What Doesn't Kill Us, a New York Times best seller, traces our evolutionary journey back to a time when survival depended on how well we adapted to the environment around us.
Our ancestors crossed deserts, mountains, and oceans without even a whisper of what anyone today might consider modern technology. Those feats of endurance now seem impossible in an age where we take comfort for granted. But what if we could regain some of our lost evolutionary strength by simulating the environmental conditions of our forbears?
Investigative journalist and anthropologist Scott Carney takes up the challenge to find out: Can we hack our bodies and use the environment to stimulate our inner biology? Helping him in his search for the answers is Dutch fitness guru Wim Hof, whose ability to control his body temperature in extreme cold has sparked a whirlwind of scientific study. Carney also enlists input from an army scientist, a world-famous surfer, the founders of an obstacle course race movement, and ordinary people who have documented how they have cured autoimmune diseases, lost weight, and reversed diabetes. In the process he chronicles his own transformational journey as he pushes his body and mind to the edge of endurance, a quest that culminates in a record-bending 28-hour climb to the snowy peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro wearing nothing but a pair of running shorts and sneakers.
An ambitious blend of investigative reporting and participatory journalism, What Doesn't Kill Us explores the true connection between the mind and the body and reveals the science that allows us to push past our perceived limitations.

He's quick to point out when incidents are anecdotal, but he's also free with the numerous case studies.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book, and it serves well as a gateway to more learning of this method.
Through intriguing!

...now I can at least explain it to myself. I have been re-energized to work on myself and my body in my 40s. The biology is fascinating and observations of experiencing cold showers and purposeful breathing for a straight month is something everyone can do and would be worth the effort to experience.
Yesterday went for an hour walk shirtless and in shorts in the snow in 30 degree temperatures. Went in a nature preserve in the city I live with my wife. She chuckled at me, but saw the joy in my face. We saw one other walker bundled in full winter gear head to toe. He could see us coming for a good 5 minutes prior to crossing paths.
As we crossed paths, I could see him struggling to process what I was up to shirtless and in shorts in the conditions. He then said with a confused tone, “You training for a polar plunge?” I simply said with a smile, “Just trying to catch the cold”.
Recommend the read or listening.
