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)

Critic reviews

"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)

Good Information & Inspirational

Great stories & examples of how 'The Wim Hof Method' has completely transformed the lives of others. Most suffering from all kinds of debilitating disorders. Very inspirational as well - about the power of our body, mind, & souls, to go beyond (or past) the limits perceived by others. I also enjoyed the narrator too.

Back to the basics

In an age of convenience and a let's not create any pressure society. This book resonates with how our ancestors lived thousands of years ago. Interesting concept, worth a try.

Interactive and interesting

I loved hearing this breathing and ice bath tale -

The story of Wim was sad and intense and the technical aspects of it seem to have tremendous positive effects... Now the hard question is how do I start that training. Self discipline is often difficult for me and without a local group I'm not sure I will stick to it or remember when it counts

Adequate Beginners Guide

I think this serves its purpose as an introduction to the WHM and I can see it really inspiring people to try it for the first time and getting them pumped up but may not be as useful if you are already a practitioner. The narration is pretty clumsy and seems as those it was done in one go when certain slip ups should have been re-recorded.
