About this listen

The only definitive work authored by Wim Hof on his powerful method for realizing our physical and spiritual potential.

Narrated by Olympic and world champion short track speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno.

“This method is very simple, very accessible, and endorsed by science. Anybody can do it, and there is no dogma, only acceptance. Only freedom.” (Wim Hof)

Wim Hof has a message for each of us: “You can literally do the impossible. You can overcome disease, improve your mental health and physical performance, and even control your physiology so you can thrive in any stressful situation.” With The Wim Hof Method, this trailblazer of human potential shares a method that anyone can use - young or old, sick or healthy - to supercharge their capacity for strength, vitality, and happiness.

Wim has become known as “The Iceman” for his astounding physical feats, such as spending hours in freezing water and running barefoot marathons over deserts and ice fields. Yet his most remarkable achievement is not any record-breaking performance - it is the creation of a method that thousands of people have used to transform their lives.

In his gripping and passionate style, Wim shares his story and the three pillars of his method:

  • Breath - His unique practices to change your body chemistry, infuse yourself with energy, and focus your mind
  • Cold - Safe, controlled, shock-free practices for using cold exposure to enhance your cardiovascular system and awaken your body’s untapped strength
  • Mindset - Build your willpower, inner clarity, sensory awareness, and innate joyfulness in the miracle of living

Wim Hof is a man on a mission: to transform the way we live by reminding us of our true power and purpose. “This is how we will change the world, one soul at a time,” Wim says. “We alter the collective consciousness by awakening to our own boundless potential. We are limited only by the depth of our imagination and the strength of our conviction.”

Critic reviews

“Wim Hof is a man of extraordinary talents who demonstrates great control of involuntary physiological functions, developed by learning to tolerate exposure to cold and by working with the breath. He has taught the Wim Hof Method to many people, and in this book he explains it in detail. Recommended reading for everyone interested in human potentials.” (Andrew Weil, MD, director of the University of Arizona Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine, author of 8 Weeks to Optimum Health)

“Wim Hof has inspired millions of people to use just their bodies and breath to heat, then heal, themselves of a laundry list of chronic illnesses. Dubious, you say? I certainly thought so, until I discovered the real scientific research from real scientists around the world proving these ‘impossible’ claims were in fact true. This book is a valuable guide to anyone looking to take better control of the health, heat, and untapped potential locked away within us all.” (James Nestor, New York Times best-selling author of Breath)

“Wim Hof’s program has become an essential part of my daily regimen for self-care and grounding. I warmly recommend it.” ­(Gabor Maté, MD, author of When the Body Says No)

I have asked God to show me my purpose. He lead me to this book. Every thing and anything beyond what I could even imagine was revealed by Wim Hof. Things that I didn’t even know are possible are very possible and then things beyond that. I have yearned for this my whole life and my nephew told me he was going to get me this phenomenal book.

Wim Hof has many incredible ideas about health, the mind, and the human spirit. I found myself in a rut with my health in recent months, and reading this book gave me many strategies for how to wake my body and mind up. Wim Hof’s story is inspiring, and his energy and love for life are infectious. What an enjoyable and inspiring book this was!

This book will fire you up! So much wisdom and inspiration.

The narration is so amazing and energetic. The story is so admirable and inspiring. I started practicing the breathing with cold showers in the morning just a few weeks ago and already feel many positive changes to my body and mind. Quoting the book, “cold as the mirror, breath as the guide, and mindset as the creator.” Thank you for the book!

I enjoyed the book, I always knew there was benefits to cold showers as I noticed them when I was sort of forced to take them. I remember feeling more confident and happy, while also noticing it got me leaner. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it. Its good to practice your spirituality and have control of your body more than what you thought you did. Great read for me.
