1 Man. 10 Years. 100 Life Goals Around the World - The Art of Fully Living

Tal Gur in two words: intimidatingly cool.

The Art of Fully Living is a blend of memoir and self-improvement manual. Tal gave himself 100 goals and ten years to complete them, and his book not only chronicles his successes, but also shares the techniques he used to overcome the failures. Each chapter focuses on a single year – the Year of Socializing, the Year of Freedom, and so on – and follows his journey from Israel to Australia to New Zealand to South America and just about everywhere in between.

Tal’s a good storyteller (especially considering English is not his first language) and The Art of Fully Living is a super enjoyable read. That said, I think the book itself had a couple too many goals. If you read it with an eye to self-improvement, you’ll find plenty of good advice – immerse yourself in your goal, meditate, give more than you take – but nothing extraordinarily groundbreaking. The self-help scene runs rife with these same pointers, and The Art of Fully Living didn’t add a unique angle or spin.

On the other hand, you could read it as a memoir, but it falls a little flat on that count as well. Tal doesn’t go into a ton of detail about his many and varied exploits (presumably to save word count for the self-improvement stuff) and I found myself wanting more. The full list of 100 goals – the main draw of the book, in my opinion – isn’t even included.

Again – I really enjoyed reading this book and I definitely felt inspired and energized after turning the final page. I just think it’s trying to be too many things at once. Your mileage may vary.

Who is Tal Gur?

About halfway through this book, I was truly struck by that question. Up to that point, I was caught up in his world travels as he globe-trotted, looking for the next soul-fulfilling adventure. And there were a lot of them.

At some point, I questioned how he was financing this journey of self-discovery.

Passive internet income.

Huh?

I’ve read about internet entrepreneurs of course, but at one point, in a very short time, Gur was able to build his business into 6-figures, a good portion of it being passive income.

After the 10 years, he wrote ‘The Art of Living Fully (1 Man. 10 Years. 100 Life Goals Around the World.)’, and turned that journey into a very successful coaching program with him as the guru of sorts.

And why not?

He wanted to conquer the Ironman. Normal mortals take a year to train. Tal? A mere 5 months. He wanted to learn English, get a high-powered job, and make lots of friends. He ‘immersed’ himself in Australian culture and made sure he became the life of the party.

But the high life had a cost and when it came time to pay up, he did. He cleared up a massive debt in a year, set up his passive internet income, and headed out into the great wild world.

Some of his goals were small, while others were outlandish. I mean, not everyone climbs Everest. They just don’t.

In some ways, I couldn’t relate to this book at all. Maybe I am stuck in the 9 to 5 corporate crush, but I need things like insurance and healthcare. I will need a pension. But, if you have a source of funds and can declutter yourself down to 2 bags, then this book is for you.

That being said, Gur did learn some valuable lessons and even if you can’t go to Medina just to take salsa lessons, there are things that might apply to your life.

He talks about less being more, and he is on to something. Consumer debt (besides mortgages) is at an all-time high. What are we spending our money on? Stuff. Not only is it cluttering our homes, but storage lockers are a booming business. But if you aren’t acquiring true heirlooms to pass along to the next generation, what are you really accumulating? Stuff that will end up in the landfill. Leaving you feeling empty and slowly destroying Mother Earth.

Gur also talks about finding your calling. After a devastating mudslide in Peru, he volunteered to help clean up debris of destroyed homes. That led him to a family who needed help rebuilding. He used his abilities to gather the resources and leveraged his charisma to help recruit volunteers. They rebuilt a house for a family. A true selfless act.

He talks about prioritizing happiness. He met someone he fell in love with and married. At first, while she supported him on his adventures, life was good. But when she wanted to settle close to her family and have the kids he had agreed to, he became depressed and, frankly, belligerent. Unwilling to compromise, he kept putting himself first. He has the right to do that, of course, but being grown up means making compromises.

Gur speaks about Givers, Seekers, and Matchers. We all know Seekers. Those who take what they can get and don’t care about anyone else. There are the Matchers – those who are Seekers or Givers, depending on the situation. Then there are Givers. And we all know them. They are often taken advantage of because of their selflessness. Yet they tend to have the most fulfilling lives.

