Arnold Schwarzenegger Announces Book Tour, Signing For Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life

The excitement is building as we anticipate one of the year's most awaited events! Famed actor and former California governor, the legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger is set to break his typical silence by making a special appearance at a Live Talks Los Angeles event in October, preceded by two engagements in London. Given the rarity of such an occasion, there's abuzz that this may herald the commencement of a broader book tour.

In comparison to other chances where fans shelled out as much as $1,250 to meet the acclaimed Hollywood star, Arnold Schwarzenegger himself, this remarkable opportunity is a steal, with tickets starting at a mere $45. Be aware that at such a budget-friendly price, tickets are bound to fly off the virtual shelf, so act promptly!

Arnold’s New Book “Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life”

At this one-of-a-kind gathering, Arnold Schwarzenegger will delve into the themes of his newest book, 'Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life.' Drawing on his life's trajectory from austere beginnings in Austria to global fame, he lays out seven guiding principles as a path to success and fulfillment. Pre-orders are currently open, and, in a rare gesture, Schwarzenegger has pledged to personally autograph tens of thousands of copies for his fans.

Experience Arnold Schwarzenegger Live in Person

Early october tour dates.

The tour is set to span multiple cities across North America, offering fans a unique opportunity to engage with the Hollywood legend, politician, and author. Each event is unique, ranging from in-person conversations to online hangouts, and takes place in various venues including bookstores, malls, and even online platforms.

To amplify the excitement and engagement around this tour, Arnold has encouraged fans to use specific hashtags for each event. These hashtags serve as a digital rallying point, allowing fans to share their experiences and follow along with others who are attending the events. Below is a comprehensive table detailing the tour dates, venues, and what attendees can expect.

L!ive Talks Los Angeles

The in-person event promises not just to be an ordinary book signing but an exceptional experience, much like Arnold’s previous “Total Recall Book Tour.” Ticket holders will get an opportunity to hear Arnold’s insights and experiences first-hand and might even get a chance to meet the legend in person.

Building on the success of his previous tours, where fans had the chance to interact with him on social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram, this event offers a more intimate setting. Arnold has always been keen on audience interaction, and this event is no exception.

Face masks are recommended, and the auditorium offers free parking. Tickets also include the opportunity to watch the virtual event later on. This is similar to the “Total Recall Book Tour,” where fans could engage with Arnold online. Grab your tickets here .

Given Arnold’s history of fan engagement, don’t be surprised if there are last-minute surprises or special features announced. During the “Total Recall Book Tour,” fans had the chance to get to the front of the line through Twitter hashtags. Who knows what Arnold has in store this time!

Virtual Event Details

For those unable to attend the event in person, a virtual event will follow a few days later, providing the global audience a chance to hear from Arnold Schwarzenegger. This is a feature that was notably missing from the “Total Recall Book Tour,” making the “Be Useful” tour more accessible to fans worldwide.

The virtual event includes a signed copy of “Be Useful,” shipped to your US address. Moreover, you can watch the event on-demand for five days, till October 23. This feature allows for greater flexibility and ensures that you don’t miss out on this unique experience. Get your virtual event tickets here .

Considering the global reach of the “Total Recall Book Tour,” which had stops in the U.S., Canada, and Europe, the virtual event for the “Be Useful” tour is a welcome addition. It opens up the possibility for even more fans to connect with Arnold, regardless of their geographical location.

The Tour Continues in London

The book tour then travels across the Atlantic, with Arnold scheduled to appear at The London Palladium on October 24th and The Royal Albert Hall on October 25th. Fans in the UK will have the opportunity to hear Arnold’s life lessons and get a copy of his book with each ticket purchase. This international aspect of the tour is in line with Arnold’s previous “Total Recall Book Tour,” which also had international stops.

Access information for attendees is available on the venue websites:

• The London Palladium
• The Royal Albert Hall, London

The “Be Useful” book tour is more than a promotional event; it’s an opportunity to learn from Arnold Schwarzenegger’s life experiences and how he applied the principle of “be useful” to achieve unparalleled success. This aligns with the essence of the “Total Recall Book Tour,” which was also more than just a book promotion. Both tours offer unique opportunities to engage with Arnold and learn from his vast experiences. Don’t miss out on this unique chance to be part of the tour and to get your copy of “Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life”.

