Synopsis

Creative adventurer and wellness podcast host Libby DeLana illuminates the many physical, mental, and spiritual benefits of cold water.For most of her life, Libby DeLana believed she hated the cold—fear of cold became part of her identity. Then, in the midst of a period of deep personal inquiry, an impromptu dip in icy water cracked something open in her heart, forcing her to reexamine the limiting stories she told herself. If she could learn to love cold, what other beautiful life experiences might await?

In Cold Joy, an all-levels guide to cold plunging, DeLana shares her wisdom and expert guidance on how to create your own cold immersion practice for healing, joy, and self-discovery. It features simple-to-follow practices, personal storytelling, essential safety tips, and fascinating details on the science and history of cold immersion, providing everything you need to experience the tremendous power of cold water—whether dipping in a sea, lake, river, or tub.

Equal parts inspiring and instructive, this enriching guide is a must-listen companion for anyone curious about cold plunging and a stirring call to open your heart to new adventures, new possibilities, and new joys.
