Publisher Description
For generations, we’ve been taught to fear the cold...
And while there are consequences to extreme cold exposure, with proper training, anyone can thrive in the cold and learn the lessons it has to teach.
You may recognize Wim Hof from TV specials or YouTube clips; you might have seen him running barefoot above the Arctic Circle or swimming in ice-cold waters. While performing these incredible feats, Wim remained warm, comfortable, and centered, establishing himself as epitome of what is possible when someone uses the cold as a tool to train their body.
Scientists became fascinated with Wim — was he a genetic anomaly, the proof of evolution, or something else entirely? Well, in fall of 2009, college student Justin Rosales decided to follow in Wim’s footsteps to discover if he, too, could conquer the cold.
In this dual-perspective autobiography, Justin and Wim’s lives intersect as they share their journeys and methods for becoming Icemen — and prove that it’s possible for you, too.

Hey
Cool book!
Why was Justin in the book?
It was so hard to read the chapters that Justin wrote. Many unnecessary details that had nothing to do with cold training (like how he called his parents repeatedly to check in while out of town, how he didn’t go to Popeyes). It was obvious without him having to say that he wasn’t someone who travels often or encounters other cultures. He was so jittery and nervous the whole book anytime he stepped away from home. I had to skip some of his chapters - they were so boring! Grammar and editing read like it was done by a teenager. I kept thinking about how annoying he must be in person.
I pushed myself to finish but it was incredibly boring. Don’t buy! Watch Wim’s videos and follow him on social media. You’ll learn more than what the book will give you.

Simple read yet epic information. Will challenge the way you think and feel about the cold.
