The most inspiring book I’ve ever read was Arnold: The Education of a Bodybuilder by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Naturally, when he released Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story, this time with much more years of experience and a lifetime of accomplishments, I was beyond excited to get into it.
