Wim "The Iceman" Hof shares his riveting story and his potent method for revolutionising your health and vitality - in his own words.
He's shattered world records. He's climbed the highest and coldest mountains wearing nothing but shorts. Most of all, he's shown us that these feats are not superhuman-but that each of us has the ability to be healthier, stronger, and happier than we've ever imagined.
Now you're invited to hear Wim Hof in his own words with The Iceman Speaks.
Wim Hof has captured the world's imagination with his extreme feats of physical mastery, which allow him to control his breathing, heart rate, and blood circulation to withstand extreme temperatures.
Through six audio sessions recorded at his home in the Netherlands, this revolutionary teacher shares the techniques of cold exposure and breathing exercises at the heart of his method-along with the riveting story of how he discovered a set of practices and principles that revolutionise our understanding of the amazing potential we all possess.
In listening to Wim Hof speak, you can't help but feel the energy, passion, and optimism that have made him such a compelling figure. With The Iceman Speaks, you'll join him to experience an unforgettable story of discovery, hardship, perseverance-and most of all, a realisation of how much power we all possess to live an extraordinary life.
This original audio content is the perfect companion to The Wim Hof Method.

Good but lot of fluff
This was hard to listen to at times and I almost didn’t finish it as Wim goes off quite often. This could be 40% shorter as lot of it is unnecessary. Lot of it is also unscientific which wouldn’t bother me but he claims to be very scientific so I need to call him on that. Cold showers, breathing, yes. The other stuff… 🤨
Interesting ideas, poorly written
This book should have been about 1/4 the length that it was. Wim has a tendency to ramble on without adding to his point.
Whilst his method and the potential benefits are fascinating and potentially extremely beneficial, it’s not very well explained and far too often he states things are “proved by the science” without any kind of explanation, or simply states things are the way they are. He also often repeats himself or doesn’t expand on a concept he’s already spoken about.
Every so often there will be a chapter that gives genuine insight into his life, or his method, but it could have easily been written significantly more succinctly!
