    Wim Hof was shaped by an early love of nature and dramatic encounters with the cold.

    Wim Hof’s life began with a struggle. His identical twin, Andre, was born first, and the doctors almost missed Hof, mistaking his presence for his mother’s contractions. And so he was born in the cold hospital corridor, struggling for breath.

    As an adult, he understood this early struggle had left a deep, unconscious imprint on him – pushing him to embrace life to its fullest.

    Following his difficult entrance into the world, Hof enjoyed a childhood spent out in nature. He believes this was equally formative.

    The key message here is: Wim Hof was shaped by an early love of nature and dramatic encounters with the cold.

    As a child, Hof played in the woods near his home city of Sittard in the Netherlands. Along with his twin brother and friends, he played at being Tarzan, swinging from the trees on old bicycle tires. He preferred to spend all day making tree-houses and digging underground rather than study or attend church. He’d even cook in the forest, baking potatoes in an open fire, and eating them with a little salt.

    This early relationship with nature was vital to him. It stimulated and developed his senses, and gave him a deeply rooted sense of his place in the world.

    Hof and his friends would even build little igloos in the snow. One day, when all of his friends went home, Hof stayed inside the igloo, feeling a nice kind of glow from the freezing ice. His parents found him much later, peacefully dozing . . . but in the early stages of hypothermia! Thankfully, they’d found him in time to revive him. But this would hardly be his last encounter with the cold.

    At 17, Hof moved to Amsterdam to live in a squat. There, he could think freely and make music, living outside of societal norms and conventions.

    One freezing Sunday in Amsterdam's Beatrixpark, Hof felt a sudden, mysterious urge to swim naked in the freezing water. Just like in that cozy igloo as a child, the cold didn’t repel him. He recalls feeling liberated by its power.

    More than that, he felt liberated by his own power. If he could withstand this cold, he thought, then what else could he do? Inspired by the cold, he began to sense hidden reserves in the human mind – he could be much more than he’d ever imagined.

    Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

    Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

    Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll
