@finity@bookwyrm.social actual review...

Ritchie is an awesome swimmer, falls deep into alcoholism while he makes his way through the best schools in the country failing his way into Hollywood legal practices, goes broke while maintaining a lifestyle capable of supporting a wedding party with famous attendees and performers and custom building their own house near napa, and fortunately the universe shows him how to travel worldwide for racing eating 100 advocadoes a day and taking meetings on the side of the road during rides, meeting with the occasional guru. AND YOU CAN TOO!

He doesn't actually say that last part which I appreciate and find redeeming. Regardless of the silver spoons he's able to find along the way, it's pretty remarkable.

And certainly I've found much of his philosophy fits my experience also. Although I'm unlikely to ever do an ironman, let alone one on each Hawaiian island.
