The Way of the Iceman came out in 2017, but you can find articles from the 2020s where he tells the canal story instead. I do find that book to be the most interesting version of his backstory in part because of how badly written and off-putting it is.

The best things said about it
His book, The Way of the Iceman, gives us very little detail on the long gap between Olea's suicide and his rise to prominence.
In his book The Way of the Iceman, he claims he came out as something of a surprise, quote, "after his mother had given birth to his twin brother, Andre.
In the Way of the Iceman though he gives a different story as to why he decides to get into conquering the mountains and doing weird cold weather stuff.
Now in the way of the ican he claims that this process started when he was nine and that his interest was sparked by his older brother who had hitch tied around the Middle East and the Far East.
But oddly enough he doesn't list it as part of his journey in the Way of the Iceman there he goes for a more exotic story claiming that he traveled to India as a young adult.
Why people recommend it
The Way of the Iceman by Wim Hof is a self-help and biographical book co-authored by Wim Hof and Koen De Jong that outlines the Dutch extreme athlete's cold-training methods and personal philosophy. Robert Evans discussed the publication across multiple episodes of Behind the Bastards, focusing on the contradictions and peculiar claims found within its pages. Evans pointed out that the book provides very little detail regarding the lengthy gap between a tragic personal event in Hof's life and his eventual rise to global prominence. He also highlighted a strange claim in the text regarding the circumstances of Hof's birth, where Hof asserts he arrived as a surprise shortly after his mother gave birth to his twin brother Andre. Furthermore, Evans examined the conflicting timelines and anecdotes presented in the book, noting that Hof offers a different origin story for his pursuit of extreme cold-weather endurance and mountain climbing compared to stories he told in later interviews. Despite criticizing the book as poorly written and off-putting, Evans remarked that he finds it to be the most fascinating version of Hof's evolving backstory due to its unusual narrative choices.
