Finding Ultra
by Rich Roll
Roll was an overweight, alcoholic lawyer at thirty-nine; by forty-two he was finishing the Ultraman and running five Ironmans in a week. The book covers recovery, a plant-based diet and extreme endurance, and the recovery chapters are the honest centre of it.
Read it if…
you are starting from a bad place and want a transformation story that does not skip the bad part.
Skip it if…

Three things you will actually use
- Rock bottom is a place to build from.
- Consistency beats intensity, especially late.
- Change the inputs and the body follows.
Do this first
Read the recovery chapters before the athletic ones.
