This took me too long to read, it can be summed up in 3 chapters, the constant repetition made me anxious. I like how there are sources to the study but again, after the 4the chapter theres little relevant information.
Okay-ish? Great ideas but too whoozy for my liking, and I don't like it when people put themselves on the cover. You have a face, big dealio.

Imagine a guy who has just taken a phat hit from a bong and is now rambling about life and the meaning of it all. That's what this book descends into towards the end. It's worth reading the first half of the book though. The method is interesting and does make you feel different
(Disclosure: this is not as complete review, rather a clarification of the score I gave this book)
I am fundamentally convinced that the Wim Hof Method is credible and I have started with the cold immersion and the breathing for myself. (I even signed up for an online course about the WHM...) So on that basis this should have been a 5 star ⭐️ review...
However, I didn’t enjoy the flow of this book at all. This is probably a very personal judgment and opinion, but I felt that the story could have been much better told, with clearer boundaries between Wim’s personal story, his techniques, and the scientific evidence supporting his claims.

Three and a half stars for the wim hof method. There is a lot to like in this book. Enough that I am integrating cold water and modifying my morning meditation. It seems that there is some scientific backing to wim hof’s claims. The information slides a bit into mysticism and pseudoscience without really disclosing that it has left the realm of provable facts.

I received this book as a present because I practice the Wim Hof method already over one year. Naturally it came into my mind to compare my personal experience with the book. I most appreciated learning more details about the personal story of Wim Hof - he is indeed an incredible person. From the informative point of view, the content repeated quite a lot. Many chapters did not have any clear point and various ideas were sometimes bound together without a clear connection. I did not learn anything particularly new except that the method really works which reinforced my practise habit as a result.

The book could have been shorter, he hyped his method so much that it felt like an infomercial in the middle.
