Publisher's Summary

Science has now proved the legendary Wim Hof method of breath control and cold training can dramatically enhance energy levels, improve circulation, reduce stress, boost the immune system, strengthen the body, and successfully combat many diseases. While Wim Hof himself has run marathons in -30 degress Celsius in shorts, swum hundreds of meters under the ice, sat in a tank of ice for 90 minutes without his core temperature changing, and boosted his metabolism by more than 300 percent, The Way of the Iceman documents how anyone can use Wim’s methods to transform his or her health and strength quickly and safely.

“After teaching specialized breathing techniques to SEALs for years, helping them focus, stay warm in the cold ocean and get centered in combat, I can attest to the authenticity and power of Wim Hof's methods. Wim Hof is providing a great service with his new book The Way of The Iceman by bringing breath training and simple, powerful health practices into mainstream consciousness.” (Mark Divine, US Navy SEAL (ret), founder of SEALFIT, best-selling author of Unbeatable Mind and Way of the SEAL)

What the critics say

"I am continuously searching for ways to expand my mind, body and spirit - Wim Hof and The Way of the Iceman have done just that! He shows us that human potential is limitless and we are ALL capable of anything we set our minds to.” (Lewis Howes, New York Times best-selling author of The School of Greatness)

“What fascinates me most about Wim Hof's method is the potential application for athletes.... [T]he science in this book shows that we can all amplify our recovery, maximize our pain tolerance, massively jack up energy levels and even learn to control inflammation...and it can be done without resorting to toxic drugs. In fact, the system outlined in this manual might just be the key to producing a generation of enhanced but drug-free athletes.” (Paul “Coach” Wade, author of Convict Conditioning)

no Hasselhoff haha

lot of good information especially like the breathing techniques since I learned some similar ones training in Russian Systema and they work so it wasn't foreign to me to think of adopting this method it actually makes a lot of sense

Inspiring

I've been practicing Wim Hof breathing for a year, and after listening to this book, I am inspired to do more. I've made minor shifts to my breath based on what is shared, and it feels terrific. I highly recommend you listen to this book, then get the app and practice every day.

Good for WHM beginners

Despite what other reviews say there are descriptions of techniques that you can practice yourself at home, starting in chapter 4 with cold training, further along there are breathing exercise examples. This book is great for beginners of the WHM. I highly recommend it for a good balance of history, science and practical application. Looking forward to the next book about the WHM.

Focussed

Really just a summary of the scientific basis for Win Hof's methods. It starts with a little bit of review of the woo-woo foundations but quickly gets into a more scientific justification. It is impressive to me that rather than going overboard with fantastical claims, they approach it from a "this seems to work, and this is why we think it might" perspective.

Short, to-the-point read, and perhaps that's telling: the methods are relatively simple and effective; they don't need a lot of adornment or embellishment to be impressive.
