Wim Hof describes a cold-water plunge so fast he almost missed the shock, using it to show how overthinking creates paralysis. Excessive analysis and rumination block action more than any physical challenge ever could.

Chapters

3, 2, 1. When I landed, the shock of the cold water was a little bit lost on me. So like, I came out and it was almost so fast that I didn't have time. And that has been one of the big things that I've taken away from this. The amount of time thinking that leads to overthinking. That leads to over-analysis, that leads to paralysis, that leads to shame because you now can't do it, that you create all these blockages because you've thought so much about a thing.
