About this listen

 In his signature larger-than-life style, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s memoiris a revealing self-portrait of his illustrious, controversial, and truly unique life.

The greatest immigrant success story of our time. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s story is unique—and uniquely entertaining—and he tells it brilliantly in these pages.

He was born in a year of famine in a small Austrian town, the son of an austere police chief. He dreamed of moving to America to become a bodybuilding champion and a movie star. By the age of twenty-one, he was living in Los Angeles and had been crowned Mr. Universe. Within five years, he had learned English and become the greatest bodybuilder in the world. Within ten years, he had earned his college degree and was a millionaire from his business enterprises in real estate, landscaping, and bodybuilding. He was also the winner of a Golden Globe Award for his debut as a dramatic actor in Stay Hungry. Within twenty years, he was the world’s biggest movie star, the husband of Maria Shriver, and an emerging Republican leader who was part of the Kennedy family. Thirty-six years after coming to America, the man once known by fellow body­builders as the Austrian Oak was elected governor of California.

Now, with raw honesty and insight, he tells the story of his life in his own voice. Here is Arnold, with total recall. Entertainment & Celebrities Politicians Politics & Activism Sports

From an Austrian boy who dreams of becoming a world champion bodybuilder, to living the dream life in California acting in block buster Hollywood movies, to becoming the Governor of California. An absolutely inspiring recount of Arnold's life has personally led me to strive in all endeavors in my life. I highly recommend this book to any listener who has dreams of becoming something great in this world.

Great book and good insight into Arnold's world and struggles he faced and how he overcame them. Would have like Arnold narrating more, but it is done very well regardless.

Great book!