He asks the reader to answer, “What makes you happy?” Why do we look for happiness in the wrong places? Why do we delay happiness? Will more money and power bring us happiness? Gur suggests prioritizing happiness – saying it is more important than goals or intentions.

But if you have an aging parent counting on you, or an demanding boss who controls your security and paycheque, or a professor who can determine your future, this ideal can feel fanciful. He does talk about taking a few minutes by yourself every day and I do agree with that. One hour of yoga or guided meditation may not be practical, but even 5 minutes can centre you or lower your blood pressure. This can help bring a sense of calm.

Gur has, over the years, sought out his ‘people’, his ‘tribe’. On the way, he’s become a committed growth agent. This sounds fanciful, but there are people who could benefit, at least from this book. In some ways, this book is a slick marketing tool, designed to drive you to his website and services. He says other people told him that he had to tell his story, and that was probably true, but the book is not entirely altruistic.

One more thing. Matt Weight was a very good narrator. I often forgot Gur wasn’t narrating himself. Gur’s voice was strong and pervasive, but Weight’s delivery is exceptional. There was a moment, though, when I thought he might be too good. He sounded arrogant and I wondered if it was appropriate. So I listened very carefully to the words. Weight had it perfect. It was arrogance (or hubris, or self-confidence…).

So if you enjoy hearing about a healthy, fit, attractive specimen of maleness surfing, climbing mountains, crossing the Outback, doing yoga, building houses, and running a Burning Man Camp in Israel titled “Abundance”, this is definitely the book for you.

If you are searching for an answer to the question ‘why are you here’ and are looking for helpful guidance on the path to self-actualization, this is the book for you as well.

Maybe Maslow was on to something.

Your dreams are your dreams for a reason; they are rooted in your deepest understanding of who you want and can become.

The Art of Fully Living is a book written to inspire its readers to get up and chase the dreams that have been in their minds and hearts for so long.

Tal Gur begins every chapter telling about his own life and how he accomplished his goals, and sometimes, even how he fell short of his goals. The tasks that he accomplished throughout his life are absolutely incredible and certainly worth reading, but it never feels like he's bragging or patting himself on the back. His stories always give an encouraging message of "if I could do this, then YOU can absolutely accomplish whatever is on your list"!

Tal does speak openly about his partying lifestyle, however there are no mentions of sexually explicit moments. There is however, mentions of hangovers and some mild curse words mentions.

Overall, I enjoyed reading The Art of Fully Living and took away a few things that will be applied to my own life. If you're stuck in a rut, not knowing how to pursue your dreams and goals, I recommend this book just as a jump start to get you moving again. You'll definitely be able to come away with at least one thing to apply to your goals.

I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

I received this book from the author for the purpose of this review. All comments and opinions are entirely my own.

This is a Literature Approved (.com) Review.

The ultimate bucket list, one man, on the quest to figure out how to achieve life satisfaction by completing his goals.
Everything from becoming fluent in a language, facing fear of rejection to embracing uncertainty and much more.
Laced with real life scenarios and knowledge earned this book is an adventure worth reading.

Practical advice and wisdom is given creating a type of personal development/ memoir feel to this book. Written in a journal/conversational tone it will appeal to the masses.

Three nuggets of wisdom:

1. Embrace discomfort- it can be any challenge you want to take on but it must be done consistently to reap the benefits and keep up your momentum. (One suggestion is too pick something that could become part of your daily routine ( get up at sunrise, take cold showers) for 30 days (30 day challenges)

2. The only true measurement of commitment is action- what kind of action are you willing to commit to, to fulfill your dreams. Attach your commitments to real consequences. Writing your goals will only get you to the starting line. Taking action with real consequences will send to the finish line.

3. Hold true to your boundaries by practicing the art of saying “NO”

Great over all read, a needed push to begin your own journey and get off the side lines of your life.

The Art of Living Fully is an insightful and thought-provoking memoir.

