Surprised to see this on a review list for property investors? Me too! It is listed by Niraj Shah as one of his favourites on the Property Tribes Essential reading list. Although not a book that would have immediately come to my mind in considering inspirational and educational titles for property investing, one cannot deny that Arnold Schwarzenegger has had an interesting and varied life.

Something of a rags to riches tale, Total Recall is Arnie’s story from an impoverished start in Austria to governor of California via bodybuilding championship and, of course, Hollywood. And if you read Niraj’s comment below, you might get an idea of why it could be worth reading this book.

Niraj Shah’s #4 book in the Property Tribes Essential Property Book List: “I like reading biographies of successful people and entrepreneurs. Arnie has achieved incredibly [in] 3 fields: bodybuilding, acting and politics. Not bad for a kid from a war-torn Austrian village, but a lot of people don’t realise he’s also one of us – his first million dollars came from real estate development and he is still active in property.”
