About the Book

At the age of 22, Ben Davis weighed over 360 pounds. Depressed, addicted to food, and morbidly obese, he thought he d lost all hope. But after a Christmas Eve conversation with his grandmother, Ben promised himself that he would finally take control of his life. Ben decided to do life, and so can you. He started running slowly at first, but as the pounds came off and his outlook on life started to change, he went faster and further. At first, he couldn t run a mile, but before long he was running five, ten, and then twenty miles at a time. His father and brother joined him, and as a team they ran a marathon and went on to complete one of the hardest physical competitions in the world, the Ironman. Throughout his journey, Ben captured his transformation in a series of YouTube videos, inspiring countless others around the world to do life along with him. In Do Life, Ben shares more of his personal story--from his lifelong struggles with food and obesity to each goal that he set for himself along his journey, including the pitfalls, setbacks, and hard won victories. But in "Do Life," Ben does more than tell his story. He illustrates how you can use his techniques to start living your own life to the fullest, whether that means making a complete transformation, losing weight, or simply running further. Running taught Ben how to do life and here he teaches you what he s learned along the way how to set aside crippling fear and self-doubt, finally find your smile, and ultimately share it with those around you. By sharing his discovery of what was holding him back and how he was able to push forward, Ben will teach you how to break free from any obstacle and live the life you ve always wanted. "Do Life "isn t just about diet or exercise, depression, or addiction it s about stepping out of your ordinary life and becoming who you want to be. It s the story of one man who decided to live life his way. And it could be your story, too."

Review :
"He needed to be inspired to change his life, and yet now he will be a huge inspiration in mine. Ordinary people doing miraculous things--this is what Ben is about. It would be easier to give in, but Ben fought back. And Ben won. If I am ever fortunate enough to run the Boston Marathon again, I will be thinking of Ben Davis as I line up to start. I will think of his journey and it will give me strength to run through mine." --Kara Goucher, Olympic Marathoner "Ben's story and wisdom captured me from the start. An everyman kind of guy, Ben winningly convinces his loyal fans that they can get healthy, happy, and live the lives of their dreams." --Caitlin Boyle, author and founder of Operation Beautiful "Ben's story is remarkable and inspiring. He personifies so much of what "Runner's World" stands for." --David Willey, editor in chief, "Runner's World" He needed to be inspired to change his life, and yet now he will be a huge inspiration in mine.
