Re. #10: Have you never had Bulletproof Coffee?
http://www.bulletproofexec.com/how-to-make-your-coffee-bulletproof-and-your-morning-too/
But, yes, I do agree with the sentiment that most of us should suck it up and get rid of the creamers and sweeteners. But I’m sure many of those people would flinch that the prospect of starting their day with a few hundred calories of butter and coconut fat.
Mind Blowing :)
Julien
If I could live my life according to 10% of these it would make a massive difference. One of my problems is to take too much on and achieve F*** all. I need to focus on less. A great list to kick me in the solar plexus and remind me what is important in life.
Julian
Amen, Julien! I am the same way… My mind likes to work on as many things at once as it can- but i can only multitask so much! I am focusing on less. By starting to practice a morning meditation getting what I need done before all else (computer, distractions). I’ve found I eat more intentionally. <3
keep trying Julian!
101 Reread this article at least once a month :)
You’re absolutely right! This is gold! Will do!
Love this! (And, I agree with Gavrev Eugen!)
Man it’s hard giving up the internet on the phone. Any tips? My contract is up and I’m planning on either going to a cheaper service with internet or totally prepaid without. I just can’t get the motivation to get rid of it.
Sad thinking that just a couple of years ago, I didn’t even know what it was.
Hi Lee!
The easiest way to do it is get an old phone (pre-y2k) they don’t do internet well (if at all). All they do is all you need in a cell/mobile; make & take calls & texts, no more/no less! BOOM! problem = solved! ;) you’re welcome!
Cool!
Lee, just a suggestion if you would be interested in cutting the mobile net usage:
consider a gophone with at&t. your service packages are optional every month and the SIMs are compatible with any at&t phone (including smart phones). for example, i use an iphone with a gophone SIM, however, i only gain internet access when i am within a wifi range.
some would say this is a useless way to go about having an iphone? but it’s those who are hopelessly and inseparably attached to the net who see it as useless… is this not the epitome of the path we are trying to avoid in the first place? i’m satisfied as a part-time internet user.
101. Question everything
Correct.
Number 6. Remain skeptical forever. is about the same, eh?
Correct.
Why?
Looking forward to knowing about you & what you are up too.
Ha! I wrote a list of 100 as well and was gonna publish it on my blog today but then decided to publish it tomorrow. You beat me. My 100 are better anyway ;) But yours are pretty good too :P
I will print this out and hang it at my desk! It’s awesome! Thanks
Love your list! Number 96 is my favorite! I write about hearing loss in children so it’s nice to see someone mention it!
I like the one about the tattoo. Learning to live with regret? That speaks to me.
Julien, remember meeting on the plane heading back from SXSW last year? I do, makes me smile to remember the moment.
Know what else makes me smile? This post. You rock my world just when it needs a jolt. Thank you.
P.S. #41 is my personal mantra: Show up. Hope we show up in the same place again soon.
lol to tip #100 … went and did that the other day on my way back from London. Definitely.
I recently published 40 things I thought women should know and have by the time they are 40. This reminds me of my list and even has some similar entries.
This is inspiring. Thanks for publishing it.
No matter how much I try to repeat people names… I forget them. But I can eat more protein.
I practice remembering names on the servers at restaurants. I get the reward of being able to flag them down easily and also the awe of my companions!
Tip to help you remember peoples’ names: when you hear the name for the first time, think of a celebrity with the same first name. Then imagine the person you’re meeting having their picture taken with the celebrity. More than one celebrity with that same name works even better. :0)
Love it
Wonderful post, certainly puts things into perspective!
Thanks so much for creating it.
I love your Blog, it brings a smile to my face.
What a pile of hokey crap. Get a tattoo? Are you seriously handing that out as advice to live by? Get over yourself man. There are about 10 decent things on this list. Clearly you have a 101st rule, “don’t edit yourself”.
I would think that rule 101 could easily apply to you, as well, Waz…and the part about getting over yourself.
I disagree about Tattoo advice. It’s stupid.
I consider the aphorisms boring.
But I read the post till the end. Quite interesting.
Anyone that says I need to get a tattoo does not have my best interests in mind. What are you thinking?
