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.

*Includes a downloadable PDF of appendices and recipes from the book Aging & Longevity Personal Development Running & Jogging Sports Triathlon Inspiring Physical Exercise Nutrition

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.

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 deep dive into the story that built an amazing life
