Trump: Think Like a Billionaire: Everything You Need to Know about Success, Real Estate, and Life

Trump's books, all of them, are very lavish and quite self indulgent, people don't sometimes like this form of writing and some call Trump "arrogant" or "self involved" but if you wish to fully understand these books, you have to already accept that Mr. Trump is the best in his league, his "arrogant" attitude is really just confidence, and his "self involved attitude" is just someone who is confident enough to know they are good - it all seems fair to me!

This book, Think Like A Billionaire, is a good place to start if you wish to read about Donald Trump - the books are not, as some think, boring page after page of useless business advice, and others claim the books to be low on advice, but this book is a geat combination of two things - Trumps sound advice, that is practical and makes sense, and a keyhole peep into the life that being a Billionaire is like.

The books has a lot of content in it, spanning from property advice to style advice (luckily though, none about hair!) from a billionaires point of view. The book is very interesting and makes you really want to just live like Trump can afford to.

Imagine if you will, a combination of a Jackie Collins novel and a university Business book, and you get where Trump is coming from, its a medium between a lavish lifestyle and a ruthless and highly talented business man.

Overall, I wont fault the book, it doesnt deserve anything less than 5 stars because before entering into reading about Trump, you have to know what the guy is like, he is confident and very honest, what more do you need from a book!

Dont rely on it if parhaps, your trying to get a 1st in Business, its not a textbook, more of a guidebook into what could lie ahead if you follow the advice at the start of each chapter.

An exiting and motivating read from Trump, and he really is someone who knows what they are talking about!

If like me you are looking for some sort of inspiration on business, real estate or the like, don't bother looking in here. This book is lacking in any real content. It was more of a product endorsement for anything from his favourite cars to his favourite ice cream. To show how useful this book was to me, I think the most worthwhile advice I got out of it is that unless you have a peculiarly shaped body, you don't need tailor made suits... Duh!
Everything else is common sense and doesn't take a genius to figure out. Sorry Mr Trump, I'm a big fan of yours but this is a let down. My copy would be going on Ebay with no reserve.