I don’t think these are guidelines, they are just suggestions. For me the tattoo one was on the spot. I got one in summer in quite a visible place because it meant a lot to me but I would have pangs of regret now and then fearing that it would interfere with my future job etc. In the end though I realized there is nothing to regret and I really love my tattoo and the values it embodies, and it’s generally nice to have this experience, plus it acts as a stimulus to look for a creative job (which I truly want to have). So when I read the article it hit home.
A friendly tip: a job that freaks out about a tattoo (especially a tasteful, non-offensive one) is NOT the sort of job you want. Life is too short.
Duh!! You dont have to get a big one and you dont have to get it where people can easily see it. It comes down to your own decision on what type of tattoo, why not something tiny like a star or a little flower or heart? Geze, lighten up and have an imagination..
Lol those people are jist too uptight! I got a tattoo that ended up Terrible but i try not to regret anything in my life because i always think, things happen for a reason. I live by that and every time something seems terribly gone wrong, itater becomes a blessing in disguise. Turned to be something betternor i strive to make the aituation work better for me. I dont regret my ugly tattoo LOL itsbquite funny now and one hell of an adventure behind it!! ^_^ never regret anything!!!
Someone once told me, “Don’t have no regrets.” I like the way he put it.
LOL no. 11 my photo on my blog is photoshopped! I’m in the process of changing it! I hate aging in a culture where youth is worshipped. Just being honest here.
Ha! I subscribe to The Bold Life – good to see you on this site. I am with you about our youth worshiping culture…I am finding it difficult to accept my age (57!)
No. 4 was my favorite – I read voraciously.
Great Post.
So interesting, Tess. Kudos for your honesty. Instead of hating aging in a culture where youth is worshipped, why not hate the aspect of our culture that worships youth? I’m a performer, and one reason why I don’t color my increasingly-white hair is so more people can see that a white-hair can rock too. But it isn’t easy; you’re right. Sometimes people assume I’m older than I am because everyone else is dyeing, not because I look “older” facially. Anyway, I guess I’m choosing to take one for the team and hoping it helps move our culture in a less-sick direction.
Sincerely, thanks!
Words to live by. Literally!
Excellent tips! I learned a few things too! Thanks for compiling this list. I might need to start my own…
Have a child – it will keep you looking at the world with a new perspective.
egads…how about “be around children.” We don’t want to promote wanton population increase…
Don’t expect too much from your fellow human’s – Remember we are all still primates
Trust, I stopped expecting anything at all from my fellow “human’s” a long time ago.
Although I suspect some species of primate could handle apostrophes better than many of my fellow humans.
Did you know that most people will work to meet your expectations regardless of whether they are high or low. You might find a better class of human if you started expecting the best out of them. Our animal nature does not diminish us.
Eat more protein ? What about global warming? ;)
No one said to slaughter more animals; there is plenty of protein available in the plant world.
Love your blog!
#101 Be willing to go to jail for justice! http://youtu.be/UROREYJQmfA
Exactly Judy. :)
#101 Never say anything to your kids that you wouldn’t want them to say to themselves or to their future kids.
Very nice! And too often forgotten.
Wow some of those are the worst advice. I can’t even finish the list. #2 is absolutely horrible. You will not succeed in anything worthwhile if you follow #2.
It depends on your interpretation of success
Yeah, it should have said “maintain a shallow existance, never look up, and for gods sake NEVER leave your house!”
You realize if several important historical figures didn’t “explore the unknown” we wouldn’t have important medicines, or discover things like electricity, science, and technology? How else did man learn to fly?
Any and all these things required some brave soul to go into an unknown area. If it wasn’t for them, the earth might still be flat.
So yeah, Johnny, sorry, but you are wrong.
Johnny, it says something to me about your mind when you take a simple statement the way you have. There’s more than one way of interpreting each of these, try to open your mind up a bit more, you’ll feel more informed.
101: Question everything
102: it’s a marathon not a sprint
so very true
Fantastic list. Most of these lists I find unoriginal and trite. Yours was anything but. I actually read the whole thing and clicked most of the links. Thank you for your contribution to civilization.
41 is good. An overlooked secret to success.
