The Unfortunate Truth About Wim Hof

Video Description

This is my final report on Wim Hof—the charismatic ice-guru who exposed me to the magic of breathwork and cold exposure. Since I first met Hof in 2013 he has become increasingly erratic and even dangerous. Today a new edition of my New York Times bestselling book What Doesn’t Kill Us is officially for sale and I’d love you to pick up a copy or download the audiobook on Audible. (Incidentally, if you already have a copy from Audible you can just re-download the book to access the new files for free). I’m setting the record straight about Hof because of the prominent endorsements I gave him over the course of a decade. I still believe in the transformative power of various environmental exposure and breathwork regimens, it’s just that Wim can no longer be the face of the movement. Over the last two years I’ve collected archival footage of Hof, interviewed dozens of people whose family members’ died following Wim’s instructions and endured near-constant abuse from his cult-like devotees who would rather call me “Judas” in the pantheon of Hof than look at the evidence with clear eyes. The video I’m putting out today collects the most important pieces of Hof’s story that ultimately made me change my mind about him.
