Overview
Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life is Arnold Schwarzenegger's instant number one bestselling guide to living with purpose, drawn from his own remarkable journey from a small Austrian village to global stardom. Part memoir, part practical playbook, this hardback distils the lessons behind his success as a champion bodybuilder, Hollywood icon and Governor of California into seven clear, actionable tools that any reader can apply to their own life, whatever their starting point or ambition.

About the Book
Arnold Schwarzenegger has lived several extraordinary lives in one: world champion bodybuilder, record-breaking movie star, successful entrepreneur, environmental campaigner and two-term Governor of California. In Be Useful, he steps back from the headlines to explain how he actually got there, breaking his philosophy down into seven core tools for a meaningful life: having a clear vision, thinking big, working hard, selling your ideas to the world, ignoring the naysayers, embracing failure as part of the process, and giving back. Each tool is explored through candid, often funny, sometimes painful personal stories, from his childhood in post-war Austria to his father's single piece of advice that gave the book its title: be useful. Rather than offering vague motivational platitudes, Schwarzenegger writes in his trademark blunt, energetic voice, showing readers exactly how he applied each principle at pivotal moments in his career and life, including setbacks that could easily have ended it. The result is a book that works equally well as memoir and as a practical manual for self-improvement, aimed at readers who want to stop making excuses and start building the life they actually want. Hardback buyers get the original UK first edition, published by Ebury Publishing in October 2023, featuring full-colour photographs and the complete, unabridged text that made this an instant Sunday Times number one bestseller on release.