Great point Jeff. I have seen this played out all year
Excellent tips to live by. And, of course, the best reply was by Gavrev Eugene, “101 Reread this article at least once a month.”
Great post! It’s like the anti-thesis to the Bucket List.
Really enjoyed the list and the comments!
Looks good
oh man , this is good stuff!
print it – fridge it
I would pay for this list as an iPhone app. It’s an incredible list Julien!
That’s a great idea! It would be nice to refer back to it in an easily accessible way.
#44 (Oblique) has an iPhone app. Check it out.
Great Stuff I really liked it! Especially the work out and lift the heaviest weight! especially girls comment! Let’s gooooo! Gotta live life to the fullest.

Sigh. I was enjoying the list until I got to 89. This always happens…you’re trotting along reading something, and then there’s a comment like: “this applies to girls too.” WHAM! So…did everything up to that point NOT apply to “girls” too? For all your wisdom, Julien, this is a stunning oversight. My God, in 2012, you assume that women (ahem) don’t know they can lift weights?! This makes me rethink everything you’ve written. On the positive side, it reminds everyone that you, like all of us, have a huge amount still to learn. Keep it up, and thanks for not giving a fuck. In a good way.
“Don’t take things personally”
That is one of “THE FOUR AGREEMENTS” if you have heard of the book.
My fav is 16. Find things that inspire you and pursue them, even if there’s no money in it.
I’d add – Find another way to get it done without money.
Love is all that really counts.
Give more than you recieve.
101: learn an instrument
You might not want to advise people to eat more protein until you know anything about nutrition. Kthx.
I doubt the author is suggesting you consume huge quantities.. be realistic Gareth…
Don’t print this list out. Copy it down by hand. You will appreciate it more and maybe actually try something from the list.
I’ll add one: start a family.
Frieds, goals and life skills are important, but nothing is better than starting a family. Trust me.
Absolutely. And if you have kids, read to them every day.
Julien, this is a magnificent list, filled with things it has taken me 40+ years to appreciate, and many I’m still working on. Thank you. I’m going to read it to my son.
And a nice, unexpected finish with Iceland. I’ve been three times for the Airwaves festival (I wrote the festival blog in ’02 and ’03). It’s a magical place.
Never say anything online that you wouldn’t say to the person’s face.
What a refreshing read first thing on a Sunday morning. Love this list and would add one thing – Never go to someone’s home empty handed for dinner. Bring some token of appreciation.
This is great site. I forget if you mention volunteering outside of helping people. Volunteerism is a great way to grow, acquire new skills and gain wonderful perspectives on life. This is a great site. Keep up the wonderful work
Ingrid Exner
In order to get the benefits from #1, we must be able to distinguish true wisdom and insight from the plentiful bs that is freely given to us.
I’ll add two.
Learn to be alone and enjoy your own company.
Learn to be truly silent (not just while meditating). Learn to enjoy silence in everyday life. No music, no email, no internet, no TV.
Brilliant!…
Your 100 list of things is one of the best ever websites if seen, really impressed how much each one hits home…and I don’t say that too often. keep up the good work and I look forward to reading your blog
Smile at everyone to make them at ease
Yes!! Great list!! I love so many of them (still not so sure about the tattoo LOL)
And indeed… ICELAND is amazing! By all means go!! I went 2 years ago and had a wonderful time!! Can’t wait to go back!
Thanks for the inspiring comments, I love hearing about what people have learned in their life
The best conversations are had side by side, not one in front of the other.
Great post as always. What would you suggest to not pass off as a “know it all”? Sometimes people ask questions, and I answer them. Not to show off or anything, just because I know the answer and have no problem helping. Is it how you answer? Is it better to sometimes not answering even if you know the answer? Just wondering. :)
Hang out with smart(er) people should work.
I never have problems with self confidence. I quietly let people know they are wrong. And no.77 is ridiculous, there is no woman outside of my capture zone, just ones I don’t want :)
Do you find you reject women first who you assume/fear would reject you? That might not be self-confidence. o_O
If women in your vicinity knew that was your stance on women you would be alone.
Oh please…
Hi Julien, this is a very motivating post. You put a lot on the minds of people to view life in ways that they never thought of. I enjoyed reading it. Much success! ~I’m a Vita Woman
Love the list! Thanks Julian. Are you on Twitter?
