Seven Tools for Life: Commitment to Giving Back

from The Unity Center · host Rev. Wendy Craig-Purcell

Arnold Schwarzenegger's book "Be Useful" presents seven life tools, with the seventh being a commitment to giving back. He challenges the idea of a "self-made man," emphasizing that everyone benefits from the support of others and has a responsibility to give back. Inspired by his father-in-law Sargent Shriver’s speech, he advocates for breaking the mirrors of self-absorption and focusing on helping others. This mindset, backed by scientific studies, leads to greater happiness and contentment. Giving back can take many forms, from volunteering to mentoring, and role models like Dolly Parton and Warren Buffet exemplify its impact. Ultimately, Schwarzenegger argues that true fulfillment comes from contributing to others' well-being, which in turn enhances one’s own life.
