We are limited only by the depth of our imagination and the strength of our conviction.”

Review
"This spirited and humane guide will inspire self-help readers who are looking for a challenge."
―Publishers Weekly
“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
