Story
Wim Hof has become a modern icon for his astounding achievements, breaking world records withstanding extreme temperatures and running barefoot marathons over deserts and ice fields. Most of all, he's shown us that these feats are not superhuman - but that all of us have the ability to be stronger, healthier and happier than we've ever imagined. In The Wim Hof Method, this trailblazer of human potential shares his simple three-pillar approach that anyone can use to improve health and performance - and see real results within just a few days.

Our ancestors crossed deserts, mountains, and oceans without even a whisper of what anyone today might consider modern technology. Those feats of endurance now seem impossible in an age where we take comfort for granted. But what if we could regain some of our lost evolutionary strength by simulating the environmental conditions of our forbears? Investigative journalist and anthropologist Scott Carney takes up the challenge to find out: Can we hack our bodies and use the environment to stimulate our inner biology?

Inspired by the physical challenges of stalking elk in the Oregon wilderness—traversing mountainous terrain, braving erratic weather, and evading his quarry’s even more dangerous predators—he began an ever-evolving journey of self-improvement. To become the best bowhunter of wild elk, to the caliber he believed he could be, Cam realized he would need more than archery skills.

This lecture took place in the largest auditorium of the Moscow State University (named after M. V. Lomonosov). This special event was organized for the staff of the university. It was likely the classified nature of Buteyko’s research during the 1960s (for first Soviet spaceship missions or Soviet Cosmos) and exclusiveness of his discoveries that predetermined the organization of this lecture. Hence, it was definitely a very large and significant event for the scientific staff of the Moscow State University, the most famous and prestigious university of the USSR.

Thrive or die: That's the rule of evolution. Despite this brutal logic, some species have learned to survive in even the most hostile conditions. Others couldn't - and perished. While incremental genetic adaptations hone the physiology of nearly every creature on this planet, there's another evolutionary force that is just as important: the power of choice. In this explosive investigation into the limits of endurance, journalist Scott Carney discovers how humans can wedge control over automatic physiological responses into the breaking point between stress and biology.

Summary
Science has now proved the legendary Wim Hof method of breath control and cold training can dramatically enhance energy levels, improve circulation, reduce stress, boost the immune system, strengthen the body, and successfully combat many diseases. While Wim Hof himself has run marathons in -30 degress Celsius in shorts, swum hundreds of meters under the ice, sat in a tank of ice for 90 minutes without his core temperature changing, and boosted his metabolism by more than 300 percent, The Way of the Iceman documents how anyone can use Wim’s methods to transform his or her health and strength quickly and safely.
“After teaching specialized breathing techniques to SEALs for years, helping them focus, stay warm in the cold ocean and get centered in combat, I can attest to the authenticity and power of Wim Hof's methods. Wim Hof is providing a great service with his new book The Way of The Iceman by bringing breath training and simple, powerful health practices into mainstream consciousness.” (Mark Divine, US Navy SEAL (ret), founder of SEALFIT, best-selling author of Unbeatable Mind and Way of the SEAL)
Critic reviews
"I am continuously searching for ways to expand my mind, body and spirit - Wim Hof and The Way of the Iceman have done just that! He shows us that human potential is limitless and we are ALL capable of anything we set our minds to.” (Lewis Howes, New York Times best-selling author of The School of Greatness)
“What fascinates me most about Wim Hof's method is the potential application for athletes.... [T]he science in this book shows that we can all amplify our recovery, maximize our pain tolerance, massively jack up energy levels and even learn to control inflammation...and it can be done without resorting to toxic drugs. In fact, the system outlined in this manual might just be the key to producing a generation of enhanced but drug-free athletes.” (Paul “Coach” Wade, author of Convict Conditioning)

Only 2 mins of the whole book is actually useful
Let me begin by saying how much Wim Hof is an absolute legend and high performance human. This book gives you a good insight of his character, achievements, and what led him to create this style of high performance mind control.
The stories in this book are inspirational, but what really lets it down is the very small amount of teaching on the actual methodology for Wim Hof technique. It spends a very small chapter telling you how to breathe slowly for 30 breaths then hold your breath on the last breath. It does not go into any more detail, such as how many times a day do you need to practice this for? How many weeks? The psychology behind what you may experience during the course of your breathing exercises.
I feel you can only get that type of teaching from Wim himself.
There are plenty of other audio books out there that go into more detail than this, which also give you a deeper understanding of the technique.
This is definitely worth a listen, but don’t expect to be taught anything super human, or feel like you have a real blue print to run a marathon, topless and in sandals across the arctic circle.

Interesting introduction but poorly performed
The content of the book is interesting enough: it goes into plenty of detail about the technique and some benefits. However, for the most part it feels like blatant marketing for Wim Hof's seminars, and this is felt throughout.
The performance was also bad. There are some sections which clearly should have been edited out, and for the most part a lifeless reader.

I had heard about Wim Hof from my 23 year old son, however, before he told me about him he had me do a test.
How long could I hold my breath, I tried, I had just over 30 seconds. He asked me to do a breathing exercise and at the end exhale before holding my breath. I held my breath for 90 seconds and I was very relaxed and comfortable.
That Dad, is the Wim Hof technique. Read this book with an open mind, it doesn't offer an miracle cures, just some basic advice that could transform your life. I listened to the book because I wanted to see if it was suitable to give a friend an overview of the technique.
If you doubt any of the "news stories", just do a bit of online research from credible sources.

Seems to be a trend now to write a "book" that is actually a promotional for a course you will have to pay for to get the actual techniques the book is superficially about. They call it a book, I call it FRAUD!

More of an ad then a book
I am very interested in exploring the Wim Hof method so I didn’t need to be sold on it. This read is mostly testimonials and the origin of the method. They give you one starter exercise at the very end. I am going to try the exercise and take a few classes. If you are interested and short on time, I would jump right into the classes. No need to sell me something I am actively researching and looking to try.
