Overview

Experience the remarkable life of New York Times bestselling author Wim Hof, “the Iceman,” through photos, stories, and original wisdom

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.”
