Blake Cole’s Reviews > Finding Ultra: Rejecting Middle Age, Becoming One of the World's Fittest Men, and Discovering Myself > Status Update

Was troubled by the chapter about Rich’s dead-on-arrival marriage to a woman he loved; on the one hand, it strikes me as completely understandable for his partner to be worried about his alcoholism, and who can really blame someone for truly falling in love with someone else? (she could definitely be blamed for not taking accountability though).

Life seems so unavoidably painful sometimes.

Intrigued, and slightly surprised at the extent to which I find Rich’s perspectives relatable (minus the elite athletics and academics).

Given Rich’s myriad and impressive accomplishments, I think I was expecting this book to be a tiresome litany of humble brags, but it doesn’t seem to be panning out that way.

I’m along for the ride, curious to see how this one evolves.
