The Wim Hof Method

At the very end of the book, in FAQ and as a rather casual aside, there is a small caveat: those who are on any kind of blood pressure medication (which, at last count, included more than half of Americans) should NOT practice this method. I have this vision of aging athletes used to pushing themselves to get in shape using these methods, especially the breathing methods, on their own and winding up having a stroke. Not to have this information in BOLD TYPE at the very beginning of the book is incredibly irresponsible, imho. And, in fact, it should be in the description BEFORE people spend their money.

This book I have been waiting for. I started practicing the WHM in July of this year 2020. At 58 years old I was looking for a way to get both mentally and physically fit. The WHM has helped me become more relaxed, and more focused. The method of breath work, cold showers and mindset are simply stated FABULOUS!! I have lost 23 pounds and have not missed a day of doing this since i started. I am currently in the second week of the ten week video course. The book helps explain the methods and the research and science that backs it. I git the book today and finished it today. I am sure it will be a resource I will go to often as I continue on this journey to better health and performance.

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 began using the method before reading the book after watching a YouTube video and the Wim Hof method was mentioned in a comment I investigated and tried it. The reason I tried it was after being hit by a pickup truck over 6 years ago had fractured spine , neck , bleeding within the brain and a fractured hip that had to be screwed back together and all that seemed to trigger hertitopic ossification the doctor’s did the best they could things work but have limited range of motion and one problem that became a chronic condition inflammation that made walking an standing for long periods very difficult.
The method is simple I seen results very quickly no medications or vitamins supplements are required the results last ! there were no side effects. The only thing I regret deeply is I didn’t know about it earlier as I think this may have stopped the calcification ,as my spine and ribs have kind of fused together . Bought the book to see what else his method offered and out of gratitude . there’s more information on him and his philosophy of life and some of his extraordinary physical feet’s. My advice is begin to do the method preferably before you need it . But if you already have a problem with any inflammatory condition begin as soon as you can to limit the damage that it can do to your joints. If doctors start to prescribed this method for their patients with inflammatory problems the benefits will be great it works!! Thank you Wim Hof I am grateful with out this things were going in the wrong direction actually now am actually making some progress!

I met the Ice Man, in 2006 and 2007. I am so excited to receive a hard copy of a book he actually authored, and not by someone else, through him. I have three kids, and do not make time to read actual books anymore
BUT I just received this book, and I cannot. put. it. down. People, if you are feeling down about anything.
You must read this.
If anyone in your life is feeling down or cannot cope, they need to read this, and you must gift this to them. A real, hard copy is the best.
Wim Hof is the real deal. And if you read his first authored book you will also know you are the real deal too. 🙂
Everyone And anyone has the absolute potential to do literally anything. It is all in your mind. You CAN do it! Whatever IT is. And, if you are a WH fan already, taken his courses, and are best friends with him, you will love this book too.
Does not matter.
It is the message.
You can do it.
