Wim Hof Method

Wim Hof - Wikipedia

"Happy, Strong, Healthy mindset"


Welcome to the Official Wim Hof Method Website

Wim Hof Method® is a way to keep your body and mind in its optimal natural state.

For most of our evolutionary history, a merciless natural environment automatically did this for us: sub-zero temperatures, howling winds and hungry wolves kept our muscles and veins supple, and our minds sharp and clear.

Fast forward to today, and phones are exhausting our brains, while the rest of our body wastes away as we sit in toasty rooms strapped to stiffening chairs.

As a result, those natural defenses are no longer on high alert. We fall ill more easily. We stress out, lose sleep, and wake up without focus or energy.

book: Good to Great by Jim Collins

this is a classic, popular, an controversial series of books, for a reason

the ideas are well researched and very convincing, but 
after a while, many of representative stories stopped to be valid at all.

That begs a question: while this is an interesting research and stories, 
are they useful? Meaning, we have limited time need not only "convincing" stories", "useful" is needed!

Part of problem is this religious-like conviction of the author
that does not allow space that this may be noise in the dataset.
Take on your own risk.


Amazon.com: Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap...And Others Don't eBook : Collins, Jim: Kindle Store

Good to Great - Wikipedia

a management book by Jim C. Collins that describes how companies transition from being good companies to great companies, and how most companies fail to make the transition.

Jim Collins - Concepts - The Hedgehog Concept



The Hedgehog Concept is developed in the book Good to Great. 

A simple, crystalline concept that flows from deep understanding about the intersection of three circles:

  1. what you are deeply passionate about,
  2. what you can be the best in the world at, and
  3. what best drives your economic or resource engine.
Transformations from good to great come about by a series of good decisions made consistently with a Hedgehog Concept, supremely well executed, accumulating one upon another, over a long period of time.
