“I will be back!” – said the Terminator, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s world-famous character. And he has already done the same several times in his own life: from a bodybuilder he became an actor, then a politician, but after the end of his political career he continues to work in charity and film.

His book “Be useful. 7 Tips for Life” is Arnold Schwarzenegger’s compilation of, in his own words, seven tools that he has used throughout his life. “They are timeless – they have always worked and they will always work. To use them, you need to know where you want to go and how to do it. You have to want to work. And the most important thing – when you get where you wanted to get to, you must be aware of the help you received on the way and give it accordingly.”

The thesis “be useful” was taught to Arnold as a life motto by his own father, and although they did not agree on its understanding for many years, it still inspired Schwarzenegger throughout his life. His revelations in this book are not unique, but as shown by the ups and downs of the author’s own life, they are definitely worth reading and using. He says that he has also read a lot of works and biographies of successful people in order to learn from them, “Zvaigzne ABC” informs.

After the crisis and covid, the world has changed and a lot of people feel anxious, unhappy and lost hope. The author admits that after the end of his political career he felt exactly the same: his career, family and reputation had collapsed. What’s next? Two paths remained: to allow the collapse or to find new goals and fulfill them. As a fighter himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger chose the latter path and in this book he shares basic ideas on how to get back up when you’re knocked down.

The chapter headings are short and concise, but the text that follows is like a calm, inspiring conversation between the author and the reader. A conversation that allows you to stop and rest at the moment when you seem to have no more strength, but encourages you to get up after the rest and go on. To discover new sources of energy in oneself and to use them, being reborn for a new, more successful and happier life, the publishing house states.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is an Austrian-born bodybuilder, actor, politician and philanthropist. He gained world fame with his participation in the Hollywood films “Terminator”, “Twins” and others.