Future Dates

While these are the only events announced so far, it has set tongues wagging about the possibility of a broader book tour. Schwarzenegger’s recent pledge to sign tens of thousands of books is a testament to his commitment to connecting with his fans. Given his global popularity and the anticipation surrounding his new book, a worldwide tour may well be in the cards. If so, this Live Talks Los Angeles event could be the beginning of a much larger endeavor, much like the “Total Recall Book Tour.”

In summary, while Arnold has authored many books before, this is an unprecedented opportunity for Arnold Schwarzenegger fans to see him in person or hear from him directly. His story of ceaseless reinvention and extraordinary achievements, encapsulated in “Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life,” promises to inspire readers worldwide. Don’t miss this chance to be a part of this unique experience.

Arnold Schwarzenegger inspires WA, tells crowd 'Don't waste an hour'

HOLLYWOOD icon Arnold Schwarzenegger kicked off his Australian speaking tour in Perth, saying taking risks is the key to success.

Millions set to be smashed by ‘washout’

Grim reality in state’s emergency rooms

‘Shrinkflation’ hits beloved chocolate bars

HOLLYWOOD icon Arnold Schwarzenegger kicked off his Australian speaking tour in front of 1000 fans at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre tonight.

About 200 guests attended a pre-show VIP function, where they had a photo with the star, at a cost of up to $995 each.

The former world champion body builder noted that many males wanting photos with him were "massive".

"They wanted to stand next to me to make sure they were bigger," he said.

"They were widening their shoulders and inhaling. They almost exploded."

Schwarzenegger joked that the short-cut rules to success include 22-inch biceps, killing predators with your bare hands and having an Austrian accent.

But he later spoke of more serious rules such as "ignoring the nay-sayers" and "working your ass off."

"If I had listened to the nay-sayers my career would have ended when I was 15 and I would still be yodelling in the Austrian Alps," he said.

He added that he doesn't waste a single hour of the day.

"The day is 24 hours," he said. "You sleep six hours. You need eight hours? Just sleep faster."

Schwarzenegger, who kept a love-child to his housekeeper a secret for almost ten years, said he finds risk attractive.

"I feel like I only have one life and I might as well use that life as much as I can," he said.

"Make it as spicy as I can and also as risky as I can with great rewards and also the risk of failure.

"And I have had my failures but I have a great time doing it this way".

He concluded his talk with his famous line "I'll be back".

Following the show, Schwarzenegger joined 16 West Australians who shelled out $10,000 each to dine with him.

West Coast Eagle Nic Naitanui was an invited guest at the dinner.

But not everyone was thrilled when the Hollywood star was ushered out of the room and left before the main meal was served.

One man, who said he paid thousands for the privilege of dining with Schwarzenegger, was thrilled that he met the Hollywood star, but less than impressed when he walked out of the dinner early.

"The food came out, there were about three questions asked, which he answered, and he walked out,'' the patron said.

"I don't think it was him, I think he might have liked to have had his dinner, his minders just scooped him up and he was out of there.

"There was one couple who had paid $20,000 for him and his wife to have dinner with Arnold Schwarzenegger and he didn't even stay for the meal.

"Half of the people just got up and walked off.

"I didn't stick around. I didn't even have my meal, I was home within an hour.

"His speech was brilliant, and he actually sat down to have dinner but he was scooped up and taken away. Dinner hadn't even come out.'' 

An unusual occurrence with Australia’s weather patterns is bringing grim conditions and it could last for far longer than expected.

Urgent care services are being rolled out statewide to meet the demand of 1.4 million semi-urgent and non-urgent emergency patients stuck waiting hours for help.

Food lovers have unleashed their fury over the ever-shrinking size of an iconic Australian chocolate bar.

