Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life
March 4, 2024
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.
I was attracted to this book by the fact that Arnold Schwarzeneger is the author. This is a great book. His advice is helpful and good to take to heart. Of course a man who is Mr. Universe and who worked hard to get there would know a thing or two about working hard and achieving your goals. He was sincere and honest in his writing. I even laughed out loud on a couple of occasions.