Yup! I’m @julien
#53. Get a tattoo. Don’t worry about regret.
You don’t need a tattoo, allow yourself time and you will get permanent scars, some as a result of playing others of fighting (and not only on your skin).Every experience leaves a permanet mark on which we build on, and possibly move on.
Love this! Great way to think about things in life.
I liked it!!! Look forward to reading more from you.
I clicked on a link to subscribe to your blog (loved the list!) but ended up on this page instead, so put my info just above. Thanks!
Really good stuff here, a lot of which I found I already incorporate or at least think about. But sometimes for whatever reason, people need to hear these things again from someone else in order to believe it. I have been thinking about making a wall of inspiration and good thinking at my house and this stuff is great. My hope is maybe to inspire people that drop by, family, wife included, etc. to be just a little better and or just feel a little better. The ultimate goal is to have everyone in my life have a bit more positivity in theirs, making everyone’s life improve.
Love this idea, Dustin! A wall of inspiration! Thanks for that; I’m doing it.
Great collection of tips on how to live life!
Brilliant indeed.
I just did #83 (the first part). That felt good. Now, to follow through.
Keep the list coming these are great… Join a movement is my favorite!
This blog is by far one of my favorites, lets just say I am under 20 years old, but I know that you, my good man, are a genius. I love how blunt you are with your topics!! Your honest and you really know what you want from life. Please keep uploading more topics, it’s well worth it.
More than half of these tips are 99 percent impossible for me to achieve. And on everyone of those tips, I hit my desk or chair very angrily. All this did to me was affirm to me that I am not a happy, or successful person. The internet is the best thing in my life right now, there is something seriously wrong with me.
Utter Nonsense. This is one of the reasons Blogs should not exist.
I’m sorry, we can’t just get rid of blogs because of moronic comments and commentors.
Insightful! +9001
Hmmm… I agree with each of these, though I don’t think I’ll be getting a tattoo.
Though – ya never really know….
Great list
Thanks for posting this list.
It inspired me.
Number 13 is my favorite.
Keep the list coming!
this is fucking gay
102: Give up “gay” as a slur or descriptor for anything but “happy” or “homosexual”.
Just changed my twitter bio.
Wonderfully wise!
Nice list. Some unique and refreshing ones there as well. Thanks!
Thanks for telling me about Freedom! I had never heard about it. Also, it lead me to find Cold Turkey, which blocks you from social media sites while using Windows. So awesome! Thanks so much!!
Thank you for a great article Julien! :) I realized my good parents have already taught me to do most of those on your list, but I’ll work on the rest from now on. Thanks a lot! =)
Thanks for compiling this list. it made me look at the world with fresh new eyes.
106. Use less different fonts in the same article.
107. Learn when to use “less” and when to use “fewer.” Fewer different fonts.
This is exactly what I needed to read today, thank you!
49. Do bungee cords apply to this one aswell?
What tattoo should I get?
So I love the little random ones throughout, but the best one was #100. I’ve been wondering if I should go for a while and then BAMMMMMM it hits me. Thanks mate!
This is great!
Loved the last one, did not expect it! But, you know. It probably has something to do with the fact that I’m Icelandic. :)
GREAT list! Absolutely love it!
Great list! Very detailed. Grazie!
Shouldn’t #5 say “spend time around people WHO challenge you”? Not “that challenge you”. Same with #24.
It is the best thing I’ve read in a long time; I read a lot :)
Beauty at best here. Thanks for taking the time…
Love the list – I really want to quit my horrible job – but what to do after wards when my pockets are empty!!!
You HUSTLE! You find a way to make money doing what you love. You find many ways to make money doing things you like. You do odd jobs or temp while you figure it out. You redefine what you “need” vs. what you want. Maybe you sell everything and hit the road for a grand adventure. Most of all…you TRUST that if you are ON your Path, the Way will make it’s self clear.
sure some of these things are “inspiring” but really? why do you care how i take my coffee? and the average american gets all the protein they need for an entire week everyday and it turns straight to fat.
Katie. Read the science.
