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 ancestors? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInvestigative journalist and anthropologist Scott Carney takes up the challenge to find out: Can we hack our bodies and use the environment to stimulate our inner biology? Helping him in his search for the answers is Dutch fitness guru Wim Hof, whose ability to control his body temperature in extreme cold has sparked a whirlwind of scientific study. Carney also enlists input from an Army scientist, a world-famous surfer, the founders of an obstacle course race movement, and ordinary people who have documented how they have cured autoimmune diseases, lost weight, and reversed diabetes. In the process, he chronicles his own transformational journey as he pushes his body and mind to the edge of endurance, a quest that culminates in a record-bending, 28-hour climb to the snowy peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro wearing nothing but a pair of running shorts and sneakers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn ambitious blend of investigative reporting and participatory journalism, \u003ci\u003eWhat Doesn’t Kill Us\u003c\/i\u003e explores the true connection between the mind and the body and reveals the science that allows us to push past our perceived limitations.","brand":"Scott Carney","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":45894958743764,"sku":"9781635652413","price":22.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/9208\/files\/BNCImageAPI_fb52a287-90d4-4488-afc2-4e45f572e1ae.jpg?v=1732378974","url":"https:\/\/penguinshop.ca\/products\/9781635652413","provider":"Penguin Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
