Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life

I really enjoyed the book. There were definitely a few parts that made me laugh out loud! There were also some very useful nuggets to take away. As accomplished as I may be, there's always room to do more and other ways to continue to be useful. I like the way Arnold transitions from being useful to yourself, to being useful for others. The beautiful part about this whole concept is it's still ultimately benefits the self. A win-win. This is one of my first audio books and I really enjoyed listening to Arnold's voice Read this to me. I felt like I was at a lecture watching and listening to him. I have a really busy schedule so the audiobook was perfect. I was able to consume it in small bites. As Arnold points out in his book, everybody has at least an hour a day to work out or work towards your vision. Even if I only found 25 minutes in the car on the way to work, I was able to listen to this book and think about other ways to be useful and achieve my next goal. Thank you Arnold!

this is the first audiobook I've ever purchased and listened to. It has been VERY inspirational and has already started to help me in life. The best part is Arnold reads the whole thing! I have been listening while at work, and it is almost like he is here hanging out with me since the whole book is him reading. I read review on other books, and they don't have the author reading, which is less genuine. I have already recommended this book to others even before I got halfway through listening to it. it would be nice if I could sit with him in person someday, share my goals and achieve goals, and then include how his book will help me achieve my next goals.

Arnold has such an encouraging and compassionate voice. As he mentions in the audio book, listening to the author read aloud to the listener, it creates a relationship between the two. This isn't a lecture to a grand audience from a professor. This is a heart to heart conversation between you and a simple man who simply wants you to be better.