Aye, the science suggests that that statement is the opposite of what is correct.
Don’t forget: be good to yourself! I guess that is encapsulated in a few of the entries, at least.
Merci, Julien. Je me souviens!
Wonderful Life Tips, one more for you, “work smarter, not harder”
65. Apologize more than you need to.
Apologies deminishes people.
Only apologize when u’ve really fucked up.
WHAT? Apologies do not diminish people!!! Being an arrogant asshole who doesn’t apologize diminishes people. Where do you get the idea that apologizing makes someone less than? I’m sorry, but that is crazy talk.
Yes indeed, being an arrogant asshole who doesn’t apologize is bad, mkay.
Awesome needing facts for good human-beings. Something very difficult to accept and something already have in our lives. Thanks for your thinking and collection of awesome thoughts.
Thank you, Julian
Awesome post..
“26. If given the choice of equity or cash, always take cash.” I think the Facebook mural painter might beg to differ….
I have been in Iceland for a year studying, totally worth it! and totally changes my live.
Great blog!
Well these are all really great suggestions, I employ most of them already, but I can always make improvements.
LOVE.
Except the one about doing a pull up. That shit took me 2 years of rock climbing to master.
I looove this list! Will read it every morning. Would add …Switch off the TV!
I off to go and get my 1st tattoo at the age of 36!
#101 – Don’t seek life advice from lists on the internet.
Dude I can barely count to 100. Don’t think I could muster this many then ;-) A lot of really cool ones here though. Thanks.
All of these were amazing. I really liked #5 !
So simple, yet so profound. Bookmarked :)
“If you can’t do a pull-up you have problem” I giggled at this one. This makes me feel incomplete with a burning desire to better myself.
Cool stuff. Thx Jules.
wow brilliant, easily counted to 100 hhaha i want more like this…superb
“67. A good haircut changes everything.”
True. But my personal 101. on the list would be: “Let your hair grow longer than usual.” It’s a great task for self-confidence and changes you a lot.
I love a good happy list. I’m all about the happy. Look for twinkles, follow the winks, find your happy. ;)
#101: absolutely s.t.o.p procrastinating (seriously, this has changed my life :)
Julien: I love this site, love the language, love its honesty, and for the first time ever I´m actually putting in my most valuable asset (t.i.m.e) in scoffing down someone´s blog :)) Love it, love it!

Cheers!
This is very inspiring and witty. I appreciate and enjoy your style of writing. I love the list!
I love getting uncomfortable now and then, it allows me to learn new and exciting things. Mostly about myself!
its lovely and i love it
Well, I like this list a lot.
I took your advice on #68 and read Man’s Search for Meaning. Let me take this time to say: HOW HAVE I NEVER READ THAT BEFORE? It articulates so perfectly all of the principles and philosophies that I believe in so strongly.
And here I was feeling all smart for having hashed out some of these profundities on my own. Turns out, I was waaay behind — I could have just picked up this book. This guy nailed everything ages ago in one succinct and moving volume, and through an incomparably harrowing story.
Man’s Search for Meaning is now my new first date fodder. When my date starts to ask the “getting to know you” questions, I will just hand him this book and say that everything he needs to know about my worldview is found inside. No?? Too intense for a first date, you say??
Anyway, thanks for the recommendation, Julien. It really was one of THOSE books for me.
These are real life tips that anyone can use :)
Awesome list!
Printed out and going to practice it ! (not that tattoo one xD)
Love your blog ! Julien
Hey there, this is perfect, i love this and some things enumerated got to try it. I was inspired by these things. Life is so wonderful.
Had to laugh about people needing to purchase an app to stay off the Internet. I think Number 76 is terrible.
“Be like Jesus, not like his followers. (This applies to all of them.)”
Yeah, there are people out there who profess to be followers of Christ who are mean, hateful and bigoted. But that is far from the majority of them, only the ones you hear from. I know many Christians who live up to the title; who are loving, charitable and kind. Your entry bespeaks a subtle but real bigotry of your own against religious people and puts you in the same league/mindset as the worst of those you criticize. Not a productive use of your energy in my opinion.
I’d have to agree. Reverse bigotry. Do you know “all of them”?
