Más información sobre el libro

The seven rules for discovering your true purpose in life are distilled by Arnold Schwarzenegger from his 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 the sixth-largest economy, Arnold's extraordinary success is no accident. It stems from a process involving clear vision, ambitious thinking, hard work, effective communication, resilient problem-solving, open-minded curiosity, and a commitment to giving back. Central to his journey is the lesson his father instilled in him: to be useful. 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 shares compelling personal stories, detailing both life-changing successes and life-threatening failures—some well-known and others shared for the first time. Many struggle to break free from self-pity and connect with their purpose, but Arnold developed mental tools early on to rise above the limitations of his rural Austrian upbringing. He emphasizes that no one will come to rescue you; you must rely on yourself. The encouraging truth is that you are all you need.
