Mere Mortals Book Reviews The Wim Hof Method (Wim Hof) - Book Review

Deep in, deep out. Breathe Mother Fuckers!!!!! 'The Wim Hof Method' is the layman's guide to the daily practice created by Wim Hof. The book teaches you the direct instructions but also contains a biography of the Iceman, testimonials of advocates and ends with his spiritual philosophy. The book explains how he came about his 3 Pillars (Breath/Mind/Cold) and the benefits to your health and performance that can be gained.
I summarised the book as follows. "It's an overview of Wim Hof's method that translates his message in a purely textual format. It starts on firm scientific ground but gets shakier towards the end as he introduces his own spiritual beliefs. Personally I find the use of testimonials unconvincing and the message doesn't come across as strongly without the charismatic personality of Wim in person. That being said the WHM is probably something to at least try for those people with health problems that conventional science has not been able to alleviate."
I hope you're having a fantastic day wherever you are in the world, Kyrin out!
