THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING PHENOMENOM 'I've never felt so alive' JOE WICKS 'The book will change your life' BEN FOGLE My hope is to inspire you to retake control of your body and life by unleashing the immense power of the mind. 'The Iceman' Wim Hof shares his remarkable life story and powerful method for supercharging your strength, health and happiness. Refined over forty years and championed by scientists across the globe, you'll learn how to harness three key elements of Cold, Breathing and Mindset to master mind over matter and achieve the impossible. 'Wim is a legend of the power ice has to heal and empower' BEAR GRYLLS 'Thor-like and potent...Wim has radioactive charisma' RUSSELL BRAND
Science has now proved that the legendary Wim Hof Method of breath control and cold-training can dramatically enhance energy levels, improve circulation, reduce stress, boost the immune system, strengthen the body and successfully combat many diseases. While Wim Hof himself has run marathons in -30 C in shorts, swum hundreds of meters under the ice, sat in a tank of ice for 90 minutes without his core temperature changing and boosted his metabolism by over 300%, The Way of The Iceman documents how anyone can use Wim's methods to transform their health and strength, quickly and safely. "After teaching specialized breathing techniques to SEALs for years, helping them focus, stay warm in the cold ocean and get centered in combat, I can attest to the authenticity and power of Wim Hof's methods. Wim Hof is providing a great service with his new book The Way of The Iceman by bringing breath training and simple, powerful health practices into mainstream consciousness." -- Mark Divine, US Navy SEAL (ret), Founder SEALFIT, Best selling author of Unbeatable Mind and Way of the SEAL "I am continuously searching for ways to expand my mind, body and spirit--Wim Hof and The Way of The Iceman have done just that! He shows us that human potential is limitless and we are ALL capable of anything we set our minds to." -- Lewis Howes, New York Times bestselling author of The School of Greatness "What fascinates me most about Wim Hof's method is the potential application for athletes...the science in this book shows that we can all amplify our recovery, maximize our pain tolerance, massively jack up energy levels and even learn to control inflammation...and it can be done without resorting to toxic drugs. In fact, the system outlined in this manual might just be the key to producing a generation of enhanced but drug-free athletes." -- Paul "Coach" Wade, author of Convict Conditioning "Inspiration inspires. What I like most about Wim and his book is how he taught me to trust my body, overcome fear and give me the best opportunity for success. He mixes personal experience and science--which becomes truly motivating. Wim provides the tools you need to master self-discipline, gain courage and live a vibrant life. He is Aquaman and Tony Robbins rolled into one. He is The Iceman!" -- Jesse Itzler, author of Living With A SEAL "Homo sapiens is a species that is uniquely and tragically ill-adapted to our environment. Maladies ranging from heart disease to diabetes to autoimmune disorders are generated by the mismatch between the natural world we evolved to live in and the artificial realms in which we find ourselves today. Wim Hof's teachings show us how to recalibrate our bodies in a way that recognizes the extremes of our natural environment as teachers to be celebrated and consulted, rather than enemies to be insulated against. Wim's deepest insights resonate with our hunter-gatherer ancestors, who understood the wisdom of adapting to the natural world rather than trying to dominate and control it." -- Christopher Ryan, PhD., New York Times best-selling author of Sex at Dawn "We live in a chaotic modern world with daily assaults on our health from frenetic schedules, poor sleep, high stress, chronic disease, and infectious illness. Our brain and nervous system have been highjacked by this toxic environment, always on high alert with real consequences to our physical and mental health. With The Way of The Iceman, Wim Hof has given a profound gift to public health. The science is solid and the results actual and measureable. As you follow his remarkable life story it is readily apparent that this man is no charlatan or snake oil salesman. Through years of commitment and self-experimentation, Wim has empirically figured out how to exert significant control over the autonomic nervous system, a feat once thought impossible. His method has held up to scrutiny under the dispassionate lens of science, expanding our knowledge of what is possible with dedicated training in what is now known as the Wim Hof Method. Deceptively simple, and incredibly powerful, The Way of the Icemangives you not only the scientific framework, but actionable steps you can implement to take back control over your high-jacked brain, increase resilience from illness, and start healing yourself from the inside out. The Wim Hof Method has become a cornerstone in my personal daily wellness plan, and as a public health physician, I cannot recommend it highly enough." --Dr. Chris Hardy, D.O. MPH, CSCS, Public Health Physician, Integrative Medicine Specialist "The Way of The Iceman is one of only two books in my life that I have read cover to cover the first time I put my hands on it. What won me over was the simplicity of the explanations of diabetes, inflammation and the family of modern ills. Moreover, the discussion on diet, just a brief mention of 'Fast-Five, ' is the first time I actually understood not only how inflammation is such an issue, but a means to deal with it. This book is the missing link for most of us: the discussion of breathing is so simple, yet so doable; coaches and athletes will understand a newer and simpler means of recovery. Nothing in the book is over the top and we are talking about a guy who swims under ice. The method is so simple, yet so elegant. It's marvelous and I think you will apply the techniques immediately." -- Daniel John, author of Never Let Go "Wim Hof has learned to control his physiology in a way rarely