Titles in This Set The Wim Hof Method: Activate Your Potential, Transcend Your Limits by Wim Hof What Doesn't Kill Us: How Freezing Water, Extreme Altitude and Environmental Conditioning Will Renew Our Lost Evolutionary Strength by Scott Carney Details Condition: New Format: Paperback Publisher: Rider (The Wim Hof Method); Scribe (What Doesn't Kill Us) Age Range: Adult Overview This two-book paperback set pairs Wim Hof's own account of the method that made him famous with Scott Carney's outsider investigation into whether it actually works. Together they offer a rounded look at cold exposure, breathwork and resilience training - part manifesto, part myth-busting reportage - ideal for readers curious about wellness trends backed by real testing rather than hype. About the Books The Wim Hof Method is the personal manifesto of Dutch athlete and multiple Guinness World Record holder Wim Hof, known worldwide as "The Iceman" for feats including climbing Kilimanjaro in shorts and running a barefoot half-marathon in the Arctic Circle. In this Sunday Times bestseller, Hof shares his life story and the three-pillar approach - Cold, Breathing and Mindset - refined over four decades and studied by scientists worldwide. The paperback lays out practical breathing exercises and cold exposure guidance designed to build resilience, energy and calm. Its companion, What Doesn't Kill Us, comes from the opposite direction: journalist Scott Carney's four-year investigation into Hof's claims. What began as scepticism after Carney spotted a photo of a man sitting on a glacier in his underwear turned into a journey through Polish farmhouses, Californian underwater weight training and Kilimanjaro itself, as Carney tested the science behind cold exposure and breathwork himself. A New York Times bestseller and Book of the Year pick for The Times and Evening Standard, it reads as gripping narrative non-fiction while quietly interrogating whether the method truly unlocks lost evolutionary strength. Two complementary perspectives in one set - Hof's first-person method plus Carney's independent investigation. Step-by-step breathing and cold exposure techniques straight from the source. An engaging, journalistic narrative that tests the claims rather than simply repeating them. Both titles are Sunday Times / New York Times bestsellers with strong review credentials. Compact paperback format, easy to read side by side or as standalone titles. A thoughtful gift set for anyone interested in wellness, breathwork or cold therapy. About the Authors Wim Hof, "The Iceman", is a Dutch athlete and multiple Guinness World Record holder celebrated for extreme cold endurance feats and for developing the Wim Hof Method, working with scientists internationally. Scott Carney is an investigative journalist and author whose work blends anthropology, adventure and scepticism; his four-year exploration of Hof's world forms the basis of What Doesn't Kill Us, praised for balancing scientific curiosity with page-turning storytelling. Why You'll Love This Wellness Book Set Get both sides of the story: the method itself, straight from its creator, and an independent journalist's rigorous, real-world test of whether it delivers.
