Arnold Schwarzenegger: Be Useful (2023, Penguin Publishing Group) 4 stars

Amusing & Motivational

3 stars

Arnold's writing is fun and motivational. It was filled with enough experiences from his fascination career for me to get through the book and enjoy it. Having said that the advice can be boiled down to, set goals, don't waste time with things that are not that goal and work hard every hour of the day to achieve them.

Rory Stewart: Politics on the Edge (2023, Penguin Random House) 5 stars

A searing insider's account of ten extraordinary years in Parliament from Rory Stewart, former Cabinet …

Intresting recount of Rory's experience as an MP and minister

4 stars

You don't have to have any particuar politic leaning to find this recount of Rory's time as an MP intresting.

He describes a deeply disfunction system which has not moved with the times.

Given that this is memoir this might be an unfair criticism, but my only complaint is that its a little longer than it needs to convey the messages it wants to convey.
