Be useful - Seven tools for life
ISBN : 9781529146554
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. Success is the result of clear vision, hard work, curiosity, and a commitment to giving back. For Arnold, all of it is guided by the one lesson his father hammered into him above all : be useful. Distilling his hard-earned wisdom into seven essential rules for realising your true purpose, Be Useful is an indispensable guide to building the life you want, from a master of ceaseless reinvention.
