<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b><i>Finding Ultra</i> is an incredible but true account of achieving one of the most awe-inspiring midlife physical transformations ever</b> <p/>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. <p/>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.<i> Finding Ultra</i> 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. <p/>In the years since <i>Finding Ultra</i> was published, Rich has become one of the world's 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.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Finding Ultra blends Rich Roll's story of superhuman personal transformation with an </b>amazingly practical guide <b>to plant-based living. </b>It's also an enlightened manifesto for anyone wanting to transform their life.<b> - </b>Dan Buettner, National Geographic Fellow and <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of the Blue Zones books. <p/>Finding Ultra is Rich Roll's incredible story of mental, emotional, and physical endurance. <b>An essential, inspiring read.</b> - Michael Greger, MD, FACLM, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>How Not to Die</i>, founder of NutritionFacts.org<br><b><br>One of the best books about health and fitness I've ever read. - </b>Neal Barnard, MD, president of the Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine <p/><b>Rich Roll's <i>Finding Ultra </i>is a testament to the power of the human spirit to overcome any obstacle, break down walls, and redefine what's possible.</b> <br>- John Brenkus, Creator and Host of ESPN's "Sport Science" and <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author of <i>The Perfection Point</i> <p/><b>"<i>Finding Ultra </i>is the ultimate story of hope, perseverance and endurance against life's biggest challenges."</b><br>--William Cope Moyers, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Broken: My Story of Addiction and Redemption</i> <p/>"Roll has accomplished amazing things, but it is his ability to draw inspiring and uniquely insightful lessons from his experiences that sets him apart from other extreme athletes. <b><i>Finding Ultra </i>is a fascinating read full of practical tips."</b><br>--Dean Karnazes, nationally bestselling author of <i>Ultramarathon Man </i><br><i> </i><br><b>"<i>Finding Ultra </i>is about a journey we all take as human beings, when we decide to pursue the impossible and live a life of mission. </b>When I need to dig deeper, push harder, and find a little boost, Rich Roll is the guy who comes to mind.
