A good guide for starting cold therapy and mindful breathing。 However， he includes a lot of opinion based evidence。

I appreciate the information he has to share: that exposure to cold can be beneficial， and breathwork can be powerful。 I also agree that mindfulness/meditation is important。 However， there was a lot of rambling。 I don't think this needs to be a book， I would prefer a 。pdf with the highlights。 I appreciate the information he has to share: that exposure to cold can be beneficial， and breathwork can be powerful。 I also agree that mindfulness/meditation is important。 However， there was a lot of rambling。 I don't think this needs to be a book， I would prefer a 。pdf with the highlights。 。。。more

*** 1/2 Definitely an interesting read ， but the book itself could have been only 75 pages。 Half of the chapters are always repeating the key concepts and they could have added more details on the clinical studies and the results。

Jeśli zastanawialiście się nad tym， kto stoi za szeroko opisywanym w mediach procederem zimowych wejść na Śnieżkę， ludzi w strojach kąpielowych， to spieszę z odpowiedzią。 Wim Hof。 Jeśli ten fakt niewystarczająco zniechęca Was do poznania jego historii， to dopowiem， że jest on również seryjnym rekordzistą Guinnessa w kilku kategoriach związanych oczywiście z zimnem i wytrzymałością， m。in。 w najdłuższym wolnym zwisaniu na jednym palcu。 Dochodzą do tego umiejętności rozgrzewania części lub całości Jeśli zastanawialiście się nad tym， kto stoi za szeroko opisywanym w mediach procederem zimowych wejść na Śnieżkę， ludzi w strojach kąpielowych， to spieszę z odpowiedzią。 Wim Hof。 Jeśli ten fakt niewystarczająco zniechęca Was do poznania jego historii， to dopowiem， że jest on również seryjnym rekordzistą Guinnessa w kilku kategoriach związanych oczywiście z zimnem i wytrzymałością， m。in。 w najdłuższym wolnym zwisaniu na jednym palcu。 Dochodzą do tego umiejętności rozgrzewania części lub całości ciała， za pomocą siły umysłu， czy powstrzymanie zatrucia toksynami， tym samym sposobem （sic！）。 No i teraz przychodzi czas na pytanie， skąd w ogóle pomysł， żeby sięgnąć po historię tego popieprzeńca？ Tym bardziej， że miewam raczej alergię na pseudomedycynę， kaznodziejstwo i przytulanie do drzew。 Wim Hof bliżej lub dalej towarzyszy mi jednak od czasu （jeszcze Clubhouse'owego） zapoznania się ze środowiskiem biokacherów i trendem na popychanie swojego organizmu do maksimum możliwości， oraz wydłużanie życia。 I tu następuje zwrot akcji w odbiorze jego książki。 Otóż dwa podstawowe elementy przedstawionej w niej metody， czyli ekspozycja na zimno， oraz rozbudowane techniki oddechowe， nie tylko znajdują tysiące naśladowców （co samo w sobie nie miałoby takiego znaczenia - nie trudno znaleźć grupę idiotów， która zrobi cokolwiek）。 Przede wszystkim jednak， ich zbawienny wpływ na nasz organizm， znajduje wielokrotne potwierdzenie w naukowych badaniach i literaturze。 Sporo na ten temat pisał chociażby David Sinclair w przytaczanej tu kilka tygodni temu książce。 Dowody？ Przy okazji ekspozycji na zimno dochodzi do wzrostu poziomu dopaminy， bez następującego po nim raptownego spadku。 Efekt ten jest ewenementem wśród wszystkich sposobów na podniesienie poziomu tego hormonu， pokonując w tej kategorii m。in。 czekoladę， kofeinę， kokainę， czy seks。 To wyjaśniałoby ubiegłoroczny fenomen morsowania。 Techniki oddechowe to zaś nic innego jak mniej uduchowiona， powiedzmy europejska， wariacja na temat jogi， medytacji i innych zaczerpniętych z dalekiego wschodu sposobów sięgania po głębsze pokłady świadomości。 Wypróbowałem przez kilka dni i bez wątpienia działają。 Jednym słowem jest w tym wszystkim nieco więcej， niż mogłoby się pierwotnie wydawać。 Nie zmienia to faktu， że książka to w większości historia życia autora， oraz sporo treści pod wezwaniem "złapmy się za ręce i kochajmy świat"。 Nie każdemu to przypadnie do gustu。 Wówczas polecam sporo contentu związanego z Wimem Hofem i jego metodą， jakie można znaleźć online。 。。。more

Táto kniha vám zmení život。 Ak jej to dovolíte a uveríte tomu čo je v nej napísané。 Metóda v nej popísaná je veľmi jednoduchá s magickými účinkami。 Sú to tri hlavné myšlienky， ktoré sa dokola opakujú。 Okrem toho je text ozvláštnený autorovým životom a skúsenosťami bežných ľudí。

