Finding Ultra (Revised and Updated Edition)

Rejecting Middle Age, Becoming One of the World's Fittest Men, and Discovering Myself

De: Rich Roll

Narrado por: Rich Roll

“Finding Ultra blends Rich Roll’s story of superhuman personal transformation with an amazingly practical guide to plant-based living. It’s also an enlightened manifesto for anyone wanting to transform their life.”—Dan Buettner, National Geographic Fellow and New York Times bestselling author of the Blue Zones books

“An incredible story of mental, emotional, and physical endurance.”—Michael Greger, MD, FACLM, New York Times bestselling author of How Not to Die

On the night before he was to turn forty, Rich Roll experienced a chilling glimpse of his future. Nearly fifty pounds overweight and unable to climb the stairs without stopping, he could see where his current sedentary life was taking him—and he woke up.

Plunging into a new routine that prioritized a plant-based lifestyle and daily training, Rich morphed—in a matter of mere months—from out of shape, mid-life couch potato to endurance machine. Finding Ultra recounts Rich’s remarkable journey to the starting line of the elite Ultraman competition, which pits the world’s fittest humans in a 320-mile ordeal of swimming, biking, and running. And following that test, Rich conquered an even greater one: the EPIC5—five Ironman-distance triathlons, each on a different Hawaiian island, all completed in less than a week.

One of Men’s Fitness Magazine’s “25 Fittest Men in the World,” Rich has become one of the most recognized advocates of plant-based living. In this newly revised and updated edition, he shares the practices, tools, and techniques he uses for optimal performance, longevity, and wellness, including diet and nutrition protocols. Rich reflects on the steps he took to shift his mindset and leverage deep reservoirs of untapped potential to achieve success beyond his wildest imagination, urging each of us to embark on our own journey of self-discovery.

Great storytelling!

You just made me wanna do it! Challenge myself and keep it up, show up, make it happen.

Great book!!

The is was a great book! Rich is so inspiring and motivating! A must read.

Fantastic, inspirational memoir.

Love it. Already incorporating some of the advice at the end into my life. Highly recommend.

Incredible story of overcoming addiction and achieving elite athleticism!

I love how the Rich tells his story and uses it not toot his own horn but to show how his success in overcoming alcoholism and improving his health can be translated to anyone. He also has a very healthy relationship with exercise and nutrition, though from a surface perspective it could be perceived as another unhealthy addiction. However, after delving deep into the book, you learn that his approaches to self-improvement can be quite healthy, holistic, practical and effective for anyone.

Absolutely excellent

Ready to start it over and listen again on the next drive down the I 5 freeway. Perfect listen.
