" You are stronger than you think ", this is the motto of the Dutchman Wim Hoff, otherwise known as the Iceman.
He has introduced a large number of celebrities or ordinary citizens to the method by which he says he can control the immune and nervous systems.
His method may not be scientifically proven, but many celebrities, including Tom Cruise, Jim Carrey, David Beckham, Oprah Winfrey and Gwyneth Paltrow follow him fanatically, and his life will be turned into a movie starring Joseph Fiennes.
Iceman shows that he has learned to control his breathing, heart rate and blood circulation, and thus manages to withstand extreme temperatures.
"I'm not afraid of death, I'm only afraid of not living a full life," is another of his mottos.
Wim Hoff has secured himself a place in the Guinness Book of Records after staying in an ice tank for more than 112 minutes.
This is not his only achievement. In the past he has climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in shorts, run a half-marathon barefoot above the Arctic Circle, swam 66 meters under ice and ran across the Namib Desert without drinking anything.
