Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger has come a long way from being a bodybuilding champion to an on-screen star who rules millions of hearts. His potential is seen in everything he does. With his new upcoming book, Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life, he is sharing some of the best life advice with everyone. The book is expected to hit the shelves in October this year, and it also reflects one of the best pieces of advice he often received from his father, Gustav Schwarzenegger.
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Father’s Best Piece of Advice
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s reputation speaks for itself. The actor is known as a man of many talents who has had a successful bodybuilding, acting, and political career, along with being an affluent businessman. He recently opened up about his personal and professional life in his Netflix docuseries Arnold and is now sharing his best life advice in his upcoming book, Be Useful.
He described his Seven Tools for Life, saying that they have always worked and will always work as well. The Terminator star describes them as “a blueprint or road to a happy, successful, useful life.” The name of the book is inspired by his father’s best advice. Arnold Schwarzenegger has been quite open about his relationship with his father, who also served as a Nazi party official.
In his book, the actor opened up about the best piece of advice he often got from his father. “Be Useful, Arnold,” he recalled his father’s words, saying, “It’s the best piece of advice my father gave me.” He shared that it has never left his mind, and with his book, he wants to share it with everyone and pay it forward.
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Friends Called Him Forrest Gump
Arnold Schwarzenegger has gained immense success in his life and has had the honor of meeting some of the most influential people in the world, including Muhammad Ali, Nelson Mandela, and many others. In his book, the actor shared that it has also become the reason why many of his friends often refer to him as Forrest Gump.
“My friends like to call me Forrest Gump because I’ve met every President since Lyndon Johnson,” he shared. The Predator star shared that every time he met someone influential, he would ask for their advice and listen carefully to the words of wisdom offered by them. “I asked for advice. And then I listened,” he mentioned in his book.
He also talks about how it’s important not to give up or complain after losing something. However, the actor advised to take it as a “learning experience… to get better and smarter and to come back stronger the next time.”
Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life is expected to be released on 10 October 2023.
