A book on skills that helped the world’s top bodybuilder, highest paid actor, and governor of the 5th largest economy in the world achieve his goals.
I bought this book because I’m a huge fan of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Terminator 2 is one of my favorite movies, and Arnold was my inspiration when I began lifting weights over 20 years ago.
Arnold will take you on a journey of what it’s like to come from a small village with no running water, all the way to the governors chair of California. As fantastic as his life is today, it came from hard work, getting help from others, reciprocating the good will, and always pushing what was possible.
On a personal level, I think that teaching through stories is one of the best ways to learn. Unfortunately, most people either live boring lives, or they tell boring stories.
Arnold’s stories are just interesting, even the more humble ones like selling tile with his first boss. Selling tile helped him nearly a decade later to promote they bodybuilding industry and to become it’s first superstar. When he announced his ambition to be an actor, he took the ridicule from the media (he was laughed at by a room full of reporters), and used it as motivation.
I like this as a book, and love it as an audiobook. If you choose the former, when you click the link below I may receive a commission from Amazon for the book.
