About the Author

Wim Hof, a.k.a. "The Iceman," holds multiple world records for his feats of endurance and exposure to cold--such as climbing Mount Kilimanjaro wearing only shorts and shoes, running a barefoot half-marathon in the Arctic Circle, and standing in an ice-filled container for more than 112 minutes. Having been taught by the majestic natural power of the cold, Wim is on a mission to share his discoveries with the world. The benefits of his method, now practiced by millions, have been validated by eight university research studies. He has been featured on the BBC, VICE Media, Discovery Channel, and Joe Rogan, Tim Ferris, and School of Greatness podcasts. For more, visit wimhofmethod.com.

I warmly recommend it." ---Gabor Mate, MD, author of When the Body Says No "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 bestselling author of Breath "If you had to read one book on how to feel great, this is it.

I've been doing his method religiously because it works." --Jesse Itzler, serial entrepreneur, bestselling author, endurance athlete, and an owner of the Atlanta Hawks "With the bombastic certainty of a man obsessed, Wim Hof offers scientific curiosities worthy of further investigation, as well as groundbreaking self-healing tools worth experimenting with yourself, especially if conventional medicine has failed to help you." --Lissa Rankin, MD, New York Times bestselling author of Mind Over Medicine "The Wim Hof Method allows us to cultivate our body and mind in ways that release our potential for greater health and vitality.

Breathe in, chill out, and enjoy the ride." --Patrick McKeown, author of The Oxygen Advantage "This book fortifies that the mind is the most powerful tool we possess; however, very few use it like Mr. Wim Hof.