Tal Gur had all the perks of being a successful businessman when he decided that the corporate life was not for him. He wasn’t happy. So he decided to give it all up. Tal Gur made a list of goals that he wanted to achieve in his life and started fulfilling them, one by one. This book is his story.

I like how the author outlines exactly how he went about reaching his goals while traveling around the world. Tal Gur doesn’t only include his successes but also his discouraging moments. Many of the inspirational points that he makes in this memoir are exceptional and good reminders about believing in oneself.

While reading this book, I couldn’t help but think about the goals that I’ve met, and the ones that I still have on my list. Tal Gur encourages the reader to plot out their goals and follow their dreams. In a nutshell, this book is a wealth of knowledge in an easy to follow format about living life to the fullest, being true to yourself and finding happiness.

Thank you, Tal Gur, for my complimentary copy, of your inspirational memoir, The Art of Fully Living.

The Art of Fully Living is about breaking free from the daily grind of just working and existing. I love the question, "How would you live if you only had 10 years left?" This question really made me take a closer look at my own life and ask if I was fully living it? I enjoyed reading about Tal's adventures as he went after each of his goals, with some challenges and many rewarding new experiences. From learning a new language to completing an Iron Man, he was inspiring! Do you have a set of written life goals? I didn't... but I do now and I have them broken down by decades. Although my goals seem small compared to the author's achievements, they feel big to me! We decided to sell our home to downsize, even though we still have 3 kids at home. This is going to be the year of "More Experiences & Less Stuff". Thank you Tal Gur for inspiring me (and many others) to stop playing small and safe, as that is not the life we are meant to live. Life is short with each day being a gift. Don't wait until you have been given a limited number of days to live... start living fully today!

An Uplifting and An Amazingly Well Written and Thought Out!

I was happy to receive a copy of this e-book from the author for an honest review. And WOW I am pleased I did!

Many ask themselves? How does one go from living a "Successful Work Life" but being miserable and non-satisfying? It isn't always about the Chase of Money or Success! In Tal's book, he guides readers through an amazing journey of just how to live life to the fullest through adventure, action, travel, and inspiring others to do the same. I love reading books that make me "feel uplifted and like I am along in the travels" as I suffer from agoraphobia and a few other mental health challenges and Tal's book did this and much more!

When I got the invite to read and review his book, it took me awhile to read and absorb all the fantastic advice and goal setting that I have been able to incorporate in my day to day living. And it has helped me so much. It can be used as a guide or workbook as well. Tal had the audacity to plan and take action to reclaim a better way of living in happiness, gratitude, and sense of life accomplishments! This book will change your outlook on life and explore adventure and travel that has more meaning and purpose than "Just a Bucket List!" So much good info in here it may take you a little time to read but you will ENJOY THIS ONE!!

I Highly suggest this one especially if you feel "Stuck or Unhappy" in your personal life and success...This book will open the doors to "Freedom."

From start to finish, this book never disappoints as the author sets his sights on conquering fears that the mind would normally stop you from achieving. Each decision process is revealed before he attempts the next milestone, which I appreciate since jumping into new situations takes tenacity and balance not often exposed to readers.

The author shares determination, humility, and bravery through each professional or personal goal he masters or misses. This story will keep you on a high wire until the final outcome. You'll also gain insight into your own abilities and hopefully take steps to grab your own brass ring.

I received an ebook from the author for an honest review.

I found this book refreshing and honest as I immersed myself in this motivational book. I found his approach and writing style equally casual as he teaches fundamental truths in a very relaxing manner using his own life as a testimony to his skills and determination. Throughout the book, I was struck by the openness he had tackled each item on his self-improvement list to become better as a person. From moving to Australia, speaking fluently in English and fitting into the life onwards his tale energized me. An easy read that flows without interruptions or mistakes. It is an empowering book with many titbits you can apply in your own life.
Even in sports he applied the same lessons and had the same results. I got the idea that no matter what the author would take up he would always be a winner.
It was thought-provoking and challenges my own shortcomings. I'm definitely going to use some of the techniques to better myself in my own quests of self-improvement.
Thanks for the wonderful read.