Good book。 Doesn't explain the Wim Hof Method in detail， like some people expect， but instead illustrates how the method was invented， and a bit of backstory about Wim Hof， his goals and mindset。 I personally found it very interesting。 Good book。 Doesn't explain the Wim Hof Method in detail， like some people expect， but instead illustrates how the method was invented， and a bit of backstory about Wim Hof， his goals and mindset。 I personally found it very interesting。 。。。more

I truly believe in Wim’s method - the mix of breathing exercises， meditation and cold exposure is life-changing。 The book， however， is full of repetition and badly written， Wim’s just not a writer and by how much he jumps around from topic to topic， you can unfortunately tell。 My recommendation is to read up on the method through Wim’s website or app， or check out one of the live courses instead。

I started reading this but found the author to be cold and the tone chilling。 Perhaps suitable for summer beach reading。 Seriously though， I realized that his method is outside my comfort zone。

I’m a huge fan of Wim。 His personality really comes through in the book。 I love his passion。 I enjoy practicing the WHM。 4 stars simply because the writing gets a little repetitive。 You can tell he’s more a coach than a writer。 I appreciated all the specifics offered in this book。

I’d heard of the Wim Hof method but never did it before。 I have taken a five minute cold shower for the last 280 days straight， so it was awesome to see that this is a big component of the method。 Wim has discovered revolutionary benefits to almost anything you can think of just through simple breathing and cold exposure！ It’s a remarkable method that is so simple and will make you feel amazing and has helped hundreds of thousands of people overcome diseases and many other obstacles they’ve face I’d heard of the Wim Hof method but never did it before。 I have taken a five minute cold shower for the last 280 days straight， so it was awesome to see that this is a big component of the method。 Wim has discovered revolutionary benefits to almost anything you can think of just through simple breathing and cold exposure！ It’s a remarkable method that is so simple and will make you feel amazing and has helped hundreds of thousands of people overcome diseases and many other obstacles they’ve faced in life。 Everyone should read this book。 。。。more

5/5 for the method， which is clearly laid out and makes up 10-20% of the book。I would’ve appreciated this more as a condensed training manual。 If you’ve already bought in to Wim Hof’s methods - like I have - most of the book is selling what you’ve already bought。

A very interesting approach to health。 Like most books offering advice it could be 300 pages shorter。 It took to long to get to the point。

Did this book have an editor？ Certainly doesn't seem like it。 It's not only that it's repetitive， the exact same sentences and conclusions are repeated several times。 Narrative （if you can even call it that） is all over the place。 Not to even mention all the mentions of "science" without any citations/sources。 This book is a first draft at best that needs a lot of work to get it to a polished book。Which is a shame， because the core of it （Wim Hof Method） is certainly a very interesting thing。 Bo Did this book have an editor？ Certainly doesn't seem like it。 It's not only that it's repetitive， the exact same sentences and conclusions are repeated several times。 Narrative （if you can even call it that） is all over the place。 Not to even mention all the mentions of "science" without any citations/sources。 This book is a first draft at best that needs a lot of work to get it to a polished book。Which is a shame， because the core of it （Wim Hof Method） is certainly a very interesting thing。 Both breathing and cold water plunges/showering。 But for that I think you're better off googling for it， or using the app。 This book has the method spread throughout the book in several different variations without giving you a definitive/basic version explicitly。 It's so badly edited。 Or， more likely， it's completely unedited。 First draft straight to print。 Infuriating。 。。。more

This book is definetly worth reading， but just not in the form that it is formulated in the book。 Wim Hof is great in inspiring and motivating， writing however is in my opinion not his strongest side。 His message came over， that's clear so that's why I would like to give it a 2。5， which is sadly not possible， but the repetetiveness made it dull。 I think the book would be way more powerful if it didn't repeat the same thing five times and the book would be better if it got cut to around 100 pages This book is definetly worth reading， but just not in the form that it is formulated in the book。 Wim Hof is great in inspiring and motivating， writing however is in my opinion not his strongest side。 His message came over， that's clear so that's why I would like to give it a 2。5， which is sadly not possible， but the repetetiveness made it dull。 I think the book would be way more powerful if it didn't repeat the same thing five times and the book would be better if it got cut to around 100 pages。 For the rest， as I said， it's definetly worth reading because the method is really useful to a lot of people。 。。。more

I did learn a lot and fully believe in the power of breath work and cold immersion （tho im still afraid o of that part）。 I just think you could get all the info you need from watching one of Wim’s many interviews as a podcast guest。 The book could have shorter。 He often make a point and then rambles on for a long time saying the same thing in different ways。 His writing style is a bit untethered though it foes match his talking style… feel like his editor could have tightened things up a lot。
