"For most of her life, Libby DeLana believed she hated the cold-fear of cold became part of her identity. Then, in a dark period of deep personal turmoil and self-doubt, an impromptu dip in icy water cracked something open in her heart, forcing her to reexamine the limiting stories she told herself. If she could learn to love cold, what other beautiful life experiences might await? In this exhilarating guide to well-being, DeLana explores how a daily cold plunging practice taught her self-love, courage, and resilience, illuminating the physical, mental, and spiritual benefits of cold water. Combining personal storytelling with step-by-step guidance and essential tips for safety, plus fascinating details on the science and history of cold immersion, Cold Joy provides everything you need to experience the tremendous power of cold water-whether you're dipping in a sea, lake, river, or tub. Equal parts inspiring and instructive, and featuring breathtaking photographs throughout, this is a must-have companion for anyone curious about cold plunging and a stirring call to open your heart to new adventures, new possibilities, and new joys"-- Provided by publisher.
