Be Useful

阿诺德-施瓦辛格（Arnold Schwarzenegger）从自己不断创新和取得非凡成就的历程中提炼出的实现人生真正目标的七条准则。

阿诺德的成功是一个过程的一部分。阿诺德的成功是一个过程的一部分，是清晰的愿景、宏大的思维、勤奋的工作、直接的沟通、坚韧不拔地解决问题、好奇心以及回馈社会的承诺的结果。所有这一切都离不开阿诺德父亲给他上的一堂课：做一个有用的人。当阿诺德征服他所进入的每一个领域时，他都将父亲的格言牢记在心。

《有用》一书以阿诺德独有的认真、直率、有力的笔触，带领读者领略了阿诺德的人生哲理。阿诺德向我们展示了如何运用这些工具，为我们自己所梦想的充实未来服务。他用引人入胜的个人故事、改变人生的成功和威胁生命的失败--其中有些是知名的，有些则是初次在此讲述--将他的见解生动地展现在读者面前。

我们中的许多人都在努力摆脱自怨自艾，与自己的目标联系起来。阿诺德幼年时就在奥地利农村家乡的贫穷和狭隘中积累了搭建阶梯的精神工具，他用这些工具在那里搭建了一个又一个阶梯。现在，他与我们所有人分享了这一智慧。正如他所说，没有人会来拯救你，你只有自己。

The seven rules to follow to realise your true purpose in life-distilled by Arnold Schwarzenegger from his own journey of ceaseless reinvention and extraordinary achievement.

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, 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. 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.
