The Art of Fully Living: 1 Man. 10 Years. 100 Life Goals Around the World. by Tal Gur

BOOK DESCRIPTION::
Master the art of fully living, one life goal at a time.

Do you want to experience your one life—your whole life—to its fullest measure?

In this stirring book, author, blogger and lifestyle entrepreneur, Tal Gur offers his own transformational journey as an inspiring example and practical guide to implementing the art of fully living to its fullest potential. You’ll learn how to actualize your potential by forging all aspects of your life through the process built into your life goals.

Once you discover “the art of fully living,” there is no going back; it will feel unacceptable to settle for less than your dreams—and what’s more, you’ll dream even more wildly, aspiring to action with greater clarity of purpose, broader horizons of possibility, and holistic vision across all areas of your life.

The very structure of this book models Tal’s immersive approach to goal-driven living: each chapter of The Art of Fully Living is dedicated to a year of focus—socializing, fitness, freedom, contribution, love, adventure, wealth, relationship, spirituality, and creativity—and follows Tal’s endeavors as he works toward fulfilling 100 life goals in only 10 years.

This daunting ambition, springing from one late-night conversation among friends and a gnawing discontentment within the typical “success” story, becomes extremely relatable through Tal’s bold storytelling; what’s more, the deep lessons learned become immediately applicable for your own purposes as Tal thoughtfully extracts the actionable wisdom from his own experiences to articulate the principles and techniques of “the art of fully living.”

The Art of Fully Living takes you along the exhilarating ride of Tal’s journey while illuminating your own possible life-goal trajectory: as Tal relates how he socialized nonstop in vibrant Melbourne to master English and trained intensively to complete Ironman New Zealand and practice ancient Thai martial arts, you’ll learn how to apply immersion to achieve your own life goals; as Tal describes how he eliminated his crushing student debt in one year and attained financial and location independence, you’ll learn how to simplify your life, recognize your own present wealth, and turn your passions into a living; and as Tal animates his experiences learning to surf and salsa, to drum in a troupe and compose electronic music, and to write this very book, you’ll learn how to let your intuition be your guide, reveal your authentic core, and achieve flow—among the myriad other adventures and take-aways that fill this book.

Tal not only introduces the idea that the art of fully living is another skill to master but also guides you through honing this skill with chapter lessons and actionable key takeaways.

This is especially for you if you find yourself frustrated often, feeling low, or if you’re struggling while asking yourself “What do I REALLY want?”

You will find your calling.
You will define your life goals.
You will discover how to leverage your strengths to achieve your dreams.
You will know what it means to be truly free.
You will be fulfilled by the path you have chosen to take from this point on.

Can you imagine what the world would be like if everyone discovered and did what made them feel fully alive?
Your dreams are your dreams for a reason; they are rooted in your deepest understanding of who you want and can become.

MY THOUGHTS:::

I have read many self-help books in my life. I am a fan of one's that offer insights into the author's life as well as a plan to improve my own. I believe that we all can become better when we learn from the experiences of others and not just when someone is telling us what to do different in our lives without providing concrete evidence. Well, Tal Gur offers loads of personal stories and experiences in his book The Art of Fully Living. 1 Man. 10 Years. 100 Life Goals. Tal Gur had what to many would seem like an idyllic life-- a great job, money, was at the top of his career. However, something felt off; something was missing. How many of us find ourselves thinking that something is missing from our lives? How many of us are brave enough to further explore and take steps to find out what is missing and why? Tal Gur took that risk. He got tired of being sick and tired with life and he moved to change it. This was a journey of finding new relationships, getting married, getting divorced, moving to many different countries, figuring out what was important. It was a journey of self discovery that can offer hope to others. Not only does Tal Gur give the readers his own experiences, he also offers ideas and ways that the readers can change their own life and fully engage in the life that they want to live rather than the mediocre, status quo that they may be living. He offers his way of "commitment, immersion, and discipline" in order to achieve the goals that one may decide to set for themselves. 

Overall, if you are looking for an inspirational read that will make you really want to focus on living your life to the fullest or if you are feeling like you need some inspiration to change your life, then I highly suggest that you read The Art of Fully Living. 1 Man. 10 Years. 100 Life Goals. by Tal Gur.
