The seven rules for realizing your true purpose in life are distilled from Arnold Schwarzenegger's journey of relentless reinvention and remarkable achievement, accessible to anyone. From the world's greatest bodybuilder to the highest-paid movie star and leader of a major economy, Arnold's success is no accident; it's the result of a clear vision, hard work, direct communication, resilient problem-solving, open-minded curiosity, and a commitment to giving back. Guided by his father's lesson to "be useful," Arnold embraced this philosophy as he conquered various realms. In his uniquely earnest and powerful voice, Arnold takes readers on an inspirational journey through his toolkit for a meaningful life, demonstrating how to apply these tools toward creating a fulfilling future. He enriches his insights with compelling personal stories, detailing both life-changing successes and life-threatening failures—some well-known, others shared for the first time. Many struggle to break free from self-pity and connect with their purpose. Arnold, having forged mental tools to escape the limitations of his rural Austrian hometown, now shares that wisdom. He emphasizes that no one will come to rescue you; you must rely on yourself. The encouraging message is that you are all you need to achieve your dreams.
