Arnold’s Book is the Most Schwarzenegger Thing I’ve Ever Read in My Life
But, you know, in a good way
I ripped through Arnold Schwarzenegger’s book like I was tearing a phone book in half, and I end up with five full pages of notes.
I feel as though you’ve heard of Arnold already? Do I really need to introduce the guy?
Anyway, he’s a former Mr. Olympia bodybuilder who went on to become an action movie superstar, then took over politics, then turned around and became a charity leader helping American children access all the same opportunities he had while coming up in America.
He also wrote an autobiography a few years back that I quite enjoyed, called Total Recall. Which, if you know about his movie career, is an amaaazing title for an autobiography.
But this one, Be Useful, is more of a self-help book that grew out of advice Arnold received from his father, and many of the lessons he learned about visualizing a big, incredible dream and then sacrificing everything that didn’t bring himself closer to it.
I’ve written a full breakdown of the book that you can read in 32 minutes, and I’m going to share a sample of that breakdown here in this article.
The full breakdown is available right here for free, and then in a few weeks I’ll be putting it…
