What Doesn’t Kill Us: How Freezing Water, Extreme Altitude and Environmental
Conditioning Will Renew Our Lost Evolutionary Strength
What Doesn't Kill Us traces our evolutionary journey back to a time when survival
depended on how well we adapted to the environment around us. Our ancestors
crossed the Alps in animal skins and colonized the New World in loin cloths. They
evaded predators and built civilizations with just their raw brainpower and inner grit.
But things have changed and now comfort is king. Today we live in the thrall of
constant climate control and exercise only when our office schedules permit. The
technologies that we use to make us comfortable are so all-encompassing that they
sever the biological link to a changing environment. Now we hate the cold and the
heat. We suffer from autoimmune diseases. And many of us are chronically
overweight. Most of us don't even realize that natural variation--sweating and
shivering--is actually good for us. What Doesn't Kill Us uncovers how just about
anyone can reclaim a measure of our species' evolutionary strength by tapping into
the things that feel uncomfortable. When we slightly reimagine how our body fits into
the world, we can condition ourselves to find resilience in unfamiliar
environments.The feeling that something is missing from our daily routines is growing
and has spawned a movement. Every year, millions of people forgo traditional gyms
and push the limits of human endurance by doing boot camp style workouts in raw
conditions. These extreme athletes train in CrossFit boxes, compete in Tough Mudders
and challenge themselves in Spartan races. They are connecting with their
environment and, whether they realize it or not, are changing their bodies. No one
exemplifies this better than Dutch fitness guru Wim Hof, whose remarkable ability to
control his body temperature in extreme cold has sparked a whirlwind of scientific
study. Because of him, scientists in the United States and Europe are just beginning
to understand how cold adaptation might help combat autoimmune diseases and
chronic pains and, in some cases, even reverse diabetes. Award winning investigative
journalist, Scott Carney dives into the fundamental philosophy at the root of this
movement in three interlocking narratives. His own journey culminates in a record
bending 28-hour climb up to the snowy peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro wearing nothing but a
pair of running shorts and sneakers.
