Arnold Schwarzenegger is a tall-standing figure in Hollywood renowned for his portrayals as a strong and dynamic action hero, a clever comedian, and a bodybuilding legend. However, hidden from the eye is his ongoing battle, with a learning disability that has caused him to feel insecure and anxious in his early years. In his latest newsletter, Arnold Pump Club, he candidly shares the impact dyslexia had on his life and how he triumphed over it through unwavering determination and self-discipline.

Schwarzenegger highlights and motivates dyslexic people and all in general on how to get a hold of life in the new issue of his newsletter.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was filled with dread while recording his own audiobook

Schwarzenegger is a man of many talents, but reading is not one of them. “I’m a terrible reader,” admitted the 76-year-old in his latest newsletter. The actor finds it challenging to read aloud owing to his dyslexia. Thus, he felt a sense of dread when tasked with recording his audiobook for his latest publication, Be Useful. Typically, he relies on memorizing lines for movies and speeches, so the prospect of reading a 200-pages book within three days in a studio was his worst nightmare. The star was worried about mistakes and the possibility of embarrassing himself in front of the publisher and the listeners.

Nevertheless, he refused to let his fear hinder him from completing the task at hand. “I broke it into small pieces instead of trying to bite off more than I could chew,” said the star. He practiced consistently breaking down the task into small portions and sought assistance from his team. 

Following the newsletter’s publication, fans expressed their heartfelt thankfulness to the bodybuilding legend for being real and motivating people around the world.

The actor certainly makes people feel seen by being open about his challenges, but he doesn’t stop there. Instead, he takes the extra step by striving to make the world and its inhabitants better.
