THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
The seven rules to follow to realize your true purpose in life—distilled by Arnold Schwarzenegger from his own journey of ceaseless reinvention and extraordinary achievement, and available for absolutely anyone.
The world’s greatest bodybuilder. The world’s highest-paid movie star. The leader of the world’s sixth-largest economy. That these are the same person sounds like the setup to a joke, but this is no joke. This is Arnold Schwarzenegger. And this did not happen by accident.
Arnold’s stratospheric success happened as part of a process. As the result of clear vision, big thinking, hard work, direct communication, resilient problem-solving, open-minded curiosity, and a commitment to giving back. All of it guided by the one lesson Arnold’s father hammered into him above all: be useful. As Arnold conquered every realm he entered, he kept his father’s adage close to his heart.
Written with his uniquely earnest, blunt, powerful voice, Be Useful takes readers on an inspirational tour through Arnold’s tool kit for a meaningful life. He shows us how to put those tools to work, in service of whatever fulfilling future we can dream up for ourselves. He brings his insights to vivid life with compelling personal stories, life-changing successes and life-threatening failures alike—some of them famous; some told here for the first time ever.
Too many of us struggle to disconnect from our self-pity and connect to our purpose. At an early age, Arnold forged the mental tools to build the ladder out of the poverty and narrow-mindedness of his rural Austrian hometown, tools he used to add rung after rung from there. Now he shares that wisdom with all of us. As he puts it, no one is going to come rescue you—you only have yourself. The good news, it turns out, is that you are all you need.
Kundenrezensionen
A light in the dark, a hero we need
This book is very special to me. Arnold has been my hero and my imaginary on-screen Dad since I can remember.
Through his movies and his actions outside of movies he inspired me to train my body at the age of 13. At age 17, when I thought I’ve reached my dream physique I started giving back by creating my own training camp, training other teenagers for free.
I’m now 35, successful and still giving back as much as I can.
However, this book reminded me that I can still do more, I can go further, achieve more for myself, help more people, be more useful to the community around me and make more of my dreams come true.
This book felt like a personal conversation with Arnold. It felt like my hero was speaking directly to me, and he probably has changed my life for the better once again.
If any of my words resonate with you, I highly recommend you treat yourself to this book and improves yourself and your life too. You will not regret it.
