What Doesn't Kill Us: the bestselling guide to transforming your body by unlocking your lost evolutionary strength

There are a lot of reviews here from disappointed readers, so here is some clarification. This book can be described as one man's journey. It describes the author's experience with the Wim Hof method. It is NOT an instruction manual on how to do it. As well as the author's experiences, it also provides quite a lot of background on how WH developed his method, interviews with medical specialists, interviews with people who have benefited from the method, and experiences with other trainers using this and/or similar methods. Scott Carney is not the world's greatest writer, but overall the book is interesting, informative and reasonably rigorous. It just won't teach you how to do it. I don't think there are any books that do that.

Great book , as described , arrived really quickly

Balanced science based analysis of the benefits of Wim Hof and similar practices in relation to improving health. Enjoyably written to boot.

Awesome book. I recommend this to everyone to read. Very informative.

Amazing book , will explain with evidence why the Wim hoff method is great

As per the headline. The author tries the reader's patience by being verbose and trying to write lots of little stories. There is lots of unnecessary detail that does not add to the tale but adds to the word count, and does not add interest; not for this reader anyway. I cannot recommend this book; I would advise that anyone interested in this subject go straight to Wim Hof's own book.

This book is one of my Favourites - and it works! Cold shower helped me to reduce illness. I ve recommended it to everyone I know! Easy To read

Great book, informative and interesting, the author has just the right mix of fact and story. A great read, especially for those embarking on their Wim Hof method journey.

Ein interessantes Werk über die Zusammenarbeit des Autors mit Wim Hof und seiner Reise auf den Kilimanjaro. Carney belegt den Zusammenhang von Kälte und Atemtechnik in Bezug auf Leistungssteigerung und körperliche Transformation. Gut geschrieben, einfach zu verstehen und dennoch sehr detailliert.

At first I was critical about the book ant the whole method. And after reading it, I must admit it is one of the best books I have ever read. The style is fluent, he uses humor ( sometimes sarcastic ) . In his own way he explains in a language that everyone can easily understand ( only the measures are in feet/ Fahrenheit / inches ... -- in Europe you need to use a calculator ) how the Wim Hof method actually works. He also adds scientific proof and information. It is written as a novel, with stories of real people with real dis-eases that have recovered as in a miracle. They get to tell their own stories. Sometimes it is even very touching even. I think everyone should read it, especially people who are sceptic to people taking icecold showers, doing breathing exercises as if they may explode any minute, doing meditation, etc ... . I noted is is also available in French on Amazon. Also, it is a New York Times bestseller, it is-as of now- my favorite book in my shelf of many feet wide ;) . In short: not only does he answer the 'What?" , he also addressed the "Why?" and "How?"

No hay mejor palabra para definirlo. ESPECTACULAR. No es un libro, es una aventura. Ya llevaba tiempo practicándolo, pero desde luego no hay mejor oportunidad de ponerle historia y mayor enfásis al tema que a través de un libro como este. No puedo decir que sea el mejor porque no lo he comparado con otro de WHM, pero sin duda un libro que estoy disfrutando mucho.

Very interesting book.

Depuis la lecture de ce livre, chaque jour, je prend des douches avec que de l'eau froide. Moi qui, avant, prenais 10 min avant de rentrer dans la piscine.
