In this brief monologue, Wim Hof asserts that every person has an inherent purpose tied to their incarnation, yet many fail to live it due to doubt, depression, disease, and conflict. He proposes that conscious breathing restores control over one's emotions—what he describes as the "steering wheel of the soul." Hof references neuroscientific findings that identify key components of autonomous brain processes, traditionally viewed as operating outside the will. He claims that through breathwork, individuals can bring these autonomous mechanisms within the realm of personal will, thereby reclaiming agency over their emotional and mental states.

Chapters

Everybody is having a purpose. That's why we got this incarnation, this body of ours. But nobody is living to it. And too much doubt going on, too much depression and disease and wars and all that. So the breath simply gives you back the steering wheel of your soul, your emotion. This is what they said, the neuroscientists. Now we have the compelling evidence of the key components of the autonomous processes in the brain. Autonomy is outside the will. Now we got the key and we— it's inside of our will.
