Hof is someone whose identity is now immersed in the concepts of breathing and embracing the “ice-cold”. He believes “we are all capable of so much more” which is one of my favourite quotes, and he has actually accomplished some unbelievable feats such as endurance in extreme conditions, and composure under severe duress. In his preface, Hof identifies three areas he believes can unlock the extraordinary cold exposure, conscious breathing, and the power of the mind. I will summarise my takeaways, many of which I have now adopted as good practice for an extra physical and mental edge. In fact, the simple techniques described and explored in this book can and do literally transform lives. But it is seen as the prerogative of the elite rather than a game-changer for guys and girls across the globe. His method for exceptional health is intuitively believable if somewhat uncomfortable! Indeed, the idea of ice baths for rapid recovery, and breathing for performance excellence is pretty widely applied in the 21st century. There is no doubt he is an exceptional human being, but the beauty of his attitude and this book, is that he absolutely believes every one of us has the ability to be exceptional. Wim Hof is an “outlier” who certainly loves the outdoors.
