Our ancestors crossed deserts, mountains, and oceans without even a whisper of what anyone today might consider modern technology. Those feats of endurance now seem impossible in an age where we take comfort for granted. But what if we could regain some of our lost evolutionary strength by simulating the environmental conditions of our forebears? Humans like to be comfortable. When it’s hot we switch on the air conditioning and when it’s cold we crank up the central heating. Yet thousands of us take part in challenges like Tough Mudder, Total Warrior and Survival of the Fittest, which take us well and truly out of our comfort zones. Scott Carney spent his days sitting at a desk staring at a screen. Approaching his mid-30s, he told himself that it was normal for his stomach to sag and for his legs to ache from under-use. Then he came across a picture of a nearly naked man twenty years his senior sitting on a glacier: Dutch guru Wim Hof, whose remarkable ability to control his body temperature in extreme cold has sparked a whirlwind of scientific study. Carney signed up to Hof’s one-week course, not realising that it would be the start of a four-year journey to unlock his own evolutionary potential. From hyperventilating in a dilapidated Polish farm house, to underwater weight-lifting with celebrities in California, What Doesn’t Kill Us sees Carney interview athletes, trainers and scientists about the astonishing and sometimes dangerous world of body transformation. He takes part in the UK’s original ― and most difficult ― obstacle course: Tough Guy, and completes a record-bending, 28-hour climb to the snowy peak of Mt Kilimanjaro, wearing nothing but a pair of shorts and running shoes. Above all, he learns that getting a little less comfortable might actually be the key to living a healthier, happier life. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 15.1 x 2.5 x 23.1 cm | | Isbn 10 | 1911344196 | | Isbn 13 | 978-1911344193 | | Item Weight | 401 g | | Language | English | | Print Length | 272 pages | | Publication Date | 11 May 2017 | | Publisher | Scribe UK | ## Images ![What Doesn't Kill Us: how freezing water, extreme altitude, and environmental conditioning will renew our lost evolutionary strength: 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ssYHNEWIL.jpg) ![What Doesn't Kill Us: how freezing water, extreme altitude, and environmental conditioning will renew our lost evolutionary strength: 1 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Av78r1eYL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really enjoyable plus informative read. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 26 January 2021* I enjoyed meeting the many characters within this book and hearing the various stories; from stories of amazing athleticism to those of normal people finding relief from their physical suffering. I though Scott blended scientific findings with anecdotal evidence in a way that prevented the book from ever being dry. I was almost sad to finish it and say goodbye to all of the interesting people;including, but not limited to, Win Hof himself.I've been reading it alongside using the method via the Win Big breathing app which I've been enjoying. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Otherwise worth the money and useful (I'm a sports coach) *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 9 January 2018* Decent book, lots of information regarding breathing and exercises, sometimes a hard read due to small print and lots of detail! Otherwise worth the money and useful (I'm a sports coach). Most of all the book made me think about certain aspects of sports performance. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fascinating book about the benefits of environmental conditioning. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 11 October 2018* This book gives a broad outline of modern environmental conditioning techniques which can be used to improve fitness, circulation and has a variety of other health benefits. The book is well written and will appeal to anyone interested in sports and physiology. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/48803664-what-doesnt-kill-us-how-freezing-water-extreme-altitude-environmental](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/48803664-what-doesnt-kill-us-how-freezing-water-extreme-altitude-environmental) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
