Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
'Read this book! Hotwired is a masterpiece of story-driven science that unpacks that health benefits of heat.' Dan Buettner, National Geographic Fellow, New York Times bestselling author and founder of the Blue Zones
A radical exploration of how our bodies can harness heat for optimum health by #1 New York Times bestselling co-author of Outlive.
In Hotwired, science editor Bill Gifford explores how heat can improve our performance and our health. Combining cutting-edge science, personal discovery and practical insights, Gifford reveals how humans evolved to excel in hot conditions – and how we’ve lost touch with this ancient advantage.
He plunges into the steamy world of Finnish saunas, serves as a test subject in heat labs and tackles a 100-mile bike ride under the blazing Texas sun to show how exposing ourselves to discomfort can expand our physical and mental limits. He even explores how infrared sauna therapy and cold plunging could fight depression more effectively than medication. And he examines how, in cities around the globe, social saunas are reviving communal wellness.
Whether you want to perform better, extend your lifespan or adapt to a warming planet, Gifford shows you the incredible benefits of reawakening your body’s natural adaptability to heat and cold. Hotwired is a thrilling call to reimagine heat – not as a threat, but as a tool for strength, resilience and longevity.
