Total Recall

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 toolkit for a meaningful life. Arnold 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 has shared 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.

Total Recall is the unbelievably true story of Arnold Schwarzenegger's life. Born in the small city of Thal, Austria, in 1947, he moved to Los Angeles at the age of 21. Within ten years, he was a millionaire business man. After twenty years, he was the world's biggest movie star. In 2003, he was Governor of California and a household name around the world.

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.

Fünfmal Mr. Universum, siebenmal Mr. Olympia und Mr. World – Arnold Schwarzenegger ist der Name im Bodybuilding. In dieser Autobiografie seiner frühen Jahre erfahren seine Fans hautnah, wie die »Steirische Eiche« überhaupt zum Bodybuilding kam und zum gefeierten Star aufstieg: »Ich erinnere mich noch an den ersten Besuch im Bodybuilding-Fitnessstudio. Ich hatte noch nie jemanden gesehen, der Gewichte stemmt. Die Typen waren riesig und brutal ... Die Gewichtheber glänzten vor Schweiß; sie sahen kraftvoll aus, herkulisch. Und da war es vor mir – mein Leben, die Antwort, nach der ich gesucht hatte. Es machte klick. Es war etwas, nach dem ich plötzlich einfach schien greifen zu können, als ob ich über eine Hängebrücke gegangen wäre und endlich festen Boden betreten hätte.« Arnold teilt seine Fitness- und Trainingsgeheimnisse. Er demonstriert mit einem umfassenden Schritt-für-Schritt-Programm und Ernährungstipps, wie man Bodybuilding für eine bessere Gesundheit nutzen kann. Sein Programm beinhaltet ein spezielles 4-Tage-Programm mit spezifischen Übungen zum Aufbau einzelner Muskelgruppen – jede Übung illustriert mit Fotos von Arnold in Aktion. Arnold: The Education of a Bodybuilder ist damit seit vielen Jahren endlich wieder in deutscher Sprache erhältlich.

Arnold's Bodybuilding for Men

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.
