I deepened my understanding of mastering mind, biology, and potential through practicing with cold. As an avid practitioner of breathing techniques and cold showers through the Wim Hof app, I was ready for next level understanding. This book provided insights. I gained confidence to begin working with ice baths and have begun to experience what Wim says is true, for me, personally. I'm not really sure what to make of Wim Hof. I picked this up as an audiobook and found the concept of what he professes intriguing. You do have to buy into the philosophy though. There is much there beyond the actual methodology. So it comes down to this, either you will end up thinking he is a seer among seers who shows the way that is the natural way beyond the medical/pharma industry that has us all in our grips at this juncture. Or you will think he is a total crackpot shilling for takers like us who will breath in and out real hard followed by a cold shower. I briefly have dipped my toe in the water and huffed and puffed a bit and at this stage remain split. I will continue to probe into it and see for myself and hope he is the former and not the latter. It was OK. Apolo Ohno read this version of the audiobook and was good enough, though his delivery at times was...not the easiest for me to listen to. The thoughts, ideas and the methods in the book are quite intriguing to me and would like to put them into practice after hearing what Wim Hof (and others) has done. I think that the method can be extremely beneficial and should be more widely known and adopted. However I found the book to be very repetitive (maybe better editing would have helped?) and I don’t really gel with Wim Hof as a person. But I would recommend the book if you have no knowledge of the method. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
The only definitive work authored by Wim Hof on his powerful method for realizing our physical and spiritual potential. Narrated by Olympic and world champion short track speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno. "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 their 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 story and the three pillars of his method: - Breath --His 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 cardiovascular system and awaken your body's untapped strength - Mindset --Build your willpower, inner clarity, sensory awareness, and innate joyfulness in the miracle of living 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." Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Being barefoot and topless features heavily in his adventures, most often in places where it would ordinarily be ill advised. He attempts (and fails) to climb Everest in nothing but shoes and shorts and he is famous for being packed in ice wearing nothing but his underwear. He credits his ability to perform these stunts to his method which he also claims can alleviate (if not cure) cancer, arthritis, MS and numerous other ailments as well as adding vigour to your bedroom skills. These are bold claims for what amounts to cold showers and hyperventilation. Wim is quick to say that the science is behind him - often decades behind him, though catching up - but the bibliography is thin and most of what purports to be science in his writing reads like a kind of word salad. A disclaimer at the start of the book says it all: "The information in this book is not a substitute for and is not to be relied on for medical or healthcare professional advice".
If Wim were a fictional character, he would perhaps be one of literature's greatest comic creations. Most people have met someone like him: the aging hippy, burbling an endless confection of peace, love, eastern mysticism, psychoanalysis and pseudo-science; veteran of endless hours of yoga and meditation that have somehow generated a bedrock of unfounded certainty in his own insights and understanding, but without generating a scintilla of self awareness; a raging narcissist, preaching selflessness and a kind of unfocused universal benevolence. At the same time, one feels that though outwardly (usually infuriatingly) serene, they're right on the brink of some unfathomable personal abyss. Wim disavows his status as a guru while repackaging breathing exercises and asceticism-lite as a charismatic life coach.
His unassailable self belief leads to behaviour that seen from any outside perspective is clearly reckless and irresponsible. He leads expeditions of sick people to the summit of Kilimanjaro without proper acclimatisation. He also takes groups up mountains in the winter without the most basic equipment, including clothes. He taps into the inter-related modern fads for pseudo-scientific charlatanism and rugged survivalism.
The last of these generates one of the funniest passages in the book. After a successful break through in a coaching session, he congratulates one of the participants, saying "If you are in tune, mentally and physically, with your true nature and sit within your heart, you become aware of the peace, happiness, and purpose that brings, you will be able to perform at your best." "Their hearts were opened", he concludes. Directed at a group of middle managers on an away day, it would merely be silly. However, in this case, his message of universal love is delivered to a platoon of Navy SEALS.
