Book Review: How to Get Rich by Donald Trump

 

How to Get Rich is a 2004 non-fiction book by Donald Trump and Meredith McIver. It is a collection of Trump's advice on how to succeed in business and achieve financial wealth.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part covers Trump's personal philosophy of success, which he calls "The Trump Way." The second part focuses on specific business strategies, such as how to negotiate a deal or how to invest in real estate. The third part is a collection of success stories from Trump's own life and the lives of other successful people.

Overall, How to Get Rich is a well-written and informative book. Trump is a master at self-promotion, and he does not shy away from sharing his own personal experiences and anecdotes. However, he also provides some valuable insights into business and success.

Here are some of the things I liked most about the book:

• Trump's writing style is clear and engaging.
• He provides many personal examples and anecdotes to illustrate his points.
• He is not afraid to share his own failures as well as his successes.
• He offers some valuable advice on business and success.

Here are a few things I didn't like as much:

• The book is a bit repetitive at times.
• Trump can be a bit self-aggrandizing.
• Some of his advice is not very realistic for most people.

Overall, I would recommend How to Get Rich to anyone who is interested in learning more about business and success. It is a well-written and informative book, even if some of Trump's advice is not very realistic.

However, it is important to note that Trump himself has been involved in several bankruptcies and has been accused of fraud and other unethical business practices. Therefore, readers should take his advice with a grain of salt.
