Publisher's summary

One of the most anticipated autobiographies of this generation, Arnold Schwarzenegger's Total Recall is the candid story by one of the world's most remarkable actors, businessmen, and world leaders.

Born in the small city of Thal, Austria, in 1947, Arnold Schwarzenegger moved to Los Angeles at the age of 21. Within 10 years, he was a millionaire businessman. After 20 years, he was the world's biggest movie star. In 2003, he was elected governor of California and became a household name around the world.

Chronicling his embodiment of the American Dream, Total Recall covers Schwarzenegger's high-stakes journey to the United States, from creating the international bodybuilding industry out of the sands of Venice Beach to breathing life into cinema's most iconic characters and becoming one of the leading political figures of our time. Proud of his accomplishments and honest about his regrets, Schwarzenegger spares nothing in sharing his amazing story.

only partly Ah-Nuld

great story, of course. unfortunately, Arnold only reads a small part of the whole. Otherwise, it was thrilling.

Schwarzenegger is an inspiration!

I really love this book! I found it not only intriguing and interesting listening to the man tell us about his life, but also there was an extreme amount of value and what he is telling us. his technique of visualization and following through is remarkable and its simplicity. and like he says anyone can do it. and it is quite funny when he describes his wife's eulogy for her father, when she states how father always taught her sons had a tree woman, and Arnold thought that she might have been referring to him, but maybe not. simply endearing Arnold!

Amazing. I wish I got the extended version!

Where does Total Recall rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Being the first of it's kind that I've listened to, I'm very pleased with the quality and layout of this product.

What did you like best about this story?

How it doesn't end, and when it does, you're stuck wondering "where's the rest of it, that can't be all that happened!"

Any additional comments?

I was never a huge Arnold fan until I listened to this. Now I find myself needing to do more research into his life. I have to listen again for items I missed the first time, and go over all the lessons he insist you learn from this book. The last chapter really brings it home, the first chapter really lets you know why he is the way he is.

absolutely love this book

I never got tires of listening to this book. every time I was in my vehicle I had to hear the rest of the story. great values too.

Amazing

One of the best books I've read, I listen to eat every once in a while. Best book for inspiration.

Unbelievable!

At first I was reluctant to use my hard earned income to purchase this book because some of those dollars would eventually make it into Arnold's bank account. And I didn't think he needed any of my financial support! However, one of my mentors recommended this book because of a conversation we had regarding, "applied knowledge!" Having an auto-immune health issue my whole life has changed and it is a deep desire to be better today than I was yesterday! The bottom line is some of Arnold's last words, "Stay Hungery!"

Loved it from start to finish!

Wish it was fully narrated by Arnold himself but the narrator did a fantastic job as well. Powerful story of a great man. Thank you for the motivation Arnold!

A MUST READ AND HAVE!

An amazing book that all should read, and remember anything can be done with a mindset of strength, focus, and optimism.

Excellent

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would most definitely recommend this book. I grew up watching Arnold movies and always found his story interesting. My expectations of this book was that it would be something to fill the time, but I didnt expect it to be so captivating.

What about Stephen Lang and Arnold Schwarzenegger ’s performance did you like?

Stephen Lang has an excellent narrative voice for this book, although I more thoroughly enjoyed Arnold's voice.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, I definitely found myself making time to enjoy it. Great book.
