Seven lessons from the international icon on how to live a meaningful, purposeful life, for fans of Atomic Habits and Wim Hof

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.

The Earned Life

Highlights:

A powerful framework for living a fulfilled life from the world’s no.1 executive coach

Discover the steps to earning your path to fulfillment and living without regrets-from the world-renowned executive coach and New York Times bestselling author of What Got You Here Won’t Get You There

Our lives exist on a continuum between two poles: fulfillment and regret. We invest enormous resources of time and energy into staying healthy, being recognized for our achievements and nurturing our relationships. When we make the right investments, we earn our lives. But how can we know if we’re investing in the right things? How can we ensure that our “earned rewards” add up to an overarching sense of purpose in our lives?

In The Earned Life, pioneering leadership coach Marshall Goldsmith shows us how to live our own lives-not someone else’s version of them. The key to living the earned life, unbound by regret, requires our commitment to a habit of connecting what we do to something greater than the isolated achievements of our personal ambition. Taking inspiration from Buddhism, Goldsmith implores readers to accept impermanence and avoid the Great Western Disease of “I’ll be happy when…”. He offers practical advice for shedding the obstacles, especially our failures of imagination, that prevent us from creating our own lives. With this book as their guide, readers can close the gap between what they plan to achieve and what they actually get done.

Packed with illuminating exercises and stories from Goldsmith’s storied career as a coach to some of the world’s most high-achieving leaders, The Earned Life is a powerful roadmap for ambitious people seeking a higher purpose.

The Power of Thoughts

Incredibly, the ingredients of a hugely successful life cost nothing at all. In fact, we mass-produce 60,000 of them every day. These are the thoughts that our mind creates.

Since all aspects of our life are so strongly linked to our thoughts, we have much to gain by deepening our understanding of them. In this book, Swami Mukundananda, a world-renowned spiritual teacher from India and an internationally acclaimed mind-management authority, will teach you about watching your thoughts, directing them, dismantling harmful thought structures, creative thinking, meditation and much more.

අපි දිගින් දිගට හුරුවෙන්න ගත්තම,
එතකොට අපි මැටි පිඩක් වගේ වෙනවා.
මිනිස්සු අපෙන් එයාලා කැමැති කැමැති
නිර්මාණ කරන්න ගන්නවා.”

නෑ අනුෂ් ,
අපි හැමෝම නවතින්න ඕනේ
නිශ්චිත තැනක ජීවිතේ.
අපි කාටවත් හැරයන්න ඕනේ නෑ
ඇයි අපි ඒ කරදරේත් බාරගන්නේ?.”

In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be “positive” all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people

For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. “Fuck positivity,” Mark Manson says. “Let’s be honest, shit is fucked and we have to live with it.” In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugar-coat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected

American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—“not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society and some of it is not fair or your fault.” Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace
our fears, faults and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity and forgiveness we seek.

Kiss That Frog

Highlights:

iss That Frog! is a positive, inspirational offering from self-help author Brian Tracy and his daughter Christina, a psychotherapist by profession. Drawing from Tracy’s experiences in motivational speaking and Christina’s counselling experience, the book presents tried and tested techniques to help readers turn the negativity in their lives into absolute positivity.

People all over the world strongly, and often secretly, desire to be the best possible versions of themselves. Unfortunately for them, a variety of factors including fear, anger, and a lack of confidence, hamper their growth and success. These factors and several others can be traced to one primary element – negativity. With careful thought, it becomes obvious that negative thoughts and actions can turn out to be self-fulfilling and hold people back from reaching their highest potential.

At this point, the authors step in with their penetrating insight into the root causes of negativity. They help readers discover and identify debilitating mental blocks. They also provide simple yet powerful techniques to help readers challenge deep-rooted negative mindsets and turn them into stepping-stones on the path to success.

The book discusses various topics like evaders, fear of rejection, happiness, success, persistent negative thoughts, blame games, and feelings. It motivates and guides its readers to develop unwavering faith in themselves in order to be the best that they can be, and live the extraordinary lives that they are born to lead.

Kiss That Frog! was published in 2012. It has received positive reviews for its motivational yet non-preachy quality.

Everything Is F*cked : A Book About Hope

Highlights:

We live in an interesting time. Materially, everything is the best it’s ever been—we are Freer, healthier and wealthier than any people in human history. Yet, somehow everything seems to be irreparably and horribly f*cked—the planet is warming, governments are failing, economies are collapsing, and everyone is perpetually offended on Twitter. At this moment in history, when we have access to technology, education and Communication our ancestors couldnt even dream of, so many of us come back to an overriding feeling of hopelessness. What’s going on? If anyone can put a name to our current malaise and help fix it, it’s mark manson. In 2016, manson published the subtle art of not giving a f*ck, a book that brilliantly gave shape to the ever-present, low-level hum of anxiety that permeates modern living. He showed us that technology had made it too easy to care about the wrong things, that our culture had convinced us that the world owed us something when it didn’t—and worst of all, that our modern and maddening urge to always find happiness only served to make us unhappier. Instead, the “subtle art” of that title turned out to be a bold challenge: to choose your struggle; to narrow and focus and find the pain you want to sustain. The result was a book that became an international phenomenon, selling millions of copies worldwide while becoming the #1 bestseller in 13 different countries. Now, in everything is f*cked, manson turns his gaze from the inevitable flaws within each individual self to the endless calamities taking place in the world around us. Drawing from the pool of psychological research on these topics, as well as the timeless wisdom of philosophers such as Plato, Nietzsche, and Tom waits, he dissects religion and politics and the uncomfortable ways they have come to resemble one another. He looks at our relationships with money, entertainment and the Internet, and how too much of a good thing can psychologically eat us alive. He openly defies our definitions of faith, happiness, freedom even of hope itself. With his usual mix of erudition and where-the-f*ck-did-that-come-from humor, manson takes us by the collar and challenges us to be more honest with ourselves and connected with the world in ways we probably haven’t considered before. It’s another counterintuitive romp through the pain in our hearts and the stress of our soul. One of the great modern writers has produced another book that will set the agenda for years to come.
