Cold Feat

How I Froze My Mid-Life Crisis Right Off...

By: Jason Donnelly

Narrated by: Jason Donnelly

This book is a sharp-witted, deeply personal journey penned by Jason Donnelly into the heart of a modern mid-life crisis. This book is not just another clichéd self-help guide but a rollicking tale of transformation through unexpected methods, primarily, the shockingly cold world of ice bathing.

Navigating through life’s turbulent mid-section with a unique blend of humor, raw honesty, and resilience, Jason recounts his descent into the icy depths of his mid-life crisis and the unusual therapy that helped him freeze his problems right off. Amidst navigating life's highs and lows, Jason confronts the loss of his mother-in-law to cancer and a significant weight loss journey, all while dipping into the chilly temperatures of his homemade ice bath(s).

With stories from 13 other ice bath enthusiasts contributing their frosty anecdotes, Jason demonstrates how he turned his life around and discovered a passion for cold bathing that led to physical health benefits and a fresh perspective on life. These stories further provide diverse experiences and insights on the icy self-improvement method, creating a rich tapestry of voices that echo the central theme of perseverance amidst adversity.

In Cold Feat, the icy world of cold baths becomes more than just a new-age health fad—it morphs into a metaphor for the mid-life crisis itself. As you soak in Jason's sarcasm-infused commentary, you'll uncover the profound transformation hidden beneath the frosty surface of ice baths. You'll see how the cold can thaw the most stuck-in-the-ice life situations and help melt away pounds, stress, and, most importantly, a mid-life crisis.

Very relatable!

I’ve been on this cold journey myself for a couple of years and could relate to so many things the author talked about. I also follow some of the same people he included and I’ve been inspired by them as well. This book has also got me thinking about my journey / story and thinking of ways I can better share it. Well done and thanks for the inspiration!

The inspiration you need to take back control of your life.

This book and the techniques will undoubtably change your life. All it takes is an open mind, some discipline and a committed attitude. Thrilled there are great books like this one to naturally change your life! -Seth

Ice baths: where shivers meet self-discovery

I was completely captivated by Jason Donnelly's insightful exploration of midlife crisis and its unexpected connection to cold bathing in his book. The way he intertwines personal experiences, psychological depth, and the practice of cold bathing is truly remarkable. Donnelly's voice is like listening to a friend on the phone, giving non judgmental advice while cracking jokes about his own different journey. Great listen!

"Best cold bathing book out!" - Jason Donnelly

If you’re considering ice bathing or just want to hear an incredible experience about it and possibly some tips for the future, this is the book to get. I know the guy who wrote it. He's very fun. And attractive. And humble.

More than a categorical “self help”

Jason writes as if you are in the room with him, having a drink, and discussing the finer points of a mid-life crisis. But the book is not limited to that. It delves into life, the mental and physical, and of course…. Cold plunging (or ice bathing - whatever terminology makes you happy). And if his encouragement to begin your cold journey weren’t enough, the reader is then treated to numerous stories by contributors about their journey’s to cold, life, and the passion to keep going when life feel bleak. This is primed to be the new “go to” for anyone looking to get into cold plunging or just starting out. It is well worth the read or listen. Happy plunging!
