With Exposure, you'll follow Wim's journey from the early adult years to the present, experiencing the heartbreaks, joys, and triumphs of one of today's most inspirational teachers.

Immersive images from photographer Henny Boogert, Wim's lifelong friend and chronicler, provide an unprecedented window into key events of Wim's life. You'll experience:
- Tender and intimate moments of family life, as well as great challenge, in the years that made the Iceman

Interwoven into this lavish photographic odyssey are Wim's poetry, stories, and lessons attained from a lifetime of pushing past boundaries and defying expectations.

"This is a book for the dreamer, for the person who wants to discover new frontiers," says Wim. "My wish for you is to live fully every day with playfulness, attention, and soul knowing that you are capable of so much more than you realize."
