Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? It's great to hear Arnold tell his story and Lang jumps in for the bulk of the book. The book is read by both Arnold and Steven Lang. What does Stephen Lang and Arnold Schwarzenegger bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book? Arnold did more than say that the United States of America was the greatest country in the world he proved it. You can't listen to this book and not be motivated. It's truely the best example of the American dream. He has mingled with Presidents, business giants and celebrities and yet in his mind he is still a regular guy who just worked extremely hard and did well. Here is a man who came to the United States with next to nothing and became a successful business person, the world's best bodybuilder, one of the world's top grossing actor, led the nation in a push for physical fitness and became the governor of California. He is extremely fair pointing out all of the both his bad points as well as the good. I give this 5 STARS over all for a better than I ever expected Bio.Īlthough this book follows the life of this amazing person, it's much more, it explains why Arnold made all of the major decisions in his life. The Reader Stephen Lang is very good and Arnold reads parts himself. It is very well written and the story flows along.
We see the flaws in this bigger than life man and his secrets that help destroy his marriage. Arnold comes across as a very intelligent and interesting man. He puts in a "compartment" in his mind and trys his best to keep it "under raps". His ablity to ignore anything that would cause him trouble. Arnold has a trick he uses throughout his book.
He stated he only suspected the boy was his after the boy was 7.
He has a 14 year old son with his housekeeper. He finally confessed a life changing "secret" the day after was no longer governor. He can sell himself in bodybuilding, acting, and republican governor in a very democratic state. Arnold is at best brilliant but perhaps is the worlds great salesman. He was planning on running on the republican ticket for Governor of California and told Maria only *days* before his David Letterman annoucement. He decided not to tell Maria he needed open heart surgery. Arnold makes his own decisions even after he is married.