Seven tools for life

Arnold Schwarzenegger

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

THE INSTANT NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER

The seven rules to follow to realise 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 instant number 1 Sunday Times bestseller, October 2023

About the author

Arnold Schwarzenegger is a global icon: a titan of public life, sports, and entertainment. An immigrant with few resources, except those that really mattered: a vision, a fire in the belly, and an undeniable charisma, his story is one of classic inspiration and the power of the American dream. He is known all over the globe for his many accomplishments: world-champion bodybuilder, Hollywood action hero, successful businessman, environmentalist, philanthropist, best-selling author, and California's 38th Governor.

This world-famous athlete and actor was born in Thal, Austria in 1947, and by the age of 20 was dominating the sport of competitive bodybuilding, becoming the youngest person ever to win the Mr. Universe title. With his sights set on Hollywood, he emigrated to America in 1968, and went on to win five Mr. Universe titles and seven Mr. Olympia titles before retiring to dedicate himself to acting. His big break came in 1982 when the sword and sorcery epic Conan the Barbarian hit box office gold, and in 1984, Schwarzenegger blew up the screen as the title character in James Cameron's sci-fi thriller, The Terminator. To date his films have grossed over $3 billion worldwide.

In 2003, Schwarzenegger became the 38th Governor of the State of California in a historic recall election, and as governor ushered in an era of innovative leadership and extraordinary public service. His legacy includes California's status as a world leader in renewable energy innovation, technological development and deployment, and he has been rewarded for his great leadership and vision many times over in many arenas, including the Simon Wiesenthal Center's "National Leadership Award" and the American Council On Renewable Energy's "Renewable Energy Leader of the Decade."

But it is Schwarzenegger's commitment to giving something back to his state and to his country through public service that gives him the most satisfaction; donating his time, energy, and personal finances to serving others all over the world. Schwarzenegger acts as Chairman of the After School All-Stars, a nationwide after-school program, and serves as coach and international torch bearer for Special Olympics. Since leaving office, also Schwarzenegger co-founded the R20 Regions of Climate Action, a global non-profit dedicated to helping subnational governments develop, implement, and communicate the importance of low-carbon and climate resilient projects as well as their economic benefits.

He’s likeable and straight-talking, while his views are refreshingly – and, in modern American politics, perhaps uniquely – sane.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Pledges to Sign Tens of Thousands of Copies of New Book Ahead of October Release Date

In a recent video, Arnold Schwarzenegger announced the upcoming release of his new book, “Be Useful,” set to hit the shelves on October 10, 2023. The Hollywood icon, former bodybuilder, and ex-governor of California shared his excitement about the project and promised to personally autograph tens of thousands of copies for fans who pre-order the book.

“Be Useful” is a collection of the seven rules that Schwarzenegger believes are essential for achieving success and realizing one’s true purpose in life. Drawing from his own experiences of constant reinvention and extraordinary accomplishments, Arnold aims to provide a guide for anyone seeking to make a meaningful impact on the world.

I already started autographing pages after pages, because the first tens of thousands of books will be personally autographed by me. That’s right. I’m sitting here every day, I do 300 every day—very very disciplined.

The video features Arnold discussing his inspiration for the book, recounting how his father’s advice to “be useful” guided him through the various stages of his life. From his humble beginnings in rural Austria to his meteoric rise as a bodybuilder, movie star, and eventually, a political leader, Schwarzenegger credits his relentless drive and the lessons he learned along the way for his success.

Never afraid of a big challenge, Arnold also promised fans that he would be promoting the book “all around the World” . We can only hope that he will be doing a global book tour and stopping by a local bookstore near you.

Pre-Orders for Schwarzenegger’s “Be Useful” are Live!

In addition to the video announcement, the book’s product page provides further details about the content of “Be Useful.” Written in Arnold’s distinctively candid and powerful voice, the book takes readers on an inspiring journey through the tools that have helped him lead a purposeful and impactful life. The book is filled with personal stories, including never-before-shared anecdotes of both triumphs and failures, demonstrating the resilience and adaptability that have defined Schwarzenegger’s life and career.

Recognizing that many people struggle to find their purpose and overcome self-pity, Arnold has distilled the lessons he learned throughout his life into a relatable and actionable guide for others. As he explains, “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.”

