catching a cold all the time. So I decided to listen to this book to know a bit more and I'm grateful that I did, there is so much more to this than just another method. He shares all the hidden truths he found and backs it up with science! Highly recommend this to anyone doing or consider doing his method, or anyone with an open mind for that matter

Thank you Wim

The Narrator sounds great he’s into the topic. The Wim Hof Method has been somewhat I have been into for a few years and have been intrigued by the science behind it. If there is sense of meaning in your life that you feel your not for filling this is the guide.

Big believer of the wim hoff

Before the book I was already practicing wim hof. I was looking for a deeper understanding of the methods and practices as well as a history of the man himself. The book delivered on all points.
