Hacking the Body's Hidden Superpowers | Wim Hof EP 597

Wim Hof has spent decades pushing his body to superhuman feats in frigid waters and hazardous environments, learning to consciously regulate typically involuntary physiological processes while eliminating fears of mortality. Hof attributes much of his seemingly impossible abilities to the devoted spiritual seeking and intense cold exposure he began at 17, which enabled him to withstand over two minutes trapped under ice and catalyzed profound insights about the nature of suffering and consciousness. His continual quest to achieve the next record stems from a core belief that we can always go further when we commit wholly and reject limitations, as confronting self-imposed constraints allowed Hof to find beauty in apparent agony and peace while confronting death. Now dedicating his life to teaching others his methods, Hof wants to empower the public to realize we can all transcend imaginary boundaries to achieve the extraordinary.LISTEN TO THE FULL EPISODE!Sign up for the Greatness newsletter!