Fans eager to get their hands on a copy can pre-order “Be Useful” at beusefulbook.com . Arnold has committed to signing 300 copies every day leading up to the book’s release, showcasing his dedication to the project and his fans. The book is expected to be a worldwide success, with promotional events planned across the globe.

As Arnold Schwarzenegger embarks on this new chapter of his life, the release of “Be Useful” promises to inspire and motivate readers to find their own path to success and lead a life of purpose and fulfillment.

Signed Copies of Schwarzenegger’s Last Book Were Scarce

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s previous book, “Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story,” saw the release of limited signed copies, a stark contrast to his upcoming book “Be Useful,” for which he has pledged to sign tens of thousands of copies. Some autographed hardcover editions of “Total Recall” are still available for fans to purchase from Premiere Collectibles .

“Total Recall” provides a detailed account of Schwarzenegger’s incredible journey from his childhood in Austria to his rise as a global icon in bodybuilding, Hollywood, and politics. This intimate and revealing autobiography captures the essence of Arnold’s resilience and determination, which have become the hallmarks of his life and career.

Each signed copy comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring that buyers receive a genuine autographed edition of the book.

The sale of limited signed copies of “Total Recall” highlights the demand for Arnold Schwarzenegger’s personal touch on his works. With the upcoming release of “Be Useful” and the commitment to sign tens of thousands of copies, it is evident that Schwarzenegger is aware of his fans’ desires and aims to cater to their enthusiasm for his life story and wisdom.

The High Cost of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Autograph

The wide availability of signed copies of “Be Useful” will represent a sea change in the market for Arnold’s autograph. Private signings with Arnold Schwarzenegger are rare, making opportunities to get his graph few and far between. One such memorable occasion took place on October 27, 2018, when Arnold made his first-ever appearance at a comic convention – the Alamo City Comic Con (ACCC) in San Antonio, Texas. Fans eager to meet the iconic star could purchase the exclusive “Judgment Day” VIP package for $1,250, which included one photo op (for up to two people) and one autograph.

The event’s organizers later made an additional 500 photo ops available for individual sale, much to the disappointment of those who had already bought the VIP package. In an effort to appease these fans, Arnold agreed to sign two items per VIP pass instead of just one, as originally promised. However, this last-minute change left some scrambling to find a second item for him to sign.

Once the market is flooded with signed copies of “Be Useful”, the days of paying well over a grand for his autograph will be far behind us.

The hot news is that Arnold Schwarzenegger has had a special ring commissioned to be made for him,- a Limited Edition one of a kind piece of jewelry depicting the Terminator T-800 Endoskeleton Skull and we managed to speak the man who made it!

Anthony Troiano made the ring and we managed to ask him a few questions…

What is the ring made from?

The ring is made from Solid Sterling Silver. It is 5cm in length with two 2.5mm Red Ruby Eyes and weighs approx 140 grams.

What does it say on the back of the ring?

Arnold Schwarzenegger TERMINATOR Limited Edition 1 of 1

How long did it take to make the ring?

It has taken me approx three months to make. Arnold’s Terminator skull is Limited Edition 1 of 1 custom made only for him. I cannot issue any more rings for anyone other than Arnold.

This is the original classic Endoskeleton design right?

Yes, it is the classic T-800 skull design

The ring is amazing and TheTerminatorFans.com have total faith that Arnold Schwarzenegger will love it and finally; we should see him wearing this ring proudly on his hand at other Terminator events in the lead up to the worldwide releases of Terminator Genisys.

See inside Arnold Schwarzenegger's childhood home in Austria where he grew up without running water or electricity

• Arnold Schwarzenegger, who turns 76 on July 30, was born in Thal, Austria.
• His family's apartment overlooked a castle and farmland but had no running water or electricity.
• Schwarzenegger revisited the home in the 2023 Netflix docuseries "Arnold."

Arnold Schwarzenegger's incredible story — from bodybuilder to Hollywood actor to American politician — all began in Thal, Austria.

