From the global icon and number one New York Times-bestselling author of Be Useful, a candid and practical set of lessons for building a flywheel for endless growth and deepening purpose

Success is not an outcome; it’s a way of being. Arnold Schwarzenegger learned long ago that joy does not come from making it to the winner’s circle, and that’s not entirely in our control anyway. Happiness comes from the work it takes to get there. It comes from what we do when we’re hungry, not when we’re full. Happiness is about today.

In Better Every Day, Arnold shares what he’s learned about the path of continual improvement. It starts with simply beginning—the small steps that lead to momentum, the foundation for everything that follows. From there, 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 indestructible engine of success. Better Every Day breaks it down into twelve building blocks; they can be thought of as steps on a twelve-month journey, but the time span is flexible. These are universal 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.  Now the goal is to help people achieve a growth mindset, bring them back into balance, and help them to flourish. There has never been a best that didn’t start with better. Better starts today.
