In his signature larger-than-life style, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s memoir offers a revealing self-portrait of his illustrious and controversial life. Born in a small Austrian town during a year of famine, he aspired to move to America to become a bodybuilding champion and movie star. By twenty-one, he was living in Los Angeles and had been crowned Mr. Universe. Within five years, he mastered English and became the world's greatest bodybuilder. In ten years, he earned a college degree and became a millionaire through ventures in real estate, landscaping, and bodybuilding, even winning a Golden Globe for his acting debut in Stay Hungry. In twenty years, he emerged as the world’s biggest movie star, married Maria Shriver, and became a prominent Republican figure connected to the Kennedy family. After thirty-six years in America, he was elected governor of California, navigating budget crises, natural disasters, and political turmoil while advocating for environmental reforms and bipartisan solutions. Together with Maria, he raised four wonderful children. Following a personal scandal, he sought to keep his family intact. Until now, he has never shared the complete story of his life in his own voice. Here is Arnold, with total recall.
