Publisher's summary

One of the most anticipated autobiographies of this generation, Arnold Schwarzenegger's Total Recall is the candid story of 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.

Amazing life story

I wanted to read more about Arnold after Tim Ferriss had interviewed him on his podcast. His memoirs are amazing and It will be hard to find a book more interesting to read.

What inspired me most was his business acumen and intellect.

What a story

The key lessons are in the end chapters, but throughout this books, the detail of his life and honesty that goes with it; it is truly incredible. I can't listen to this book twice because of the length but I will definitely be reading the end chapters, every so often.

Inspiring but feels like things are missing.

A great listen that can really get you inspired to get up and go but feel like some stuff were omitted until he had to fess up to something. Maybe that's how it is and his life really is unbelievable. Another thing is only first and last chapters are narrirated by Arnold. In any case, to me it was definitly a worthwhile listen that I would recommend.

Unexpected and amazing

I had no idea what to expect of this book I loved that Arnold story is so bizarre, honest and inspiring. Love the parts he reads.

Wow! Beyond fantastic. Facinating and inspiring.

Incredible insight and drive. Just an amazing human being. Excellently read. Arnold's ending chapter 69 (is that coincidental in a sexual way???) is a masterfully presented summary of inspiration! Loved the listen and the man, but not in a "Girlie" kind of way!!!
