5.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting & motivational from the King of NYC real estate, 3 Oct 2005
By A Customer
If like me, you knew who Donald Trump was, but it was the TV reality show "The Apprentice" that really brought him to my attention, then this book is the perfect place to begin....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!
