Where was the editor!?
This is a sweet little book telling, in alternate chapters, the story of Wim Hof's various extraordinary achievements and Justin Rosales's journey to study with him. Wim has workman-like prose. Justin, unfortunately, is a terrible writer. At first this is deeply annoying; Wim provides an interesting chapter about climbing Kilimanjaro or marathons in the arctic, then Justin follows up with over-detailed descriptions of his travel arrangements, his shopping habits, his school..more

Reads like a 7th grader's book report. 'I did this. Then I did this. I was so excited that I did that. The end.'
Hmm, I kinda like this book despite myself. The editing is atrocious, the science sounds highly suspect, but after 50 pages or so, I was charmed by both authors and didn't care anymore. The book starts in Dutchman Wim 'The Iceman' Hof's voice, describing his life briefly, explaining his ability to withstand extreme cold and the health benefits he feels he has gained from his cold exposure experiences. Then the book switches to Justin Rosales perspective. Justin is a young college student in Amer..more

This was not a good read. In fact, it was a terrible read. It’s pretty obvious the authors (Wim Hof and his protégé, Justin Rosales) are not writers.
The book’s message? Wim Hof is not unique. Anyone can become like the iceman.
You’re welcome, you don’t have to read it now.
But don’t get me wrong. I’m a huge fan of and believe in Wim Hof and his methods. I’m just not a fan of this book. At all. So if you, like me, want to learn about the science behind Wim Hof’s methods, and want to learn how to p..more

The knowledge contained in this book is invaluable.
If you are looking for practical knowledge that you would like to apply on yourself, for the betterment of your physical health and character, then this is a real gem.
Thank you Wim and Justin for sharing your experiences!
P.S. The quality of presentation is rather poor and could put off a lot of people (especially native English speakers).

Wim Hof is one of my greatest inspirations. I was so happy he wrote a book and it does a great job inspiring and convincing people that they too can achieve what Wim Hof has. He's not a superhuman, he has had a strategy all along which can be used by others.
The writing on this really qualifies as a 2 star, it needs a ghost writer and a copy editor, but I'm giving it 3 stars because I really like Wim Hof and his message. If you're interested in learning more about him and his techniques, I'd skip this book, check out his Youtube videos, and perhaps sign up for his course which is quite neat.

Wim Hof, the Iceman, is a fascinating, fascinating story. What he's been able to do with his body, against all odds and against known scientific 'truths' is nothing short of astounding. Many of his feats are so out there they are difficult to believe without seeing video evidence.

I was expecting to read more how Wim came to this and his up and down, because Justin's story is not interesting, since he had initial desire which has been heavily supported by Wim and helped him to broke through. But there are 2 things, which I learned from this book:
- embrace and like cold, and try to see a great transforming power in it.
- relax and just do it.
Maybe it is not needed entire book and such take aways can be easily taken from any other such kind of books :).

This book could have had so much better potential. I was really excited to hear more about Wim and his process, as well as how to develop those skills better. However the book is just poorly written and there were a lot of egregious mistakes. That being said, the book was still endearing and inspiring, in a quaint sort of way. I wouldn’t read it again.
I'm interested in Wim Hof and his method, I'm doing the breathwork and cold showers myself. However, this book is horrible. A few interesting nuggets buried under loads of irrelevant sidestories, boring minutiae and just general gibberish. I'm very disappointed.
Easy read. Nice biography about the Hof and a parallel story about another man that wants to become an Iceman. The book's last few chapters include methods and techniques for cold exposure and mental stamina.
I second anyone who thought the editing was horrible. There are some inspiring stories, but the writing is not good at all.
Seeing how Wim and Justin were able to train their minds and bodies is more effectively relayed with the YouTube videos referenced in the text.

Wish they talked a little bit more about meditation. Hoping Wim writes another book about his meditation experiences. Hoping Wim can get money together to do a revision of this ebook correcting errors. They kind of jumped into making a book without realizing how expensive it would be.

Could use editing for length and grammar. Perhaps intersperse the methods in between the stories for better flow.

A bit self-aggrandizing and false humility. Challenging to go through with it and also several typos. A bit carelessly written.
Interesting stories, but poorly written. Wim Hof's god is the power that comes from within and he gets that through the cold, breathing, and meditation.
I've read about the breathing and cold exercises both in this book and elsewhere, and there have been studies showing that they actually do help with circulation and your immune system. I'm interested in embracing the cold and building a tolerance to it because it seems like a man thing to do living in a cold climate, but I probably won't get bey..more

This book is pretty good but does have some flaws. It's co-authored by Wim and Justin. Wim's contributions are really interesting. He describes some of his major challenges and records and how he coped with them. I found his words to be really passionate and motivating. Justin makes a good contribution describing how he adjusted to the cold and the content of the training Wim put him through at a training course in Poland.

Unfortunately, the writing style made great moments taste as if through a plastic foil & a numb tongue (dull and flavourless). Maybe that's a pending improvement for the next edition.

Sad to say this is one of the worst books I've ever tried to read (full disclosure: I made it through 120 pages and just couldn't do it anymore, so skimmed the rest.) What a disappointment, given that the subject material is really of great interest to me--the power of the mind to overcome physical boundaries through focus, meditation and willpower.

Becoming the Iceman is mainly Wim Hof's story of how he became known and broke several world records, and Justin Rosales' account of how he went from one day watching 'the iceman' on a youtube clip, to train with him in Poland and eventually break a world record on his own next to Wim.

I have become slightly obsessed with learning about The Wim Hof method. It started with a documentary I saw on Vice and then immediately after that I heard Wim on the Joe Rogan podcast. That show really had hooked on the mysterious and seemingly magical powers of Wim Hof. Wim is able to withstand cold temperatures; he has used this ability to train himself to control the inner workings of his body; and he has been able to complete some seemingly superhuman feats in his journey of self-mastery an..more
After reading this book, I now really want to learn the Iceman's technique. Wouldn't it be great I think to withstand cold weather conditions without having to wrap yourself up in layers of clothing?! I think the message the book tries to convey is very inspiring - not only does it talk about physical stamina, but spiritual too. Unfortunately, the structure and editing of the book leave much to be desired. I actually skipped most of the chronicles/sloppy diary entries (for the lack of better wor..more
I read this while living in Moscow, Russia. I had for some reason decided that I wanted to go 'jump in the lake' during the winter I was staying there, and so I needed some serious advice for enduring cold climates. Wim Hof is simply out of this world. Go check out some of his achievements! Pretty hardcore I'd say. Do not read it for the prose or because you want to learn something more about Wim. Read it because you need the information, because that is where the book is best. How to actually,..more

A well intentioned book that inspires me to embrace the cold as a way to learn more about our body and get the health benefits of it. I feel a good opportunity to apply some of the ideas since I live in Norway, that can be really cold. The most important idea of the book for me is to change my mindset about the cold weather particularly, and generally the idea of comfort. Comfort should not limit our way to reach our human potentials.

“In the Bhagavad Gita they say, 'The mind under control is your best friend, the mind wandering about is your worst enemy.' Make it your best friend, to the point where you can rely on it. Your mind makes you strong from within. It is your wise companion. The sacrifices you make will be rewarded. Life doesn't change, but your perception does. It's all about what you focus on. Withdraw from the world's influence and no longer be controlled by your emotions. If you can grab the wheel of your mind, you can steer the direction of where your life will go.” — 16 likes
