"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.
