    I'm kind of surprised to not see Arnold Schwarzenegger's biography "Total Recall" in that list. It was recommended to me by multiple sources as a must read for anyone who wants to become an entrepreneur. At first I thought it was an odd recommendation for entrepreneurs... But now that I am reading it I can see why it was recommended. His discipline, methods, and mindset are what made him a world champion body builder, an entrepreneur, an world renown actor and a governor. Either way I'm going to have to come back to this video for more biographies to read when I'm looking for a new book. Thanks for all you do and I hope you have a nice day :)

It tells the importance of having value, principles and vision in life that can change entire destiny of a nation and will be a true inspiration for entrepreneurs to be reluctant to quit from the dream and persevere until winning... sad this book seemed not important to be included in the list :(
