Total Recall

My Unbelievably True Life Story

By: Arnold Schwarzenegger

Narrated by: Stephen Lang, Arnold Schwarzenegger

In his signature larger-than-life style, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s memoir is a revealing self-portrait of his illustrious, controversial, and truly unique life.

The greatest immigrant success story of our time. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s story is unique—and uniquely entertaining—and he tells it brilliantly in these pages.

He was born in a year of famine in a small Austrian town, the son of an austere police chief. He dreamed of moving to America to become a bodybuilding champion and a movie star. By the age of twenty-one, he was living in Los Angeles and had been crowned Mr. Universe. Within five years, he had learned English and become the greatest bodybuilder in the world. Within ten years, he had earned his college degree and was a millionaire from his business enterprises in real estate, landscaping, and bodybuilding. He was also the winner of a Golden Globe Award for his debut as a dramatic actor in Stay Hungry. Within twenty years, he was the world’s biggest movie star, the husband of Maria Shriver, and an emerging Republican leader who was part of the Kennedy family. Thirty-six years after coming to America, the man once known by fellow body­builders as the Austrian Oak was elected governor of California.

Now, with raw honesty and insight, he tells the story of his life in his own voice. Here is Arnold, with total recall.

Amazing. I wish I got the extended version!

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.

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

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