extreme athleteThrive or die: That's the rule of evolution.
Despite this brutal logic, some species have learned to survive
in even the most hostile conditions. Others couldn't&#8212an
perished. While incremental genetic adaptations hone the
physiology of nearly every creature on this planet, there's
another evolutionary force that is just as important: the power
of choice. In this explosive investigation into the limits of
endurance, journalist Scott Carney discovers how humans can
wedge control over automatic physiological responses into the

breaking point between stress and biology. We can reclaim our
evolutionary destiny.In his New York Times bestseller, What
Doesn't Kill Us, Carney submerged himself in ice water and
learned breathing techniques from daredevil fitness guru Wim
Hof. It gave him superhuman levels of endurance and quieted
a persistent autoimmune illness. At the core of those methods
is a technique called The Wedge that can give a person an
edge in just about any situation.In this thrilling exploration of
the limits and potential of the human body, Carney searches
the globe for people who understand the subtle language of
how the body responds to its environment. He confronts fear at
a cutting-edge neuroscience laboratory at Stanford, and learns
about flow states by tossing heavy weights with partners. He
meets masters of mental misdirection in the heat of a Latvian
sauna, experiments with breathing routines that bring him to
the cusp of transcendence, searches his mind in sensory
deprivation tanks, and ultimately ends up in the Amazon jungle
with a shaman who promises either madness or universal
truth. All of this in service of trying to understand what we're
really capable of. What can we accomplish when we there are
no true human limits?
