Synopsis

10th Anniversary EditionFor generations, we've been taught to fear the cold... And while there are consequences to extreme cold exposure, with proper training, anyone can thrive in the cold and learn the lessons it has to teach. You may recognize Wim Hof from TV specials or YouTube clips; you might have seen him running barefoot above the Arctic Circle or swimming in ice-cold waters.While performing these incredible feats, Wim remained warm, comfortable, and centered, establishing himself as epitome of what is possible when someone uses the cold as a tool to train their body. Scientists became fascinated with Wim -- was he a genetic anomaly, the proof of evolution, or something else entirely? Well, in fall of 2009, college student Justin Rosales decided to follow in Wim's footsteps to discover if he, too, could conquer the cold. In this dual-perspective autobiography, Justin and Wim's lives intersect as they share their journeys and methods for becoming Icemen -- and prove that it's possible for you, too.More Information:www.BecomingTheIceman.com

Many of his feats are so out there they are difficult to believe without seeing video evidence. Unfortunately, neit......more

Wim Hof is one of my greatest inspirations. I was so happy he wrote a book and it does a great job inspiring and convincing people that they too can achieve what Wim Hof has. He's not a superhuman, he has had a strategy all along which can be used by others.......more

** the reference 'how to' text for the Wim Hof method for beginners** I am going to give this book 4.5 stars because — not in spite of — the stylistic challenges that frustrated many readers. Paul Theroux, the literary travel writer (and inveterate snob) loved to complain that the greatest travel and......more

Goodreads review by Luke on May 09, 2021

Ingenuous journal entries of Wim Hoff, the Dutch Man who has trained himself to handle extreme cold and a wide-eyed Midwestern kid trying to build the same. It is endearing, especially thinking back on my first trips to Europe and how similar my thoughts would’ve been as the kid. Some heartfelt mome......more
