‘Cold Joy’ by Libby Delania

Hardback, Chronicle Books, £14.99

January on the Isle of Man may not be the best time to plunge into the sea, or even an inland secluded plunge pool, but if you are pondering the idea – then this little gem is a good place to start.

In this exhilarating guide to well-being, creative adventurer and wellness podcast host Libby DeLana illuminates physical, mental and spiritual benefits of cold water.

She also explores how creating a daily cold-plunging practice taught her self-love, courage, resilience and the joy of being immersed in a community of adventurous women. It features simple-to-follow practices, personal storytelling and essential safety tips.