What a fun book! An excellent first-person account of an awakening and grand journey, with how-to nuggets showing all of us how to do the same.

Tal’s kickboxing in Thailand resonated more than his other adventures because I recently did the same for my midlife crisis. Well, I was in slightly less exotic location… East Tennessee… But the way Tal captured the intrigue of fighting, the stress, the excitement – the in-the-moment focus that few other activities can generate – it was fun re-living it through another’s eyes. Plus his approach was more exploratory and peaceful than my own. Tal seemed in it almost solely for the fun, whereas in my case, it was more redemptive and aggressive. So the different motivator and lens was fun to experience.

I also really enjoyed Tal’s surfing and Iron Man sections because while my overall cardio is good, I’ve never been a strong swimmer, and the thought of braving ocean waves pre-dawn, and swimming while exhausted, is both scary, and exciting. Deliver a speech? No problem. Get in the ring with a guy aiming to take your head off? Let’s go. But swimming that far? Alone? Sometimes in the dark? Even when he had his girlfriend watching from shore, very scary stuff, and awesome that he had the guts to do it.

Last, while Tal’s adventures were extraordinary, they were all believable. The only thing I had trouble believing is that he isn’t a native English speaker. Dude is more articulate than I am… and a more eloquent writer. Congrats on mastering the language, Tal, and thanks so much for sharing your inspiring story, and your excellent advice. Did I neglect his excellent advice? Optimal living nuggets at the end of each chapter, always tied back to his experiences. Very cool book.

The art of fully living, what made me really read this book was this phrase on the cover " 1 man, 10 years, 100 life goals". The instant thought after reading that cover phrase was "What journey did this man go through to reach 100 life goals? " And after reading this book I must say I am rejuvenated and astonished. It was a great inspiring read.

The story starts with Tal living an ideal corporate life, high paying job with conventional success. Soon Tal realized that he was unhappy with how he was living his life and he became true to himself. He decided that he would live his dreams, put up with his goals. Thus created a beautiful, meaningful and inspirational journey.

What I really liked about this book was that it isn't based on fundamental scientific facts but a man's own experience. The lesson and key points that I really liked and found life-changing thoughts are as follow :
- Redefinition of "Failure"
- Moving beyond discomfort and embracing it
- The quote "every crisis is also an opportunity, row potential for a powerful growth experience "
- Chasing happiness and not the materialistic things
- Embracing uncertainty
- Concept of living simple life
- The power of surrendering to life
- Embracing intuition and uncovering authentic core

Every chapter has something new to learn. It was an implacable and inspirational read. I would like to congratulate Tal Gur for achieving the life of his dreams and the great journey.

I have to confess that when I started reading the book, I thought the author was a bit arrogant.

Talking about his successes and lavish lifestyle came off as a bit flippant.

I began to warm to the book when he talked about training for an Iron Man in 6 months, even though everyone was telling him he needed 12 months. I am a big believer in exceeding people’s expectations myself.

As the authors started to talk about his failings and his financial issues it allowed me to find more affinity with him.

He set long-term plans and had milestones within his plan to achieve the life he wanted to live.

My main takeaways from the book are that a laser focus and knowledge of your why can give you the motivation to get from wherever you are now to living a better life.

What a story this book contains. So immersing and so inspiring. The author shows his own true story of an entire journey of 10 years and how he has made his life purposeful. Looking life 10 years at one go is really a wonderful perspective to live with. If you think you have 40 years to live, you get lethargic, but 10 years to live – means you have to move focused towards your goals. While every other book teaches the goals, this book uniquely puts the urgency factor to accomplish your goals. Treating your goals as bucket list is the way to live a totally liberating life. Author has demonstrated great dose of vulnerability in telling his personal life story, which is amazing. An amazing and recommended read.

"The Art of Living Fully" gives a short overview on the struggles the author had to overcome. It gives a good impression on the things one has to do in order to become successful in different areas of one's life. This also gives the motivation to move further especially if you don't have any motivation at all.

I liked how the author brought up learning methods of different people, e.g. Benny Lewis, who I've been following for a few years now.

