The Superhuman World of Wim Hof: The Iceman

Wim Hof first caught the attention of scientists when he proved he was able to use meditation to stay submerged in ice for 1 hour and 53 minutes without his core body temperature changing. Since then, hes climbed Mount Everest in his shorts, resisted altitude sickness, completed a marathon in the Namib Desert with no water and proven under a laboratory setting that hes able to influence his autonomic nervous system and immune system at will. Almost everything Wim has done was previously thought to be impossible but hes not a freak of nature. To demonstrate that any human can learn his methods, Wim offered to teach Matt Shea and DaisyMay Hudson to climb a freezing cold mountain in their shorts without getting cold. But when Matt and Daisy signed up for the training, they had no idea that the socalled Iceman was planning to lead them on a psychedelic journey across Europe that circled the chasm between science, spirituality and mystery.
