WHAT DOESN KILL US - SCOTT CARNEY KARTONIERT (TB)

What Doesn't Kill Us  a New York Times bestseller  traces our evolutionary journey back to a
time when survival depended on how well we adapted to the environment around us. Our ancestors
crossed deserts  mountains  and oceans without even a whisper of what anyone today might
consider modern technology. 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? Investigative 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. An ambitious
blend of investigative reporting and participatory journalism  What Doesn't Kill Us explores
the true connection between the mind and the body and reveals the science that allows us to
push past our perceived limitations.