I would have appreciated more strategies in the book on how to use the immersion principle. I don't like to move to the web when reading.

This books might be "common sense" for people who already have been successful in live, but it might be just enough motivation for those who haven't been.

In this book, Tal describes how he stepped out of his comfort zone repeatedly to pursue his goals. Many of the things he was trying to accomplish were things that hit home with me: from trying to fit in and become more outgoing, to making a better living.

As cliche as it may seem, he makes a point, by his experience, that the only real failure is in not doing something to reach for your goals in life. Even when things don't turn out the way we hoped or pictured them, every risk we take and effort we put forth gives us invaluable experience and wisdom.

Great book! I hope to do more towards my goals by following Tal's advice.

The Art of Fully Living
Love it. Thank you Tal. Very motiviting, helpful and inspiring. I wanted to read more about your journey, got excited when you found true and married but was disappointed when it didn't worked out. Yes, I would recommend it to friends and family

I loved everything about this book. It really motivated me to change my life and gave me new ideas for future travel experiences. I especially liked Tal’s writing style and how he shared his challenges and journey with his goals.

Rich and descriptive writing in this modern coming of age story describing the journey from classic success to personal fulfillment. The author includes some great links and advice for support in our own personal journey. Worth a read.

One man's journey to discover what is most important in life, and as the title suggests, to live life to its fullest. Covering the course of ten years, this story documents the peaks, valleys, and lessons learned while navigating the ever shifting circumstances and priorities in life. Anyone with a growth mindset looking for self-improvement or inspiration will find this a great read!

A very inspiring, motivating and realistic book. Tal provides a down to earth description, including the highs and lows of his journey, over the past 10 years. He provides the reader with easy to follow 'recipes' to consider for self reflection, motivation, clarifying goals and challenging your belief systems. I look forward to his next journey on paper! Highly recommended.

This book is filled with great ideas and examples of living fully. Tal breaks down its complexities into relatable, doable pieces. Although we all may not have the means to be world travelers, we can still bring the essence of the book into our daily lives.

Inspiring. Life-affirming. Chock full of strategies and ideas. If ever you've needed someone to pull you off your couch and push you into the world of living, Tal's your guy. He'll have you grabbing for a pen and paper to create your own list of life goals faster than you can say, 'I don't feel like it today. Maybe tomorrow. Or, maybe after one more episode of House of Cards.' And, more importantly, he outlines some simple and effective tools and strategies to help you overcome the fear, that paralyzes so many of us into inaction. So you can get out there and start LIVING the life you've always dreamed about....

Fantastic.
Let this man jorney inspire you to follow your dreams and take the most out of your life.
Its a book that reminds you of what really is important in life, and shows you that you can choose, you are the owner of your live, you just have to take a step foward, and this book is a good way to start

What person in their life has not questioned themselves why they were doing with they were doing? I know I have and I am only 27. Tal is so inspirational. I don’t want to give too much away for those who have yet to read, but overcoming barriers to be successful and then to go out and live goals?! WOW! Absolutely WOW! Then to learn another language as complicated as English?! We have so much slang in our dialect. Tal is an incredible man.
Very good read, so enlightening.

Great inspiring read! It was fascinating to follow Tal on his journey around the world. He shares how he mastered English, become socially confident, completed an Ironman, volunteered abroad, met the woman of his dreams, become financially independent in 1 year and more. It is clear that in 10 years, Tal has accomplished more, experienced more and lived more fully than most others will do their entire lives.

I would have liked to see more details on his 100 life goals and the businesses he started, but it was still a great read. I look forward to following Tal's adventure moving forward.

This book has been exactly what I have been looking for in my life. Traveling for the last 4 years after leaving what I did not want my lifes path to be in Canada, I have been in search of different adventures and ventures in the hope of finding myself and my lifes purpose. With many lessons along the way I felt that I would learn a little more about myself however not really having much direction.
The Art of Fully Living has brought that to light for me in the way Tal has written this book. For me it has always been a challenge to focus on accomplishing what I said I really wanted. Now I feel I have the hand book to do just that.
Thank you Tal for sharing.
