Hanging 2,000 meters above the ground<\/a><\/span> with just one finger, running<\/strong> a marathon through the Arctic Circle in temperatures of about -20 \u00b0C in shorts, sandals and drinking a beer, or staying in an ice tank<\/strong> for almost two hours?<\/strong> There seems to be no boundaries of the human mind for Wim Hof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps thanks to his incredible achievements and worldwide awareness of the benefits of hardening, breathing exercises, and  mind-setting<\/strong>, the ranks of his supporters and followers are skyrocketing. His popularity is also evidenced by the unprecedented media interest, with the well-known ice man appearing on Discovery Channel’s Superhuman Showdown<\/a><\/span> and being targeted by the lifestyle platform Vice<\/a><\/span> or the BBC<\/span> <\/a>as part of a documentary about the method he teaches around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Wim Hof’s method, in the words of the IceMan himself, should soon become the subject of scientific research in relation to improving mental health <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

His popularity and hunger for information, which he is happy to  pass on, is also evidenced by the fact that he is a frequent guest<\/strong> on a number of popular podcasts.<\/strong> He has appeared, for example, with the popular visionary, entrepreneur and experimenter Tim Ferris<\/a>, the ultra-persistent Rich Roll<\/a>, and the legendary Joe Rogan<\/a>, where he mentions that he wants to direct<\/strong> his research into improving mental health<\/strong>. Possible benefits can even surpass the results of scientifically proven mindfulness. His interest in helping people with mental health problems stems from a tragic life event when his depressed wife Olaya committed suicide in 1995 when she jumped from the 8th floor of the apartment building where they lived together. Wim from one day<\/strong> to the next suddenly had to take care of the four children<\/strong> they had together. It was the hardening<\/a> that soon became part of the Wim Hof method that helped him come to terms with the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Wim Hof appeared in a John Newman’s music video and was also invited to work with Burnley Football Club<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

British singer James Newman also invited Wim Hof to collaborate on the video. In 2020, they co-starred in a video<\/span><\/a> for Newman’s song, My Last Breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

His know-how in the form of the Wim Hof Method, which he passes on to people all over the world in the form of online or offline courses, is still craved by many, as evidenced by Wim Hof’s association with FC Burnley<\/a><\/span>, a football club in the English Premier League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
