Narrated by Olympic and world champion short track speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno.
"This method is very simple, very accessible, and endorsed by science. Anybody can do it, and there is no dogma, only acceptance. Only freedom." Wim Hof
Wim Hof has a message for each of us: "You can literally do the impossible. You can overcome disease, improve your mental health and physical performance, and even control your physiology so you can thrive in any stressful situation." With The Wim Hof Method, this trailblazer of human potential shares a method that anyone can use—young or old, sick or healthy—to supercharge their capacity for strength, vitality, and happiness.
Wim has become known as "The Iceman" for his astounding physical feats, such as spending hours in freezing water and running barefoot marathons over deserts and ice fields. Yet his most remarkable achievement is not any record-breaking performance—it is the creation of a method that thousands of people have used to transform their lives.
In his gripping and passionate style, Wim shares his story and the three pillars of his method:

  • Breath—His unique practices to change your body chemistry, infuse yourself with energy, and focus your mind
  • Cold—Safe, controlled, shock-free practices for using cold exposure to enhance your cardiovascular system and awaken your body's untapped strength
  • Mindset—Build your willpower, inner clarity, sensory awareness, and innate joyfulness in the miracle of living
    Wim Hof is a man on a mission: to transform the way we live by reminding us of our true power and purpose. "This is how we will change the world, one soul at a time," Wim says. "We alter the collective consciousness by awakening to our own boundless potential. We are limited only by the depth of our imagination and the strength of our conviction."

        Olympic speed-skating champion Apolo Anton Ono delivers an enthusiastic performance of extreme athlete Wim Hof's guide to self-actualization. Hof's three-pronged method includes the use of breath to infuse energy and focus, controlled and safe exposure to cold to enhance the cardiovascular system, and the use of mindset, which some might call meditation, to increase clarity. While the oft-referenced scientific studies herein are not cited, this absence takes nothing away from the listening experience. Ono is youthful in affect and tone; he provides excellent phrasing, enunciation, and pace variability suiting each chapter's topic. Overall, he provides an excellent performance of what might be considered controversial philosophies and practices. He may even convince some listeners that humans can achieve the impossible.

        Dutch endurance athlete Hof (The Way of the Iceman) explains his method for surviving extreme conditions in this stimulating guide. To fight disease, pain, and trauma—and also improve personal health and athletic performance—humans, Hof writes, must “get back to our innermost needs.” He structures his program around “three simple, natural pillars: cold exposure, conscious breathing, and the power of the mind,” arguing that high-stress daily routines have disconnected humans from nature and led to any number of illnesses. To recover, he delves into how combining exposure to the cold with breathing exercises can engage the “mind-body connection” and allow one to sustain oneself in extreme conditions. Hof touts the program’s benefits as strengthening vascular, immune, neurological, mental and emotional health, as well as clearing “biochemical residue” (undesirable by-products of chemical reactions in the lymphatic system). Hof also shares his struggles with emotional pain (particularly in the aftermath of his wife’s suicide), and how his method helped him come to terms with that tragedy and endure. This spirited and humane guide will inspire self-help readers who are looking for a challenge.
