Finding Ultra is Rich Roll's incredible but true account of achieving one of the most awe-inspiring midlife physical transformations ever. One evening in 2006, before turning 40, Rich experienced a chilling glimpse of his future. Nearly 50 pounds overweight at the time and unable to climb the stairs without stopping, he plunged into a new way of eating that made processed foods off-limits and prioritized plant nutrition and daily training. Rich morphed - in mere months - from out-of-shape midlifer to endurance machine. Revised and updated edition with a new and original foreword and a bonus chapter.

An essential defense of the people the world loves to revile - the loners - yet without whom it would be lost. The Buddha. Rene Descartes. Emily Dickinson. Greta Garbo. Bobby Fischer. J. D. Salinger: Loners, all - along with as many as 25 percent of the world's population. Loners keep to themselves, and like it that way. Yet in the press, in films, in folklore, and nearly everywhere one looks, loners are tagged as losers and psychopaths, perverts and pity cases, ogres and mad bombers, elitists and wicked witches.

In the dusty hills above San Diego, Bob Larsen became America's greatest running coach. Starting with a ragtag group of high school cross country and track runners, Larsen set out on a decades-long quest to find the secret of running impossibly fast, for longer distances than anyone thought possible. Running to the Edge is a riveting account of Larsen's journey, and his quest to discover the unorthodox training secrets that would lead American runners (elite and recreational) to breakthroughs never imagined.

To become the best bowhunter of wild elk, to the caliber he believed he could be, Cam realized he would need more than archery skills.

Ultra running defies conventional logic. Yet this most brutal and challenging sport is now one of the fastest growing in the world. But is it an antidote to modern life or a symptom of a modern illness? Adharanand Finn travelled to the heart of the sport to find out - and to see if could become an ultra runner himself. His journey took him from the deserts of Oman to the snow-capped peaks of the Rockies, and from a 24-hour track race in Tooting to his ultimate goal, the 105-mile Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc.

Description
Equal parts memoir and road map to living a less stressful and more vibrant life, best-selling author Jesse Itzler offers an illuminating, entertaining, and unexpected trip for anyone looking to feel calmer and more controlled in our crazy, hectic world.
Entrepreneur, endurance athlete, and father of four Jesse Itzler only knows one speed: Full Blast. But when he felt like the world around him was getting too hectic, he didn't take a vacation or get a massage. Instead, Jesse moved into a monastery for a self-imposed time-out. In Living with the Monks, the follow-up to his New York Times best-selling Living with a SEAL, Jesse takes us on a spiritual journey like no other. Having only been exposed to monasteries on TV, Jesse arrives at the New Skete religious community in the isolated mountains of upstate New York with a shaved head and a suitcase filled with bananas.
To his surprise, New Skete monks have most of their hair. They're Russian Orthodox, not Buddhist, and they're also world-renowned German shepherd breeders and authors of dog-training books that have sold in the millions. As Jesse struggles to fit in amongst the odd but lovable monks, self-doubt begins to beat like a tribal drum. Questioning his motivation to embark on this adventure and missing his family (and phone), Jesse struggles to balance his desire for inner peace with his need to check Twitter.
But in the end, Jesse discovers the undeniable power of the monks and their wisdom, and the very real benefits of taking a well-deserved break as a means of self-preservation in our fast-paced world.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"Jesse is a risk taker and is always trying different things to get better. Plus, he's fun to go out with." (Tom Brady, New England Patriots, four-time NFL Champion, two-time NFL MVP)
"Living with a Seal is funny and compelling with practical wisdom that leaves the reader feeling elevated and empowered. It also deeply impacted my own personal journey to health, fitness and well being." (Cory Booker, US Senator for New Jersey)
"This is 100% Jesse. Do it differently and you get different results. That's the way he has operated his entire life and it has worked beautifully." (Mike "Coach K" Krzyzewski, Duke Basketball head coach)

Another Great Book by Jesse Itzler
While I didn't find the story as captivating as, "Living with a Seal" I still found this book a very entertaining and insightful read. I really like how Jesse narrates his own books, as I feel like you wouldn't get the same effect without him. I really enjoy Jesse's books and look forward to the next one. #Audible1

Bit repetitive
The book was ok but somewhat repetitive. I wish the living with the monks portion was a bit more interesting and overall the book felt like it lacked enough content which was evident in the repetition and random side stories. The seal book was significantly better.

