From the number one New York Times-bestselling author of Be Useful comes a master class in living in a dynamic state of continual improvement.
Success is not an outcome, it’s a way of life. Arnold Schwarzenegger learned long ago, as the greatest bodybuilder in history, that joy does not come from making it to the winner’s circle, it comes from the work it takes to get there. There’s a reason that we all love to be told we’re “cooking” and we hate to be told that we’re “cooked.” And yet. Humans as a species are the safest we’ve ever been, and yet we’re facing an unprecedented epidemic of loneliness, obesity and desperation. We have forgotten that we were born to hunt: happiness comes from what we do when we’re hungry, not when we’re full.
In Better Every Day, Arnold draws on priceless stories from his own life to help you on a path of continual improvement, whatever stage of life you’re in. It all starts, naturally, with simply beginning—the small steps that begin to create momentum. Arnold’s law of human momentum is the foundation for everything that follows. From there consistency is reinforced, and habit formation and identity building follow. Then deeper challenges strengthen durable willpower and resilience. As we build, we find community, strengthening connection, which refines meaning and purpose and forges an un breakable flywheel of success. Better Every Day breaks this down into twelve building blocks that flow from one to the next; they can be thought of as the ruling themes of a 12-month journey, but the time span is really the least of it. These are rules for life.
Arnold Schwarzenegger has surpassed every goal he has set for himself in his epic journey through the highest realms of sports, entertainment, politics, and philanthropy. He sees his greatest goal yet as helping people around the world achieve a powerful growth mindset, bringing us back into balance, and into the flourishing that is our birthright.
