The only definitive book authored by Wim Hof on his powerful method for realizing our physical and spiritual potential. More than one million copies sold worldwide.

“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 your 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 method and his story, including:

Breath―Wim’s 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 cardio-vascular system and awaken your body’s untapped strength
Mindset―Build your willpower, inner clarity, sensory awareness, and innate joyfulness in the miracle of living
Science―How users of this method have redefined what is medically possible in study after study
Health―True stories and testimonials from people using the method to overcome disease and chronic illness
Performance―Increase your endurance, improve recovery time, up your mental game, and more
Wim’s Story―Follow Wim’s inspiring personal journey of discovery, tragedy, and triumph
Spiritual Awakening―How breath, cold, and mindset can reveal the beauty of your soul

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.”

If you’re ready to explore and exceed the limits of your own potential,
The Wim Hof Method is waiting for you.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Wim Hof has inspired millions of people to use just their bodies and breath to heat, then heal, themselves of a laundry list of chronic illnesses. Dubious, you say? I certainly thought so, until I discovered the real scientific research from real scientists around the world proving these ‘impossible’ claims were in fact true. This book is a valuable guide to anyone looking to take better control of the health, heat, and untapped potential locked away within us all.” ―James Nestor, New York Times bestselling author of Breath

“Wim Hof is a legend. This book is great. It’s like learning yoga from Thor.” ―
Russell Brand

“Wim Hof is a man of extraordinary talents who demonstrates great control of involuntary physiological functions, developed by learning to tolerate exposure to cold and by working with the breath. He has taught the Wim Hof Method to many people, and in this book he explains it in detail. Recommended reading for everyone interested in human potentials.” ―
Andrew Weil, MD, director of the University of Arizona Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine, author of 8 Weeks to Optimum Health

“Wim Hof’s program has become an essential part of my daily regimen for self-care and grounding. I warmly recommend it.” ­―
Gabor Maté, MD, author of When the Body Says No

“If you had to read one book on how to feel great, this is it. I’m so glad Wim’s techniques have been summarized in such an easy-to-digest way. I’ve been doing his method religiously because it works.” ―
Jesse Itzler, serial entrepreneur, bestselling author, endurance athlete, and an owner of the Atlanta Hawks

“With the bombastic certainty of a man obsessed, Wim Hof offers scientific curiosities worthy of further investigation, as well as groundbreaking self-healing tools worth experimenting with yourself, especially if conventional medicine has failed to help you.” ―
Lissa Rankin, MD, New York Times bestselling author of Mind Over Medicine

The Wim Hof Method allows us to cultivate our body and mind in ways that release our potential for greater health and vitality. When provided with low levels of healthy stress, our body becomes more resilient and more alive. My days are better when I begin them with the Wim Hof Method.” ―Doug Abrams, coauthor of the New York Times bestseller The Book of Joy

“Wim Hof is a wild-crafted yogi, sharing instantly accessible tools of cold exposure and breath work to return us to wholeness and health.” ―
Elena Brower, bestselling author of Practice You

“Wim is a force of nature and love! I have been lucky enough to spend intimate time training with him in person. This book is the next best thing. Take the journey with Wim through his stories, the science, and the method to discover that you are capable of more than you thought possible.” ―
Lewis Howes, New York Times bestselling author and host of The School of Greatness

“I enjoyed this book immensely! Get inside the mind of Wim Hof and learn why millions of people worldwide feel the freeze and do it anyway. Breathe in, chill out, and enjoy the ride.” ―
Patrick McKeown, author of The Oxygen Advantage

“I’ve never felt so alive.”
Joe Wicks, “The Body Coach”

“This book fortifies that the mind is the most powerful tool we possess; however, very few use it like Mr. Wim Hof. A positive and persuasive read.” ―
Ant Middleton, British adventurer

“This book will change your life.” ―
Ben Fogle, travel writer and broadcaster

“A fascinating look at Wim's incredible life and method.” ―
Fearne Cotton, English television presenter

About the Author

Wim Hof, a.k.a. “The Iceman,” holds multiple world records for his feats of endurance and exposure to cold―such as climbing Mount Kilimanjaro wearing only shorts and shoes, running a barefoot half-marathon in the Arctic Circle, and standing in an ice-filled container for more than 112 minutes. Having been taught by the majestic natural power of the cold, Wim is on a mission to share his discoveries with the world.

The benefits of his method, now practiced by millions, have been validated by eight university research studies. He has been featured on the BBC, VICE Media, Discovery Channel, and
The Joe Rogan Experience, The Tim Ferriss Show, and The School of Greatness podcasts.

Only you stand in your own way.
Inspirational. Positive. Upbeat. Wim invites one and all to jump start our souls. I purchased two copies, one for myself and one for my father. After watching several videos featuring Wim, Dad insisted on reading Wim's book. At 98 years of age, Dad recently finished the 10 day crash course. He's pissed off that where he lives in Texas the showers aren't cold enough. Dad tells anyone who will listen that world leaders should put Wim up on the podium to tell folks how to properly boost their immune systems. One last aside, Dad has never tolerated "foul language" - for Wim Hof, however, Dad has given a free pass, stating, "The man has had to deal with a lot of skeptics." - Don't just think of yourself when you get this book - the road to health and vigor must be taken by all.