Should have focused on the monks
The monks and nuns stories were great, but were rather sparse. Author clearly didn't really want to listen to their stories or explore their wisdom in any way. Think of a bunch of self plugs built into a person's story about a two week vacation at a monastery along with common motivational tropes. Did enjoy his non-religious descriptions of their religious life. Great story teller, but don't recommend.

Fascinating Read You Didn't Realize You Needed
After reading "Living With A Seal" I was fascinated by how Jesse's experience with monks went, and what revelations he had during his stay. I listened to some podcasts where he spoke about this book in particular, and decided I had to give it a listen.
Jesse delivers this book with great energy, vocal changes depending on different characters, and you can feel the emotion in his voice.
If you're looking for a great perspective on what happens when busy meets silence, this is a great depiction.
What will Jesse Itzler think of next? Living with an astronaut? Living with a deep sea scuba diver? Or will he completely switch it up and live with a rocket scientist, or maybe an ambassador? Who knows, but I'll definitely be reading that one as well!

Another amazing book!
First, let me just say that I feel like I'm on an adventure with Jesse and it's one the reasons that I'll read and listen to anything he wants to tell his audience. It's all so authentic, powerful and informative.
Second, I love the message in this particular book that focuses on the fear of the unknown, creating a life experience, trying something new, and doing it by shutting off social media, electronics, and all the disruptions of the outside world. It's a book everybody should read, especially young people.
The performance in this audio book is also fantastic. I kept thinking, Jesse should just do animated movies in the way he brings Seal to life and the brothers at the monastery.
Will be re-listening to this a few more times and sharing with friends!

Utterly disappointing
This book could only have been made in the jet stream of the success of “living with a seal”. However this version was more of a glimpse into what an excessively privileged life looks like. I cannot believe this book was even published. They should have done more research on the monastery, and at least stuck it out for a solid 30 days. Who cares about a 2 week trip, where you leave and return. I sincerely hope Jesse write another book to make up for this one. “Living with a seal” is such a gem, and I had such high hopes for this book.

OK ish
The beginning of the book shares a lot of the stories from Living With a Seal. A third of the book is about the process of writing the book. Then a third of the book is about Living With Monks. Not a bad book but nothing great. Feels a little forced.

not my cup of tea.
Parts of the book were somewhat interesting. The author went into way more detail the necessary throughout much of the book. It felt like he was struggling to make diary entries into a book.

Must-read for Jesse fans
I think anyone can appreciate the unfiltered, authentic, and fun storytelling of Jesse Itzler. “Monks” makes the pursuit of a more mindful path accessible to the typical busy person who is consumed by work, family and technology. This is not in the same genre of Thich Nhat Hanh or even Gabby B, but it’s an engaging read (er, listen!) with an amusing cast of characters, and my fave parts were his take-aways at the end of the book, and how applicable his learnings are to my own daily life.

Finding balance in a busy world
Ever wanted to take a step away from your life and slow down to see how hectic it’s become? Well now you can through the eyes of the author who did just that. Jesse takes us on a spiritual retreat to show how slowing down and mono tasking can help bring more balance and fulfillment into your life. The book is well paced and filled with funny stories that keep the adventure moving.

I didn't want it to end!
I've listened to both audiobooks by Jesse Itzler and the fact that he narrates them adds a huge plus in my book. This book was just as entertaining and insightful as "Living with a Seal". I can't recommend it enough!

Living with the Monks
Too many of the same stories from living with a Seal. I did not enjoy this one. Disappointed after reading first book.

Not bad, not outstanding either
It could've been a 5/5, but the story was like dipping in the sea: sometimes on a high wave, sometimes on a low tide - there were parts it was interesting and funny and parts it was just plain boring. I started this because the free sample from Audible was witty and funny and I expected more of that when purchasing it, so in the end I was a tad disappointed.
I didn't particularly enjoy some of the author's views as they sometimes seemed very ignorant (no idea what Christian monks are like or about any type of monks in general, proclaiming to be an atheist but having no idea about the basics of religion, preconcieved opinions, jumping in head first without researching first, etc), but I appreciated the honesty on putting all of that onto paper and not trying to cover it up.
I loved the idea about the thinking place and fighting your own beasts, bravery and personal development, but the book in itself was more like a sketch than an actual book. Maybe it needed more action, or more time with the monks.
Overall, 3.5/5.
