What doesn't kill us

by Scott Carney

Critics' consensus

"Critics generally praise Carney's vivid, first-person storytelling and accessible science, while noting that his enthusiasm for Wim Hof's methods occasionally outpaces the rigorous skepticism one might expect from an investigative journalist."

Our ancestors crossed deserts, mountains, and oceans-- feats of endurance that now seem impossible without modern technology. Can we hack our bodies and use the environment to stimulate our inner biology? Carney explores the true connection between the mind and the body and reveals the science that allows us to push past our perceived limitations.
