Inspirational. Positive. Upbeat. Wim invites one and all to jump start our souls. I purchased two copies, one for myself and one for my father. After watching several videos featuring Wim, Dad insisted on reading Wim's book. At 98 years of age, Dad recently finished the 10 day crash course. He's pissed off that where he lives in Texas the showers aren't cold enough. Dad tells anyone who will listen that world leaders should put Wim up on the podium to tell folks how to properly boost their immune systems. One last aside, Dad has never tolerated "foul language" - for Wim Hof, however, Dad has given a free pass, stating, "The man has had to deal with a lot of skeptics." - Don't just think of yourself when you get this book - the road to health and vigor must be taken by all.

I’ve wanted to read this book ever since I heard an interview with Wim on a podcast. Wim has broken ground on the understanding of breath and life as well as cold and life. We have become so soft in our modern age with all the comforts and conveniences that we miss the value of slowing down and taking the time to breathe and learn the value of cold. When we expose our bodies to cold for brief periods it opens up the primal modes of survival. And, it opens up our minds. It increases our immune system and stress disintegrates. It’s the same with breathing and getting the oxygen to our brains. With the oxygen comes the healing. But this only scratches the surface. Wim goes into the scientific verification of his methods. There is something for all of us in this book. Read the book to learn more.

I am a Christian and follower of Jesus Christ and I find the breathing and cold therapy to be valuable for my wellbeing. I do not agree with Wim on all the Eastern conclusions but I do find it extremely important to walk in love as he points out. There is much for us human beings to learn.

If you already know who Wim Hof is, you may know much of his story already too. If you don't, and are curious about this remarkable man, this is as good an introduction as you're likely to find.
Although I am a practitioner of his method, this review isn't a critique of whether it works or doesn't. This is a review of the book. And the book is good. An easy read, but full of so much wisdom born of experience, both positive and negative. It's hard not to feel Wim's infectious enthusiasm coming right off the page. In addition to full explanations of the three components of his method, there's also quite a bit about his life. What formed his approach, his motivation for wanting to peer into places most people tend to avoid. You'll come away knowing more about the man himself, and it may indeed motivate you to begin your own practice.
This is a really enjoyable work by a genuinely unique human being. You will learn much about him, and it's entirely possible, about yourself as well. Recommended.

Amazing story and fantastic method.

If you just want to try out the Wim Hof method, download the free app and follow the instructions there, you don't need to pay for this book or do any paid courses.

You can get a little taste by doing the basic breathing exercise once, it only takes 4-20 minutes, depending on how many rounds you do. After that you can decide if you want to go for more. Although there isn't much more, except a bit more breathing and cold water showers. The key, and the real hard part, is the commitment to make a habit out of it and do it regularly, that's also when you get the most benefits.

Anyway, if you've already tried the method, or you just don't care about it but want to learn more about the backstory and the guy who came up with it, I highly recommend this book.

It's a fascinating read. It feels almost like listening to Wim Hof telling his story in his own words. Super inspiring and lots of cool things to try out and practice.

He does become a bit repetitive towards the end, and he does talk a lot about the soul, what he believes society should move towards and other stuff that are his personal points of view and which you might not necessarily agree with. It's fine with me, but it could be offputting to some people if all they care about is the method (WHM) or his back story.

I enjoyed this book because I will not likely go to one of his retreats to experience this method with a group of people but I wanted to support Wim in his efforts to get the word out about his method. I read What Doesn't Kill Us by Scott Carney and then watched several podcasts and videos about Wim. I've been taking cold showers for over a year and have truly enjoyed the experience more than I would have imagined. This book gave insight into several breathing techniques that can go along with it. If I picked this book up without having seen or heard about Wim, I might not feel the same connection as I did by having some prior knowledge. I would encourage you to watch a video or podcast before getting the book, and then purchasing the book and giving the method a shot. The book didn't have as much science as I would have liked, but you get more of his individual story, some additional breathing suggestions and a few more anecdotes about scientific research to go along with his conversational, expressive tone. Overall a good read!

I started reading this book as a skeptic. Now after a full month of using his methods I'm a believer. what he teaches is real and tangible. The cold water is unbelievably easy and opens my body to be free from pain. The breathing he teaches is healing my body with every breath I take. Try this book for yourself and follow his methods and it will change your life.

Im working through long covid for 2 years now and my sister made me promise to read this as it really helped her husband with his health, depression and anxiety. So I got this book and dove in... after the 1st breathing session I felt noticably better as did the asthma and cranky lungs. I then got going on the cold showers and very soon cold plunges. It's all made a big difference and I'm healing faster. I was riveted reading this and his life story... so encouraging. The premise he discusses that you can use breathwork, power of the mind and cold to heal the body from sickness blew mind. It's a paradigm shift and if your searching for help this will make you stronger. Plenty of science in here, just the right mix of stories and science. One of my all time favs, I'm fixing to read again soon. Get this!

I started with the breathing and noticed a change within a week. After a week, I started cold showers . First 15 seconds, now in second week at 1 minute. I do breathing 1st, then shower. Learning to relax makes shower easier. I feel like a different person with more stamina.

Reviewed in Canada on December 6, 2021
Well-written book detailing the origins and methodology of the Wim Hof method. I started implementing the cold therapy and breathing technique about 3 weeks ago. From day one I can actually say my life has changed: my energy is through the roof from morning til night. I feel alive and amazingly GOOD! My aches and pains have completely disappeared. My arthritic knee has cleared up which is a godsend - physio and a $600 injection I had in Spring did nothing. I've gone from feeling and moving like an old lady to a state of invigorated well-being. This method is not a mere fad or some far-fetched goofy idea - it is scientifically proven and its incredibly easy and uncomplicated to do. I've just started using the method to lose weight and Im very hopeful it will be successful. I can't recommend this book highly enough.
