Publisher Description
At the age of twenty-two, Ben Davis weighed over 360 pounds. Depressed, addicted to food, and morbidly obese, he thought he’d lost all hope. But after a 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. 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. Here, Ben shares more of his personal story and illustrates how you can use his techniques to start living your own life to the fullest.
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.

Do life's
This was one of the most honest books I've read in a long time.
His openness and shame are so true, but his revelation that he can do something about it explodes in your mind and you realize
that that you can change your life with one thought.
Everything & More!
This book is beautiful! Much like Ben's fascinating and motivational story! I remember 2 years ago first discovering Ben and watching his video with tears steaming down my face. I followed his every word and post since then and he's set me on the wonderful path of healthy eating and believing you can have a better life!!!
For anyone who doesn't know of Ben the book is still a fantastic read! Hope it gives you a little confidence and a little hope to get out there and 'Do Life'
Disappointing
Trite. Contrived. Ben's blog is enjoyable enough, but this book proves that just because you're a blogger with a large readership doesn't mean you have the writing chops to carry a book. It's less Ben's fault, and more his editor's.
