The Wim Hof Method: Activate Your Potential, Transcend Your Limits by Wim Hof
1.0
I feel like I’ve been saying this a lot, but again I wanted this to be good.
I first found out about Wim Hof from Eurovision 2020/1 artist James Newman (my GOAT btw, he paved the way for the UK’s better results in recent years). When I found the book was on offer on my birthday a couple of years ago when I first got my Kobo, I felt like it was a sign to just pick it up. Oh how wrong I was.
The book starts out by making numerous unsubstantiated claims about reversing various medical conditions and/or allowing people to deal with them better. I was so close to DNFing right there and then, but I decided to read the full book so I can hate more effectively.
The exercises themselves, cool I guess. I did actually enjoy the breathing a little bit (though I think I almost passed out at one point. not fun). There are no disclaimers about not doing this if you have heart problems until right at the end of the book.
If the book was just the exercises and didn’t make wild claims, I’d be on board. But the exercises take up less than one third of the book. The rest of the book makes very little sense structurally, and turns into “please try it, sure there’s facts about how it’s helpful but science is slow and the medical field hate me for moving people away from lucrative drugs”.
Oh and I forgot to mention how it has “certified instructors” to milk it further. That alone makes me feel justified in giving it a one star review. I don’t think I can recommend this to anyone unless I particularly despise them. Bleh. Save your time, money, and just watch a youtube about it.
