About this listen

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.”

What the critics say

“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 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 best-selling author of Breath)

“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)

Honnest evaluation

Before listening to the book, I took a look at this comment section, I wasnt sure if it was a good book.

After it, what I can tell is :

Narration is close to perfect, the intensity is right on spot, it help me doesnt get distract.

There is a bit of repetition but not that much.

The content of the book is really great. I knew Him a little before this book and I wanted to know more, know more about the point of view of the science, and I've been serve.

Great info

I enjoyed the book very much. It all seems to make pretty decent sense. I was going good for me until I got to the end and found out it’s not for me. Not for me because my blood pressure is elevated and my doctors give me meds. Although I will implement parts but until I can get my weight down and blood pressure down. Thanks just the same!

book is great, narrator could be better

I found it really intense and not at all a chill relaxing vibe that I get from wim. I understand no one is Wim, but the narrator could tone it down a bit, slow down the pace of his reading, especially when rhyming off the instructions. I felt stressed or anxious while listening. I will read it in its paper form perhaps. to experience it at my own pace.
