Wim Hof says suffering is a teacher that guides you back inward. Pain signals tell you to reconnect with your true self and recognize your inherent greatness. Welcome it as a lesson to return to wholeness.

Chapters

What is the purpose of suffering? To go beyond, to learn of the suffering. Pain signals are like suffering, but all emotional pain also is suffering. There are many ways of suffering, and they all teach you one thing: go back in, connect, become holy where it is separated. So learn that pain in any way, emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually, are all indications to come back. So pain, suffering is a teacher, and welcome the teacher to go back to who you are and what you are, because you are amazing.
