Arnold Schwarzenegger not only inspires people with his own legendary life but also the wisdom that he gained in 76 years on earth. His newsletter, Arnold’s Pump Club, not only advises on fitness and nutrition but also about mental health. Sometimes he ventures into philosophy but even that is backed by scientific research and psychological research evidence.
This time he decided to talk about life and death. Seems like a grave topic right? Well, Arnie makes it easier for us to understand what it all means.

This time it’s a special newsletter because he listed the benefits of thinking about death and what to do when we are feeling a little bit under the weather emotionally. He also addressed the fact that no one is thinking about the end of their life when they are down but ironically that is exactly what people need to pick themselves up from their misery.
The bodybuilding champion stated in the newsletter, “That’s because thinking about death can help increase happiness, connection with others, and gratitude.” The Austrian Oak also suggested that a study in psychological science discovered that people who thought about their death were more empathetic and more likely to engage their time money and even their blood in living life. The researchers from Kentucky also found out that thinking about death could increase fulfillment in life.
Everyone is scared of it but confronting that thought process would help leave the type of life that will make someone proud. Maybe that is why Arnold himself could live a life that is grand. He also mentioned the philosophy of Memento Mori which helps someone appreciate the limited time that we all have on Earth and this makes it easier to appreciate the deals that we have.
Arnold ended the newsletter by explaining that the value of life and worth of it increases when someone thinks about it and that makes an individual make the most of their days even during hard times. He has also previously explained how getting out of bed would become easier if someone analyses what is going on in their mind.
