What would it be like to live unconditionally, uninhibited, and open to whatever comes your way? This was and is Wim Hof’s path―and it has led him to break world records for endurance and cold exposure, overturn scientific beliefs about what the human body is capable of, and transform the lives of millions. With Exposure, you’ll follow Wim’s journey from the early adult years to the present, experiencing the heartbreaks, joys, and triumphs of one of today’s most inspirational teachers. Immersive images from photographer Henny Boogert, Wim’s lifelong friend and chronicler, provide an unprecedented window into key events of Wim’s life. You’ll experience:
• Tender and intimate moments of family life, as well as great challenge, in the years that made the Iceman
• Playful experimentation in nature developing the principles that would become The Wim Hof Method
• Amazing feats of cold endurance―from the wilderness to Times Square
• Research trials confirming that the Iceman is no hoax and attesting to the powerful benefits of The Wim Hof Method
• The natural healing power the method has awakened in those who have learned it
Interwoven into this lavish photographic odyssey are Wim’s poetry, stories, and lessons attained from a lifetime of pushing past boundaries and defying expectations. “This is a book for the dreamer, for the person who wants to discover new frontiers,” says Wim. “My wish for you is to live fully every day with playfulness, attention, and soul knowing that you are capable of so much more than you realize.”
“The Iceman” Wim Hof is a Dutch athlete and multiple Guiness World Record holder known for his ability to withstand extreme cold and his extraordinary achievements. Wim believes that EVERYONE is capable of doing the same exceptional things his body allows him to do. That’s why he developed the Wim Hof Method - a combination of breathing exercises, cold therapy and commitment - to give YOU the tools to take control over your body. He’s on a mission to share the potential health benefits of his method, working with scientists around the world to prove that his techniques work.
