What Doesn’t Kill Us: A Practical Guide To Transforming Your Body And Unlocking Your Evolutionary Strength Book

Discover What Doesn't Kill Us: the bestselling guide to transforming your body by unlocking your lost evolutionary strength — a compelling, practical paperback for readers who want to push past comfort, reclaim resilience, and build a healthier life. Written by investigative journalist Scott Carney, this book is ideal for parents, athletic readers, teachers of health and fitness, and anyone curious about the science behind extreme training and human potential.

In What Doesn't Kill Us, Carney follows a four‑year, globe‑spanning investigation into breathwork, cold exposure and other counterintuitive techniques promoted by Dutch instructor Wim Hof. What begins as scepticism turns into rigorous exploration: from hyperventilating in a Polish farmhouse to underwater weight training in California, to climbing Mt Kilimanjaro in shorts and running shoes. Along the way he unpacks both the personal story and the science — showing readers how discomfort can be used deliberately to build strength, immunity and mental clarity.
