Review

*I received an advanced reader's copy through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.Wim Hof and his method are great; I do not doubt it - I even practice it myself at times. The beginning of this book made me feel excited. But after some chapters, my excitement has dimmed greatly. I must admit that, at least for now, YouTube and Wim's app and website seem like much better sources to learn about it all. I truly believe this book could become a great one, helping to popularize Wim's method, but it requires some serious work from a good editor. Some chapters feel like an exact repetition of many other ones. The fact that Wim, too, admits it to the reader does NOT help. It only made me more irritated, to be honest. Simply making this book a bit shorter (to avoid the constant repetitions) would make it way better. Also, please fix the chaos in the narration. This work really needs a better-organized narrative. On a similar note, the simplest version of the WMH breathing tips is spread out throughout the whole book. Why? Why can't the method be described very thoroughly and in one place? There is no video attachment in a book, no guided meditations - the instructions need to be clear from the very beginning. The same thing goes for the showers part. There is a surprising lack of consistency regarding the recommended length (recommendations being spread out on many pages, of course), and I do not mean the beginner/advanced differences. Additionally, referencing science and data is awesome, but it'd be great if an actual list of sources was added. On a completely separate note, while I do understand this is Wim's book and Wim's way of thinking, I can imagine quite a lot of people getting at least slightly annoyed at how he sometimes describes women and mothers - loads of stereotypes there. Nothing too terrible, but still. Let this be a small trigger warning for readers who keep feminist matters as close to their heart as I do. Also, please be careful of the suggestions that Hof's method can treat depression and similar illnesses without an adequate amount and quality of studies focused solely on this matter - this. is. dangerous. to. suggest. Sure, Wim's method can serve as an aid along the way, but do remember this is an illness that needs adequate care and treatment that has been thoroughly tested 💛
