Not a book but can be learned via YouTube.<p>The Wim Hof Method. Benefit: never feel unhappy because it’s cold ever again. Much less relevant benefit: you can now get free drugs at parties (it produces a lot of adrenaline when you do it, more than peak bungeejumping [1]). Or as a temporary pain killer, but you need to keep doing it.<p>Warning: do your own research [2]. Do not use it while diving (people died). It is not a free diving technique, no matter what anyone says. Train with someone watching you. Also consult your doctor before doing this, erring on the safe side here.<p>Disclaimer: Msc. Computer Science (aka not a doctor). I do know the WHM since 2014 and have done crazy trials with the legend himself. I checked some YouTube courses and they teach the fundamentals needed.<p>1. See their PNAS publication on WHM.<p>2. Doctor’s opinion: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;m.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=D6EPuUdIC1E" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;m.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=D6EPuUdIC1E</a>

I don&#x27;t think it works for everyone, but I&#x27;ve read a lot of good from people religiously applying the GTD[0] method. Though it is a very strict method and a lot of people will get discouraged quickly when trying to apply it.<p>[0] Getting things done - David Allen <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gettingthingsdone.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gettingthingsdone.com&#x2F;</a>