seen in human history. This book takes his extraordinary techniques and simplifies them so you can optimize your health and wellness. I recommend you learn the unique methods Wim has mastered in order to add vitality to your body and life." -- Chad Waterbury, neurophysiologist, author The Muscle Revolution "I found The Way of The Iceman absolutely fascinating! Many of us are familiar with the numerous benefits of cold training, such as increased energy levels, better circulation and improved mood, but nothing on the subject has ever been presented of this magnitude before! The legend himself, Wim Hof, along with Koen De Jong, share not only a detailed account of Mr. Hof's lifetime achievements (such as running a marathon in the Arctic... in just a pair of shorts!), but also practical, actionable methods that anyone can employ. This book has everything from progressive cold submersion methods to breathing techniques. It delves into meditation and spirituality, but also presents the hard science to back it up. Any fan of physical culture or anybody curious about how far the human limits can be pushed needs to add this to their library." -- Danny Kavadlo, author of Strength Rules "Wim Hof's techniques healed my gut where nothing else would. And I tried everything. The Way of The Iceman should be required reading. The world is just beginning to realize the extraordinary gift we have in Wim Hof." -- Mark Joyner, founder of Simpleology "As someone who enjoys bare-chested, outdoor winter calisthenics workouts, Wim Hof's extreme cold weather feats immediately appealed to me. The Wim Hof Method is so simple that anyone can get started right away. And the results are so palpable that once you start, you'll almost certainly want to keep going." -- Al Kavadlo, author of Street Workout and Pushing The Limits! "Wim Hof first came across my radar a few years ago when I heard of a crazy Dutchman defying the laws of thermodynamics. How could a man submerge himself in freezing water for prolonged periods of time without hypothermia? How was it possible for his body temperature to stay the same during the process? This book is an enlightening look into the nervous system, and the amazing power of the mind. Don't mistake this for simple 'cold therapy' although that is a piece of the puzzle. This book will give you a front row seat to an education on the nervous system, and how one man and his disciples have learned to control it in a way that we previously thought was impossible. I found The Way of The Iceman fascinating." -- Max Shank, founder of Ultimate Athleticism and author of Master The Kettlebell "When I read The Way of The Iceman I was struck with awe and hope! Wim has brought scientific evidence to what I personally believe and have been teaching my students for years about breathing, bioenergetics and our connection to the spirit world. By demystifying the religious Wim is helping to support a Truth in the New World; mainly that spirituality without science descends into superstition, and science without spirituality degrades humanity into the meaninglessness of materialism." -- Elliott Hulse "Wim Hof makes the seemingly mystical and extraordinary, ridiculously easy to access. Anyone who is willing to explore the latent powers of deep breathing and imagination will feast upon his unique story and his method of overpowering the unconquerable elements of nature."--Matt Furey, author of Combat Conditioning "What lies within this book is the key to accessing power whenever and wherever on demand. A tool to transcend consciousness and tap into the highest version of yourself. Never have I experienced anything that allowed me to instantly shift vibration and release such energy."--AJ Roberts, Fitness Hall of Fame and All-Time World Record Holder
In a world with so much information that is continually thrown at us, sometimes it’s tough to know what to accept as Truth and what to reject as false. So many things call for our attention that we can become mentally strained and exhausted by the end of the day. Because of this, we are susceptible to the coaxing idea of giving up our thinking, especially our critical thinking. We know we can’t think about every little thing and decision that crosses our mind throughout the day, so we have many of our thoughts on auto-pilot – which is fine, as this helps us from becoming absolutely drained by the end of our day. The problem arises when we let this auto-thinking expand beyond the everyday task level of thinking and decision-making. Out of comfort, we can allow ideas and words that flash before us throughout our daily lives, to merge into our inner brain’s reservoir without first weighing the information against our experiences and own inner knowledge of our understanding of the Truth. This is essential when we let others that generate ideas, thoughts, agendas, etc. think for ourselves because we simply feel too overloaded with the amount of information, we have to continually process that we give up our own free right to ponder something. It's quite scary when we think about the ramifications that can come of this, especially when the world today shows us that those that don’t think for themselves, are perfect subjects to a form of modern-day slavery to whatever ideas and reality the powers want to build up. This is why it's so important to take the time to invest in ourselves from the beginning and make learning, reading, and curiosity a habit. It takes time but the earlier we begin, the more time we save in the long run from having to put great time and attention into each thought that enters our mind and decide whether it fits with our values or not. We must be like children, constantly questioning the world and using our forged experiences to add to our answers and depth of self-knowledge. In the same manner, we must respectfully study and learn from all those who have gone before us and be open to learning about their ways and perspectives. Remember that knowledge is not solely subjective; it is also objective and is the understanding of a real, concrete thing under the aspect of a grasped meaning. We use our intellect to study and think rationally about things, which adds to our understanding of the truth about ourselves, our community, and our world. The choices that we make are dependent upon our will (whether good or bad), which is in turn dependent upon our understanding of the truth. Man is the only animal that can say “I eat, and I know that I eat. I am, and I know that I am. I think, and I know that I think.” To know, we must think critically about subjects that truly hold value. We must make the most of our intellect and discover new data from our experiments from biohacking to add to our knowledge in the search for the truth that propels all of us, humans, forward to the beat of Life’s constant drum. “If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth, only soft soap, and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair.” - C.S. Lewis