I’m not so sure about the “get a tattoo” point… but other than that, a great list indeed!
The more I read the more happy I am by the thought that I am not alone!! It is incredible to see my own thoughts so beautifully put by someone else.
I am in awe :O
Thank youuuu :D
Very impressive. Probably a result of a person that has given life a lot of serious thought. You will grow older, as we all do and some of these points you will revise. But if you are a real person you will ignore my advice and keep writing and keep aspiring to these. Well done.
Some points valid. Good work!!!
“Keep people around you that will tell you the truth”

It can be translated as “If you are going to kill me look at me with the eyes of a killer”
Keeping communication as clear as possible avoids unnecessary conflicts. ;D
This was a wonderful find. Thank you – I enjoyed your wisdom and appreciate the time you spent to share it.
Nice post, i will definitely remembered and should be listed in my office. :-)
Interesting list. Some very good tips that I think everyone would do well to keep in mind.
Thank you for the post.
thanks so much for this list, it has given me some things to think about! I have bookmarked it so can come back to it later
1. True wisdom and insight is always free.
Nah! True wisdom and insight often comes at a price. Pain, dilemmas, frustration… just to name a few.
It is the reward from dealing with lifes difficulties.
yes,I think this was also helpful who feel scary about Lifestyle n think alot on it.
yeah,Read biographies. It’s like having access to the best mentors in history.
Life is Short its feelings who make it wider.
also an experience make’s one quoting.
Thanks u for posting it..
What a great list! Thanks for sharing, bookmark and re-read always to make my life better. =D
Very great list on Life! Bookmark and surely re-read it always. Always remind and update myself to improve from deep inside me. :)
Do not wait until you are old to set a “bucket list.” It is more difficult at 80 to ride a bronking bull than at 20. Find the tasks and goals you want to accomplish in your life as you go, and accomplish them fully as you go.
Thank you for the bold and italicized ones, it was just that…in bold and speaking to me. Bless your heart.
Thank you! I loved them all–especially # 79 and 80.
Truly awesome, but still i didn’t get the idea of going to Iceland.
nice. keep it up all
YES COME TO ICELAND!
These lists are the epitome of pretentiousness. Dammit people make your own fucking meaning out of life.
Slippy a lot of these things are my meaning but sometimes it is nice to read that they are shared by others. Sometimes it is also nice to feel encouraged about the path you have chosen to lead if it is off the straight and narrow. Even though I know for sure that my path is right for me, sometimes I question my wisdom in choosing such a difficult one.
#13 and #77 DONE!! Continuing with #13.
Iceland is something I want to do but the cold has always kept me away … I will aim for Iceland
Visit Iceland in the summer. That is when you do all the sight-seeing. Go in the winter for the best white Christmas and New years ever! Make sure you dress the part though… ;p
If you remain skeptical about everything, you might as well live in a hole for the rest of your life, and by the way, that clashes with #3. Good job.
Great piece. I got out of a meeting late yesterday afternoon and someone had your 100 life tips manifesto hanging on their wall, so I thought I’d take a look at your website. Good job all around Julien.
Thanks for this beautiful Advice ;)
“If given the choice of equity or cash, always take cash.” I Don’t agree. For example, 50 cent had 10% equity with vitamin water and received it on a contract deal and in return he promoted the product. so when they sold the company to coca-cola he received an estimated 400 million dollars gross. If he would have taken cash instead of equity in the beginning he would have nowhere near as much money as he has now.
Wow, this is great post, I print a copy of this and forward to my all friends. I’m really grateful.I like your tip -Read more. Especially things you disagree with.It’s always good to have many perspectives on any topic.
Life and all that is in it is a gift from the infinite mind;
and the only way that life can go wrong is by the limited finite mind.
You made my day!! After weeks of depression, reading some instruction really helps since I feel like I can’t decide on anything alone and need a lot of guidance
Superb list!
Amazing post, thanks for sharing!
I would have added:
#101 read all “bestselers”: the bible, the coran, and mao’s red book not stupid thing like Harry potter
But still I am septical about wherether or not this list is 101% recommendable
I’m not so sure about number six…
When someone apologises to me it hurt more than before
These were realy motivating, literally. thanks;)
