Editorial Reviews

Pain. It's something most of us go out of our way to avoid. Yet each day, throughout the world, daring individuals voluntarily subject themselves to the most extraordinary torture - testing the very limits of their body, mind and spirit. Watch as these men and women calmly endure feats of grueling agony, attaining a level of pain that most would find simply unbearable. Span the globe and see the human body pushed to amazing extremes. Travel to New York, where a former Shaolin Monk from China's Henan Province immerses his hand in sub-freezing water and breaks boards on his torso - without even flinching. In India, meet a group of Sadhu holy men who sit in a ring of fire, quietly meditating while flames rage mere inches away from their skin. And follow a unique extremist as he subjects himself to self-mutilation during the curious Easter week rites of the Philippine village, San Pedro Cutud. Witness the impressive physical and mental methodologies behind these stunning triumphs of the will and learn how these mere mortals can withstand the most excruciating pain imaginable.
