Ask HN: What book will significantly improve your life if you apply it?

Not a book but can be learned via YouTube.

The Wim Hof Method. Benefit: never feel unhappy because it’s cold ever again. Much less relevant benefit: you can now get free drugs at parties (it produces a lot of adrenaline when you do it, more than peak bungeejumping [1]). Or as a temporary pain killer, but you need to keep doing it.

Warning: do your own research [2]. Do not use it while diving (people died). It is not a free diving technique, no matter what anyone says. Train with someone watching you. Also consult your doctor before doing this, erring on the safe side here.

Disclaimer: Msc. Computer Science (aka not a doctor). I do know the WHM since 2014 and have done crazy trials with the legend himself. I checked some YouTube courses and they teach the fundamentals needed.

I don't think it works for everyone, but I've read a lot of good from people religiously applying the GTD[0] method. Though it is a very strict method and a lot of people will get discouraged quickly when trying to apply it.