After his birth 76 years ago on July 30, 1947, he lived in a one-floor apartment that overlooked a castle and surrounding forests and farmlands in the village.

"It was absolutely beautiful," Schwarzenegger said in "Arnold," a 2023 Netflix docuseries about his life.

But it was also where he experienced a "tough" childhood at the hands of his "tyrant" father , who would beat him and his older brother, he said.

In the series, Schwarzenegger returns to Thal, his childhood home, and the bedroom where he first dreamed of becoming a star. Here's a closer look.

Schwarzenegger grew up in Thal, Austria. The village is just west of Graz, the country's second-biggest city after Vienna.

In "Arnold," Schwarzenegger called Thal "a beautiful, beautiful place."

The forest-covered hills of Thal were first settled in the 10th century . Today the village has a population of around 2,300 people.

It's a 20-minute drive from Graz. Schwarzenegger recalled how venturing to the city in 1961 was an eye-opening experience — it was there that he first saw a movie-theater poster for "Hercules," featuring bodybuilder Reg Park.

"I was in a trance," he said. 

He lived in an apartment in this 19th-century home from his birth in 1947 until 1966, when he left to pursue his bodybuilding dreams.

The home, which is surrounded by farmland, was built in the early 1800s. His family lived upstairs while the forest ranger lived downstairs, he said in "Arnold."

"We had a castle across the street built in the 1100s, so this was our playground," Schwarzenegger said. "So it was absolutely beautiful."

Schwarzenegger returned to the home for his Netflix docuseries, "Arnold."

"I always like coming back here," he said of Thal. "I think it's always good to stay in touch with your roots and where you come from." 

The home now operates as the Arnold Schwarzenegger Museum . Schwarzenegger gave his blessing to the project before it opened on his 64th birthday in July 2011.

He also revisited his old childhood bedroom. Its walls were adorned with photos of bodybuilders he aspired to emulate, like Reg Park.

While in his bedroom, he recalled dreaming of a life of bodybuilding, starring in movies, and making millions of dollars.

Today, the bed he used is still in the room.

The bed is in the corner of a large room that also features a closet and desk.

He shared the home with his mother Aurelia, father Gustav, and older brother Meinhard. Schwarzenegger called his childhood "tough."

In the docuseries, he revealed his father, who served as a member of the Nazi Party's paramilitary wing, the Sturmabteilung (SA), came home from World War II "suffering post-traumatic stress syndrome," Insider previously reported .

He called his father a "tyrant," and said he'd smack and beat his sons with belts and make them "compete against each other." Schwarzenegger said his father's behavior became worse when he drank.

Meinhard died in a car wreck in 1971, and their father died the following year. Aurelia died in 1998.

The home didn't have any running water or electricity, according to the BBC. Today, visitors can see its 1950s kitchen, and the home's original pit toilet.

There is also a washstand, alongside jugs that they used to collect water, the BBC reported.

He first started bodybuilding while living in the home and dreamed of moving to America.

Today, his original dumbbells and workout machine — a pulley with weights attached — are on display at the museum, the BBC reported.

"I would be working out in my house and there was no sound, nothing," Schwarzenegger said in "Arnold." "And I could think and concentrate and visualize how I'm going to become a bodybuilding champion, how I'm going to move to America, how I'm going to get in the movies, how I'm going to make millions of dollars."

The museum has memorabilia from the various stages of Schwarzenegger's life, from his blockbuster movies to his time as California governor.

There's a replica of his governor's desk in the museum, as well as a collection of his movie memorabilia, including a Harley Davidson motorbike from one of the Terminator films.

Outside the home is a large bronze statue depicting Schwarzenegger in the 3/4 back pose — a pose he made famous.

The bronze statue by sculptor Ralph Crawford was unveiled in 2011, when the museum opened to the public, according to its website.

Schwarzenegger left the home in 1966 to pursue his dream of becoming Mr. Universe, and the following year, at the age of 20, he became its youngest-ever winner . He would eventually leave Austria in 1968, at the age of 21.

Disclosure: Mathias Döpfner, CEO of Business Insider's parent company, Axel Springer, is a Netflix board member.
