Review: Practical, Motivating, and Straight to the Point - “This book is a mix of autobiography and self-help, and it works really well. Arnold shares his life lessons through seven ‘tools’ that are simple but powerful: vision, hard work, problem-solving, resilience, communication, curiosity, and giving back. The stories from his own journey make the advice feel real and motivating, not just theory. The writing is very straightforward—almost like Arnold is speaking directly to you—which makes it easy to read and inspiring. Some readers might find his style a bit tough or blunt, but that’s exactly what makes the message strong. Overall, it’s a practical book for anyone looking for motivation or clarity in life. Not revolutionary if you’ve read a lot of self-development books, but the personal stories make it unique. I’d definitely recommend it.”
Review: Must Read from Arnold - I absolutely loved every page of this book. So much so, I bought a copy for my son and I'm going to drop it off to him myself, in-person, in another state. Why did you like this specific book? Why is it so important? The way Arnold articulated his messages and organized the book was derived from his own life but with both truth and respect for the reader. He establishes his premises based on his life experiences and does site other people that have used the same or similar strategies to get things done. This entire book was funny, thoughtful, candid and 100% interested in helping the reader build out their lives and goals better. Does Arnold Schwarzenegger have the right to be arrogant? Maybe. Is he at all in this book? Nope. He is honest. And he is also very moving with his stories, especially growing up in Austria. But most importantly, this book does have the power to inspire and change the trajectory of a life or two. And it dismisses any bullshit excuses individuals have created for themselves to be less than what their goals and ideals tell them they should be. It's a great read with better advice and diection than I could give or would have. Also, not every idea needs to be adhered to. Even a few of Arnold's frameworks will help move a person forward. One last thing. This isn't a get rich quick book. If that's what you want, this is not the right book. This book is about looking at your raw building blocks that are already in you and making a mountain out of them. I already liked Arnold because of his attitude and his public persona. He just gave everyone his roadmap of how he did it and challenged us to make it our own. Absolutely fantastic.
