Deets: From his own journey of ceaseless reinvention and achievement Arnold Schwarzenegger shares seven rules to follow to realize your true purpose in life.

At an early age, he forged the mental tools to build a ladder out of the poverty and narrow-mindedness of his rural Austrian hometown, tools he used to add rung after rung from there becoming one of the world’s greatest bodybuilders, to one of Hollywood’s highest-paid movie stars to becoming Governor of California — the leader of the world’s sixth-largest economy. He says his 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. In his new book Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life — which is part personal memoir filled with life-changing successes and life-threatening failures alike, some of them famous; some told for the first time ever — he offers his tool kit for a meaningful life showing us how to put those tools to work, in service of whatever fulfilling future we can dream up for ourselves. 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.
