How to Look Inward and Reinvent Yourself

Named one of the “25 Fittest Men in the World” by Men’s Fitness and the “Guru of Reinvention” by Outside magazine, Rich shares his inspirational story of addiction, redemption, and athletic prowess in his bestselling memoir, Finding Ultra, and in the cookbooks/lifestyle guides The Plantpower Way and The Plantpower Way: Italia, which he co-authored with his wife Julie Piatt.

Rich is a graduate of Stanford University (where he was a member of their dynastic, multiple-NCAA-championship men’s swimming program) and Cornell Law School. He has been featured on CNN and on the cover of Outside and has been profiled in The New York Times, Forbes, ESPN, and many other prominent media outlets.

This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens. I get asked all the time, “If you could only use one supplement, what would it be?” My answer is usually AG1 by Athletic Greens, my all-in-one nutritional insurance. I recommended it in The 4-Hour Body in 2010 and did not get paid to do so. I do my best with nutrient-dense meals, of course, but AG further covers my bases with vitamins, minerals, and whole-food-sourced micronutrients that support gut health and the immune system.

Clean since 15th Aug 2020. Recovery is an eye-opening experience. Meditation is the real deal. No kidding!

WTF? It's just talk about how he hit rock bottom, not about "How to Look Inward and Reinvent Yourself"

[casey]

Great stuff Tim. Thank you so much. I just found out about you from Joe Rogan and Jocko's podcast.

I’m not an alcoholic or addicted to anything, but this gives me hope.
I feel like my life is over.
Can I reinvent myself and find a purpose…..?
🤔

Are you Rich Rolling us? I'm not sure if that's funny or not. :)

[caught.in.throes]

So... stare into the face of death, twice... that's how we become better. Not a good title. Nothing here about how he really turned things around.

[fouzyouargli]

Rich looks like he's reading a script lol
