About this listen
“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.

Golden!!
It’s amazing to hear Rich‘s story in his own words. The way that he noticed things along the way in his life and really put for such significant effort to make those changes and continuously notice is pretty astounding. This book is incredibly inspirational. And the last chapter alone I think it’s part of the Extended edition is absolute gold. Thank you, Rich.

A deep dive into the story that built an amazing life
Fantastic honest story telling unusually without prequel by reams of self congratulatory egotism. Short ‘self help’ section at end sufficient to bring home the message. Would definitely recommend to anyone seeking a way forward- not just athletes.

A vegan diet agenda wrapped in a life story.
I liked some of his story, but was bored at the shoehorning of the benefits of the vegan diet whenever it was possible. I was interested in finding out how he overcame his addictions and find out about his mindset that has driven him into to many great achievements at midlife. If you don’t agree with him on his diet beliefs then his dismissive of your own beliefs. I don’t think anyone can claim to know all the answers when it comes to diets, I’m sure many people thrive on a number of diets, including vegan but to say you’re wrong for not following his advice is just pure arrogance. Shame. I think there’s been plenty of scientific evidence that just because you eat plants it doesn’t mean you’re not destroying the planet. I prefer a balanced view considering all sides of the argument not just someone who clearly has a biased viewpoint, I didn’t purchase this book to be fed this drivel.
