Nir Peled, author of Beyond 100 Percent: Rebuilding Life After It Breaks (May 1, 2026)? Rooted in a background spanning Israeli Defense Forces leadership, high-pressure technology executive roles, and the quiet wisdom of his Holocaust-survivor grandmother, Nir built a practical system for healing that delivered results few thought possible, one that took him beyond 100%.
Life can change in a heartbeat. What will you do when it happens to you?
When Nir Peled collapsed on the floor of his home office from a stroke at age 49, everything changed. In an instant, he lost his speech, mobility, and sense of identity. In the months that followed, he embarked on a grueling journey of rehabilitation, rebuilding his body, mind, and cognitive function, and in the process, uncovered more than he ever expected.
The stroke wasn’t Nir’s first brush with death. He has survived a car bombing in the Sinai Desert, anaphylaxis that ended his military career, the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, a violent armed robbery deep in the Amazon jungle, cancer that spread fast, and a serious motorcycle accident. Each crisis taught him something different about resilience and rebuilding, but the stroke became his greatest teacher, revealing how all those lessons could come together into a framework for moving forward after life falls apart.
This book began as a recovery journal. What the reader discovers alongside Nir, one honest chapter at a time, is something he didn’t set out to write: a complete framework for rebuilding after everything breaks. The principles weren’t planned. They were earned.
Written with raw honesty and unexpected humor, this is not a clinical guide or a collection of platitudes. It’s the story of a recovering high performer who had to relearn everything, and a powerful guide for anyone rebuilding life after it breaks.
In an interview, Nir can talk about:
How to navigate the raw early days when everything feels impossible, and begin to move past the trauma
The Three Pillars framework for rebuilding body, mind, and spirit after a life-altering setback
Why surrender can be your greatest strength in recovery and mental health
Practical principles that turn overwhelming challenges into manageable steps
How to find meaning in the breaking and build something stronger with hope, humor, and hard-won wisdom
Because when adversity makes you question everything, the real question isn’t just how you’ll get back up, it’s who you’ll become along the way.
