Picture of the book, The Wim Hof Method - Activate Your Potential, Transcend Your Limits

Summary

An inspirational and practical book that chronicles Wim's life. You'll learn his three-pillar approach to improve health and perfomance.

Review

I expected heroic tales of the 'Iceman' and insights into breathing techniques, cold exposure and positive mindset. What I didn't expect were the tragic events Wim and his family faced, along with the honest admittance of what helped Wim to heal his broken heart and process grief.

Wim Hof humbly acknowledges the long history of breath work and has volunteered his body to science on many occasions to prove/document the benefits of his three-pillar approach.

At the end of most chapters you're provided with step-by-step instructions on how to apply what you've just read, such as breathing exercises, interoception, ice baths and cold plunges.

Content Warning: Contains strong language and sensitive themes

Recommendation

The Wim Hof method breathing is my go to breathing exercise, I love it! I'd highly recommend looking into the Cold, Breathing and Mind techniques provided my Wim Hof. If you're looking to check-in with your body, the 'breath holds' can provide a unique moment of peace and clarity as you bring your attention to sensations in your body, noticing your heart beat and any tension your holding.
