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.
The narrative is delivered with the same charisma and energy that we’ve come to expect from the former bodybuilder, actor, and politician. His distinct voice adds a personal touch, making it feel like he’s right there with you, sharing his life lessons over a cup of coffee.

Schwarzenegger’s distinctive voice and engaging storytelling make this audiobook an enjoyable listen. His personal anecdotes, peppered with humor and humility, provide a unique perspective on overcoming challenges and achieving success in various aspects of life. The way he intertwines his Hollywood career, bodybuilding triumphs, and political endeavors into the narrative adds depth and authenticity to the advice he imparts.
