USER REVIEWS
"I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Donald Trump's enthusiasm for life leaps off the page and is infectious. This is a man who loves his job his family and friends.
His secrets for success are passion and integrity. He lives his life fully, dreams big, and encourages his readers to go for life with gusto. He believes that everything matters; from the huge real estate deals to the right shade of trim in a room, it all matters. This high-powered businessman writes of "riding the waves" of daily experiences and staying present for all life has to offer.
Living life with honesty and integrity reminds me of Being Here: Modern Day Tales of Enlightenment by Ariel and Shya Kane. This powerful book is filled with
stories of wisdom and truth that are inspirational as well as practical. It's possible to live fully in the brilliance of the moment and have a magical life, instantaneously! Both of these books move me to live fully and embrace the gifts life has to offer."

"This is a good on the train type read. The relaxed style is easy to read and has a number of thoughts that get you thinking, also the themes are grouped thoughts rather than the shorter random bursts. Some of the themes are repeated from previous books and there is no week in the life which are often interesting reads. But the Q&A section at the back is good (and re enforces chapters in the book). If your looking for a first Trump read get Art of the Deal, before this good read."

"Donald Trump is not everyone's cup of tea and he doesn't pretend otherwise. This book pulls no punches and it contains advice that many people may find downright unpleasant. However, it is honest. It is an honest insight into what it takes to accumulate the kind of wealth Trump has. I'm not a huge fan of Trump but he's the billionaire and I'm not.
To paraphrase some of Trump's advice: "If someone screws you, screw them back ten times worse"; "Win-win is rubbish. The best deal is when I win and the other guy loses"; "It doesn't matter if they don't like you, make sure they respect you"; "Life is brutal. Your friends want what you have - and they're your friends. Imagine what your enemeis will do." You get the idea...
What I like about the book is that he doesn't sugar-coat the pill. He doesn't pretend to be something he's not; he doesn't pretend to be a billionaire friend of everyman. He's tough and he's in your face. And there is advice in there that was a real eye-opener and, yes, some of it was quite inspiring and made me look at how I run my own affairs. Make no mistake, it's not for everyone and not everyone wants to be Donald Trump (a part of me included) and that's fine.
Trump's approach is not the only way to make a lot of money but it is certainly an interesting insight into what it takes if you want to take his path."

"I never really knew anything about Donald Trump except that everyone said he was a horrible man. After watching The Apprentice I could kind of agree. But reading this book has changed my mind - he isn't a horrible man, he just doesn't take crap. He gets what he wants and doesn't let anyone walk over him - something that most people allow to happen all the time.
I love this book, it has hit the nail on the head with so many things - in work and in life. Some of his principles I already follow, and the rest I have started to adopt into my life - and to be honest after only a week I am feeling much more confident! Even if he's telling you stuff you already know, its nice to know that one of the most successful billionaires in the world thinks the same way. How can you go wrong?"

"The Trump says: "If the love dies, all you have left is a resentful ex-spouse and the marriage certificate. There's nothing worse than an ex-spouse with a ten-ton axe to grind, and no agreement on how your common property is to be divided....Always get a prenup".
I wish I read this book eleven years ago. Miss it at your peril. The Trump is always right."