What Doesn't Kill Us, a New York Times bestseller, traces our evolutionary journey back to a time when survival depended on how well we adapted to the environment around us. Our ancestors crossed deserts, mountains, and oceans without even a whisper of what anyone today might consider modern technology. Those feats of endurance now seem impossible in an age where we take comfort for granted. But what if we could regain some of our lost evolutionary strength by simulating the environmental conditions of our ancestors? Investigative journalist and anthropologist Scott Carney takes up the challenge to find out: Can we hack our bodies and use the environment to stimulate our inner biology? Helping him in his search for the answers is Dutch fitness guru Wim Hof, whose ability to control his body temperature in extreme cold has sparked a whirlwind of scientific study. Carney also enlists input from an Army scientist, a world-famous surfer, the founders of an obstacle course race movement, and ordinary people who have documented how they have cured autoimmune diseases, lost weight, and reversed diabetes. In the process, he chronicles his own transformational journey as he pushes his body and mind to the edge of endurance, a quest that culminates in a record-bending, 28-hour climb to the snowy peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro wearing nothing but a pair of running shorts and sneakers. An ambitious blend of investigative reporting and participatory journalism, What Doesn’t Kill Us explores the true connection between the mind and the body and reveals the science that allows us to push past our perceived limitations.

In so many ways, our lives are easier than ever. We’re sheltered from the elements our ancestors braved daily. We don’t need to grow, hunt, or gather our food, nor do we ever need to feel hungry for more than a few hours. We can immerse ourselves in digital entertainment that stimulates us in ways our great grandparents never could have imagined. And yet we’re unhappy. There were over 45,000 suicides and over 100,000 drug overdoses in America in 2021, and surveys have been consistently showing that we’re the unhappiest we’ve been in decades since before the pandemic. This is the problem of ease. We’re drowning in pleasure, and yet so many of us seem unable to bear one minute without it. We’re more comfortable than ever, and less able to handle discomforts our ancestors would have found trivial. Grit is an antidote to this problem, an exploration of the value of chosen suffering. In a time when we’re so comfortable some people wonder whether we even need grit anymore, this book is a meditation on the virtue of it. Grit is a roadmap for anyone looking to escape the suffocation of ease. It’s a blueprint for tapping into the natural antifragility of the human mind and body. Along the way, you’ll learn about the power of habit, the role of external environment, risk, fear, courage, and more. Grit will teach you new ways to challenge yourself physically and mentally, from fasting, to exercise, to cold exposure, to memorizing poetry. Drawing on philosophy, psychology, and experience, Ben Connelly will show you not only why a good life requires chosen suffering, but how and what to choose.
Regular cold-water immersion can improve your physical health and emotional well-being. Whether you are an elite athlete, a bio-hacker, a health and fitness enthusiast, or someone who is trying to reboot your immune system, cold water might be the missing piece to enhance your results. However, if you live in a warm climate, what options do you have? Cold showers are a good place to start, but do not provide consistent temperatures year-round, and most people find them to be uncomfortable at best. Buying and hauling ice gets expensive and takes a lot of time. Cryotherapy chambers are inconvenient and expensive. Commercially built cold plunges can cost several thousand - or tens of thousands - of dollars. So, what is a great solution for the average person? Convert a chest freezer into a cold plunge! However, chest freezers are not meant to hold water. Creating a personal cold plunge from a chest freezer is fraught with potential problems and missteps. If you don't set it up correctly, you can damage or break your chest freezer, waste hundreds of dollars and countless hours of time, or worse, injure yourself. After two years of research and modifications and helping more than 1,500 people from 72 countries in a private online group, John Richter has created a guide book that helps you convert a chest freezer into a cold plunge while avoiding costly mistakes and frustration. The Ultimate Chest Freezer Cold Plunge DIY Guide helps you: - Select the best chest freezer - Design options for various budgets - Prevent rust and other damage- Choose equipment for easy use and maintenance- Keep your water clean- with or without chemicals- Be safe- Set the optimal temperature- Create a cold-water practice- Find the best training- Avoid costly mistakes- And much more Each chapter is easy to read and offers step-by-step directions. The book includes a buyer's guide, setup checklist, and a FAQ that answers more than 50 questions. This book is a must-have for professional athletes, students of the Wim Hof Method, followers of Dr. Jack Kruze, and anyone else who wants to take the benefits of cold training to the next level.
