"The seven rules to follow to realize your true purpose in life-distilled by Arnold Schwarzenegger from his own journey of ceaseless reinvention and extraordinary achievement, and available for absolutely anyone. The world's greatest bodybuilder. The world's highest paid movie star. The leader of the world's sixth largest economy. That these are the same person sounds like the setup to a joke. But this is no joke. This is Arnold Schwarzenegger. And this did not happen by accident. Arnold's stratospheric success happened as part of a process. As the result of clear vision, big thinking, hard work, direct communication, resilient problem-solving, open-minded curiosity, and a commitment to giving back. All of it guided by the one lesson Arnold's father hammered into him above all: be useful. As Arnold conquered every realm he entered, he kept his father's adage close to his heart. Written with his uniquely earnest, blunt, powerful voice, Be Useful takes readers on an inspirational tour through Arnold's toolkit for a meaningful life. Arnold shows us how to put those tools to work, in service of whatever fulfilling future we can dream up for ourselves. He brings his insights to vivid life with compelling personal stories, life-changing successes and life-threatening failures alike-some of them famous, some told here for the first time ever. Too many of us struggle to disconnect from our self-pity and connect to our purpose. At an early age, Arnold forged the mental tools to build the ladder out of the poverty and narrow-mindedness of his rural Austrian hometown, tools he used to add rung after rung from there. Now he has shared that wisdom with all of us. As he puts it, no one is going to come rescue you-you only have yourself. The good news, it turns out, is that you are all you need"--.

"From the creator of Dilbert and New York Times bestselling author of Loserthink, the ultimate guide to reframing: rewiring your brain to remove bad habits, start good ones, and see the world in a new way Imagine if you could reprogram your brain to make yourself healthier, happier, and more successful, and all you had to do was listen to some new ways to think about ordinary topics. You need a reframe. Take an example Adams invented years ago, to much personal success. Usual Frame: Alcohol is a beverage Reframe: Alcohol is poison Is alcohol literally poison? No, of course not. Or maybe. Sort of. Depends. But it doesn't matter. Your brain will process a lie - or any form of fiction - the same way it processes a truth. Reframes don't need to be true. They don't even need to be logical. They only need to work. In Reframe Your Brain, cartoonist, author, and lifelong student of all forms of persuasion Scott Adams will present his best and most compelling reframes, showing you along the way how to expand on the examples in the book and reframe new situations on the fly. All you need for success are focus and repetition; optionally (but potentially helpful in sticking to the reframe), add in some kind of strong emotion. With this book, you'll be a reframe pro in no time. If you've been stuck in the mind frame that any real change in life is too big and daunting, Adams will help you reframe that way of thinking to instead look for the smallest thing you can do that moves you in the right direction. With infinite varieties of reframes at hand, you can start, one small step at a time, to live the life you always wanted"--.
