Total Recall (Enhanced Edition)
Total Recall (Enhanced Edition): My Unbelievably True Life Story | Arnold Schwarzenegger
This special enhanced edition of Total Recall includes over 150 photos with narration by Arnold Schwarzenegger along with video clips from his careers in bodybuilding, film, and politics. Arnold Schwarzeneggers story is unique, and uniquely entertaining, and he tells it brilliantly in Total Recall. He was born in a year of famine, in a small Austrian town, the son of an austere police chief. He dreamed of moving to America to become a bodybuilding champion and a movie star. By the age of twenty-one, he was living in Los Angeles and had been crowned Mr. Universe. Within five years, he had learned English and become the greatest bodybuilder in the world. Within ten years, he had earned his college degree and was a millionaire from his business enterprises in real estate, construction, and bodybuilding. He was also the winner of a Golden Globe Award for his debut as a dramatic actor in Stay Hungry. Within twenty years, he was the worlds biggest movie star, the husband of Maria Shriver, and an emerging Republican leader who was part of the Kennedy family. Thirty-six years after coming to America, the man once known by fellow bodybuilders as the Austrian Oak was elected governor of California, the seventh largest economy in the world. He led the state through a budget crisis, natural disasters, and political turmoil, working across party lines for a better environment, election reforms, new infrastructure to rebuild California, and bipartisan solutions. Until now, he has never told the full story of his life, including his greatest successes and his biggest failures, in his own voice. Here is Arnold, with total recall.

#jamminjune @Eggs #farfromhome Arnold definitely comes a long way when he comes to America in his early years. His accent used to be so thick his first movie roles were dubbed because no one could understand him!

Eggs He‘s one of a kind!! 4y

I decided to read this #biography recently.
It was written in a very comfortable and friendly way that invited the reader to follow along on his life story. Particularly, I enjoyed reading about his early life, his career in bodybuilding, his acting, and his involvement in politics. I did not really like reading about his businesses or personal life. It is a good book that anyone interested in the man will find enjoyable. 9 out of 10.

Great autobiography. Was expecting excuse making and his ego to make it objective but he takes responsibility for his mistakes.
