He actively competed until his retirement in 1971 after winning the Mr. Universe one last time, over Reg Park and Sergio Oliva.He is the author of the popular exercise book, Getting Stronger. His book Keys To The Inner Universe, is still to this day considered to be a bodybuilding "must have." It contains 1,500 weight-training exercises and weighs five pounds. Bill had his own monthly question-and-answer column called "Pearl of the Universe" in the bodybuilding magazine MuscleMag International. In 2003 with coauthor Kim Shott, Bill published his autobiography, Beyond the Universe: The Bill Pearl Story.Pearl became a vegetarian at age 39 and is the best known vegetarian bodybuilder.
