Five-time Mr. Universe, seven-time Mr. Olympia, and Mr. World, Arnold Schwarzenegger is the name in bodybuilding. Here is his classic bestselling autobiography, which explains how the “Austrian Oak” came to the sport of bodybuilding and aspired to be the star he has become. I still remember that first visit to the bodybuilding gym. I had never seen anyone lifting weights before. Those guys were huge and brutal….The weight lifters shone with sweat; they were powerful looking, Herculean. And there it was before me—my life, the answer I''d been seeking. It clicked. It was something I suddenly just seemed to reach out and find, as if I''d been crossing a suspended bridge and finally stepped off onto solid ground. Arnold shares his fitness and training secrets—demonstrating with a comprehensive step-by-step program and dietary hints how to use bodybuilding for better health. His program includes a special four-day regimen of specific exercises to develop individual muscle groups—each exercise illustrated with photos of Arnold in action. For fans and would-be bodybuilders, this is Arnold in his own words.

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.

LA MEJOR HISTORIA DE INMIGRACIÓN DE NUESTROS TIEMPOS Su historia es única, divertida, y en estas páginas la cuenta de manera brillante. Nació durante un año de hambruna en un pequeño pueblo de Austria, hijo de un jefe de policía muy austero. Soñaba con mudarse a los Estados Unidos para convertirse en campeón del fisiculturismo y estrella de cine. A los veintiún años vivía en Los Ángeles y ya había sido coronado como Mr. Universo. Cinco años más tarde había aprendido a hablar inglés y se había convertido en el mejor fisiculturista del mundo. Diez años más tarde había completado su título universitario y se había vuelto millonario gracias a sus empresas comerciales en el sector inmobiliario, el paisajismo y el fisiculturismo. También había ganado un Golden Globe por su debut como actor dramático en Stay Hungry. Veinte años más tarde era la estrella de cine más famosa del mundo, estaba casado con Maria Shriver y era un líder republicano emergente que formaba parte de la familia Kennedy. Treinta y seis años después de haber llegado a los Estados Unidos, el hombre que alguna vez fue conocido entre sus compañeros fisiculturistas como el "roble austriaco" fue elegido como gobernador de California, la séptima economía más grande del mundo. Gobernó el estado a lo largo de una crisis presupuestaria, desastres naturales y disturbios políticos, trabajando con ambos lados del espectro político para crear un mejor ambiente, reformas electorales y soluciones bipartidistas. Con Maria Shriver crió a cuatro hijos fantásticos. En medio del escándalo que él mismo creó, intentó mantener a su familia unida. Hasta ahora nunca ha contado la historia completa de su vida, en su propia voz. Éste es Arnold. Ésta es su vida total.

A partir da própria jornada, Schwarzenegger reúne as sete ferramentas que usou para realizar feitos extraordinários e se reinventar. Como ele diz, ninguém virá salvá-lo – você só tem a si mesmo. A boa notícia é que isso é tudo de que você precisa. “Se existe uma verdade inevitável no mundo é que nada substitui o esforço. Não existe atalho, truque nem pílula mágica que possa suprimir a necessidade de se empenhar muito para fazer bem seu trabalho, vencer um grande desafio ou realizar seus sonhos. As pessoas tentam poupar esforços e pular etapas desse processo assim que perceberam que o trabalho árduo é árduo mesmo. Com o tempo, elas ficam ou são deixadas para trás, porque trabalhar sem parar é a única coisa que funciona 100% das vezes para 100% das conquistas que valem a pena.” – Arnold Schwarzenegger
