Good but over board. Good story, but at times feels like an infomercial.

Honesty in the Journey. Thanks to Rich for opening up and sharing the highs of his journey. An everyday guy finding happiness and balance in family, self, and spirit.

More advertising than biography. This book is mostly Mr Roll shilling products for other people. Expect to hear a lot about vitamix, garmin, specialized, ZIPP as well as products he himself sells. With the amount of advertising in the book I would expect it to be cheaper if not free.

Incredible!. Fantastic from front to back. A must buy for all plant-based athletes or anyone looking into living plant strong. Rich Roll knows nutrition/fitness. Buy this book. Buy his cookbook. It will change your life!

Roll Dog. A truly inspiring journey of a once broken spirit, able to conquer his demons and take charge of his life. A great read to ignite the healthy spark in your life.

Pages missing duplicated. Pages 426-429 are all duplicates and the corresponding pages are missing.

Incredible Story. Epic tale told by a great guy! A must read for any runner, seeker or person wanting to make a change!

This book was awesome!. Great story of personal perseverance but what I liked the most were the details on training and nutrition tips for endurance athletics, and just living a better life in general. I got several solid tips for training and nutrition that I’m excited to try. Thanks for sharing Rich!

Non-Ultra Athlete. Helped provide insight into the extreme time, mental demands, physical stress, and nutritional mgmt of an ultra athlete. Found the nutrition section to be a good reference but a bit long. Favorite quote is, "Do what you love; love those you care about; give service to others; and know that you are on the right path."

Love it. I only ready the free version for it. I wish I had 12 bucks to buy this....

Inspiring. I agree that there is alot of advertising in the book, but if you look past that the story is amazingly inspirational.

Cannot Recommend.. What should have been an amazing, inspirational story of personal transformation is so sadly cheapened by jarring commercial plugs for the author's line of health products that the book was ruined for me. How disappointing to see someone work so hard to turn his life around, only to devote it to carney-like shilling of expensive, new age, miracle tonics. Save your money, and buy a book from an author who isn't so desperate to profit off of his 15-minutes of fame that he drags you down with his credibility.

A must read!. Rich Roll is a truly inspiring man. Loved this book about his journey. He has inspired me to listen to my convictions and contemplate the vegan lifestyle. His story has motivated me to get up, lose my excess pounds, and truly push myself to achieve great things. Ultra marathons are likely not in my future, but Rich has inspired me to achieve my own goals. Thank you for being you, Rich; the very best You!

a book that will get you up off that couch. For those of us who may remember being in decent shape once upon a time, but who have lost our way as we stumbled into middle age, this is a highly accessible, practical story about how one man got up off of his couch, faced his internal demons, and turned his life around. And while I may never personally run an ultra-marathon, what this book does do is help spark genuine self-reflection, and it may even inspire you to do something about it. As a 44 year-old guy myself, who once saw himself as a quasi-athlete a long time ago, this book made me stop and think, to do an honest assessment of where my life is trending, and to really think about where I'd like it to go/end. And then it inspired me to get off of the couch. I bough the book 2 months ago, and yesterday I ran 10 miles for the first time in at least 5 or 6 years. And while I may not find "ultra", I have decided that I'm am not going to go out with a whimper. And I send my thanks to Rich for writing a book that is accessible, inspiring, and somewhat practical in terms of how to take action. Write another one, Rich. I'll be the first to buy it.

Great read!. Awesome book!

Powerful Just in Time message. I loved this story. I can relate to Rich on so many levels! As a fellow 1966 baby, I am blown away by how you was able to crush his middle agedom! Will I ever go to the lengths he did physically—no— but that’s not my jam. His story created a space in me to push my commitments fort zone! I’m so grateful for the opportunity to see this window of his life Highly recommend!!

Inspiration. Rich you gave me a lot of inspiration with your book!keep being this example for all of us! I hope to meet you some day, why not during an ultraman. Take care

A favorite. This book will be kept close to my chest as a man in my 40’s who felt discouraged and afraid. This book brought me hope and encouragement that I too can accomplish any feat at this point in my life. Thank you Rich!

Pages missing. Pretty good read, but many pages are missing. Please fix.

Great story...better if all the pages were there.. This is a great story that combines eating well, fitness, and family. However, some pages are missing and they seem to be key points in the book. I would appreciate apple fixing this discrepancy.

An open heart story, full of hidden gems. Rich succeeds on inspiring us into a transformational journey. So humble, it comes short of the real struggle, perhaps. Read with an open mind and a desire of finding more than just a runner.

Brilliant. I am very moved by Rich Roll's story and choices to become the best he can be for others. He advertises products to help and guide others for a better mind, body and spirit. I see his "advertisements" as a blessing because it saves me "time" that he probably spent researching and experimenting on the benefits of a plant based diet. This book is about the struggles and choices of one man to rediscover his true God given potential, learn to forgive the past and not let his past anchor his future, relearn the meaning of love and self love and finally, to bravely step to HOPE.

Inspiring. This is the most inspiring book I've ever been privileged to read. Anything is possible.

He definitely found Ultra!. Rich's story is awe-inspiring to say the least. Such a great read and I actually made a decision to go plant-based after further external research. The people that say "it's an advertisement or infomercial" are silly. Rich promotes the products he uses.... He's an ultra athlete and he has to have a lot of gear and what not. Vitamix? Yeah it's a great blender so he lets you know he uses it. Listen to the joe rogan podcast? Lots of advertising... Bet you still listen to that. Ignore the nay sayers, this book is excellent.

Inspiring Triumph of the Mind and Body. "Finding Ultra" is a great easy read that will make you want to stop from taking that third helping of fried chicken and gravy mashed potatoes and get out there and find your active spirit. This book is for anyone who has competed at any level of sports and may feel he/she has lost that fighting edge. There is still hope for us parents who have gotten a little round in the belly, but want to renourish that desire to be active, push our physical and mental selves, and find our own Ultra.

Inspiring!!!. If this doesn't make you get of the couch nothing will!

God, it’s boring and twaddle. From miraculously becoming immediately healthy by just eating plant based foods onto running a marathon with no training and only being four weeks from an overweight couch potato onto an utterly tedious never ending account of his descent to drink and drugs - this has to be the most uninspiring book written since a big bag of uninspiring things on an uninspiring day entered a competition to be uninspiring, and then wrote a book about it.

Inspiring. Love reading books like this, helps to see different angles around addiction and slipping into a deep hole that many dearly take action to fix. inspiring story to learn from.