I’ve wanted to read this book ever since I heard an interview with Wim on a podcast. Wim has broken ground on the understanding of breath and life as well as cold and life. We have become so soft in our modern age with all the comforts and conveniences that we miss the value of slowing down and taking the time to breathe and learn the value of cold. When we expose our bodies to cold for brief periods it opens up the primal modes of survival. And, it opens up our minds. It increases our immune system and stress disintegrates. It’s the same with breathing and getting the oxygen to our brains. With the oxygen comes the healing. But this only scratches the surface. Wim goes into the scientific verification of his methods. There is something for all of us in this book. Read the book to learn more.

I am a Christian and follower of Jesus Christ and I find the breathing and cold therapy to be valuable for my wellbeing. I do not agree with Wim on all the Eastern conclusions but I do find it extremely important to walk in love as he points out. There is much for us human beings to learn.

If you already know who Wim Hof is, you may know much of his story already too. If you don't, and are curious about this remarkable man, this is as good an introduction as you're likely to find.
Although I am a practitioner of his method, this review isn't a critique of whether it works or doesn't. This is a review of the book. And the book is good. An easy read, but full of so much wisdom born of experience, both positive and negative. It's hard not to feel Wim's infectious enthusiasm coming right off the page. In addition to full explanations of the three components of his method, there's also quite a bit about his life. What formed his approach, his motivation for wanting to peer into places most people tend to avoid. You'll come away knowing more about the man himself, and it may indeed motivate you to begin your own practice.
This is a really enjoyable work by a genuinely unique human being. You will learn much about him, and it's entirely possible, about yourself as well. Recommended.

Amazing story and fantastic method.

If you just want to try out the Wim Hof method, download the free app and follow the instructions there, you don't need to pay for this book or do any paid courses.

You can get a little taste by doing the basic breathing exercise once, it only takes 4-20 minutes, depending on how many rounds you do. After that you can decide if you want to go for more. Although there isn't much more, except a bit more breathing and cold water showers. The key, and the real hard part, is the commitment to make a habit out of it and do it regularly, that's also when you get the most benefits.

Anyway, if you've already tried the method, or you just don't care about it but want to learn more about the backstory and the guy who came up with it, I highly recommend this book.

It's a fascinating read. It feels almost like listening to Wim Hof telling his story in his own words. Super inspiring and lots of cool things to try out and practice.

He does become a bit repetitive towards the end, and he does talk a lot about the soul, what he believes society should move towards and other stuff that are his personal points of view and which you might not necessarily agree with. It's fine with me, but it could be offputting to some people if all they care about is the method (WHM) or his back story.

I enjoyed this book because I will not likely go to one of his retreats to experience this method with a group of people but I wanted to support Wim in his efforts to get the word out about his method. I read What Doesn't Kill Us by Scott Carney and then watched several podcasts and videos about Wim. I've been taking cold showers for over a year and have truly enjoyed the experience more than I would have imagined. This book gave insight into several breathing techniques that can go along with it. If I picked this book up without having seen or heard about Wim, I might not feel the same connection as I did by having some prior knowledge. I would encourage you to watch a video or podcast before getting the book, and then purchasing the book and giving the method a shot. The book didn't have as much science as I would have liked, but you get more of his individual story, some additional breathing suggestions and a few more anecdotes about scientific research to go along with his conversational, expressive tone. Overall a good read!

I started reading this book as a skeptic. Now after a full month of using his methods I'm a believer. what he teaches is real and tangible. The cold water is unbelievably easy and opens my body to be free from pain. The breathing he teaches is healing my body with every breath I take. Try this book for yourself and follow his methods and it will change your life.

Im working through long covid for 2 years now and my sister made me promise to read this as it really helped her husband with his health, depression and anxiety. So I got this book and dove in... after the 1st breathing session I felt noticably better as did the asthma and cranky lungs. I then got going on the cold showers and very soon cold plunges. It's all made a big difference and I'm healing faster. I was riveted reading this and his life story... so encouraging. The premise he discusses that you can use breathwork, power of the mind and cold to heal the body from sickness blew mind. It's a paradigm shift and if your searching for help this will make you stronger. Plenty of science in here, just the right mix of stories and science. One of my all time favs, I'm fixing to read again soon. Get this!

Reviewed in Canada on December 6, 2021
Well-written book detailing the origins and methodology of the Wim Hof method. I started implementing the cold therapy and breathing technique about 3 weeks ago. From day one I can actually say my life has changed: my energy is through the roof from morning til night. I feel alive and amazingly GOOD! My aches and pains have completely disappeared. My arthritic knee has cleared up which is a godsend - physio and a $600 injection I had in Spring did nothing. I've gone from feeling and moving like an old lady to a state of invigorated well-being. This method is not a mere fad or some far-fetched goofy idea - it is scientifically proven and its incredibly easy and uncomplicated to do. I've just started using the method to lose weight and Im very hopeful it will be successful. I can't recommend this book highly enough.
