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 Bodybuilding

Good story over all. Was good to hear Arnie's life story. I didn't know he was one of the people to lift the body building sport to the worlds attention back then. Lots to hear about in his life in general. He talks about Conan The Barbarian & Terminator the most (with regards to movies) but they only get 10 minutes each I'd say. Some of his movies only get a sentence. No ins & outs of the movie's. If only he spent as much time on his movie life as he did about being the governor. That part is yawn . For about an hour on the governor explaining why he made this & that decision (yawn).

I would recommend.... its Arnie...everyone loves Arnie, what a life.

32 Chapters..... Arnie reads the first & last 2

Good Story

I really enjoyed this book - it entertained me through many hrs of walking & gardening. Like others, I was disappointed when Arnold stopped reading as his voice is so soothing & interesting but Steven Lang’s deep voice was not too much of a departure & he did a good job. Being Australian, I did not know much about Arnie other than he was a bodybuilder, action figure & governor so I really enjoyed the journey & understanding of his achievements (though will be forever disappointed he cheated on his wife).

Many hours of entertainment!
