Donald Trump Book

Tolstoy, Tennyson…Trump? Well, he may not be a prize-winning author, but sure enough Donald Trump is no stranger to the art of the book. Critics call them self-promotional and self-aggrandizing, but when have critics ever stood in the way of Donald Trump? Indeed, book after book that he churns out has proven to be a hit with consumers, topping best-seller lists around the nation.

In his first, this real estate mogul explores the subject he seems to love most – himself. “The Art of the Deal” is an autobiography that attempts to answer the question people the world-over have been asking him for years, “How did you become so successful?” Today, it has become one of the most successful business best-sellers of all time. It remained on the New York Times best-sellers list for numerous weeks and has sold over three million copies since its initial release.

The second one he wrote is called “Surviving at the Top,” and serves as a sequel to his first book. Again a New York Times best-seller, this book takes a look at how he has managed to stay at the top of his game over the years despite bankruptcy, divorce and being under the critical eye of the public. It was followed by his third, called “The Art of the Comeback.” This look at his rebound from near financial collapse received similar commercial success.

In 2000, Donald Trump published his fourth book, “The America We Deserve.” Shifting his focus away from the world of business, this book is Donald Trump’s take on the state of politics in the United States. He examines important social and economic problems plaguing the nation, shares his vision of the future, and – in typical Trump style - isn’t afraid to place blame where he sees fit.

In his fifth, “How To Get Rich: Big Deals from the Star of The Apprentice,” he returns to a topic he knows best – how to achieve success. From advising readers to “screw enemies back,” to poking fun at himself (“No animals have been harmed in the creation of my hairstyle”), the popularity of this book again landed him on best-seller lists across the country.

In addition to becoming a wildly popular television show host and an admired mogul in the world of real estate, Trump could now also be considered an accomplished author. He continued his foray into the literary world with the 2004 release of “The Way to the Top: The Best Business Advice I Ever Received” and “Think Like a Billionaire: Everything You Need to Know About Success, Real Estate, and Life”, 2005’s “Trump: The Best Golf Advice I Ever Received,” and the most recent “Why We Want You to be Rich: Two Men – One Message.”

In his latest book, Donald Trump claims “My policy is to learn from the past, focus on the present, and dream about the future.” Over the years, millions of people have purchased a book or five of Donald Trump’s in order to gain access to his business wisdom and advice, learning from his past to realize their own dreams.

Re: How important is your name? - [quote="BuzzAroundBooks":19d1cpro] For instance, Donald Trump built his company's brand around his name, so he probably naturally wanted to call his son Donald Trump Jr. to continue the legacy.[/quote:19d1cpro] I wonder if it is a good thing to call one's son Jr.... or the third, or the fourth. On the one hand, it implies a long legacy of family achievement, but on the other hand, some kids really resent the pressure put on them by being the son of a famous father, and daughters of a famous mother, so it's really hard to say. Indeed, it would be intersting to have a survey of every successsful child of a successful parent, to see if those who are a "Jr." are more successful than those who were given their own name.
Trump's Favourite Books - In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Donald Trump said he enjoyed reading biographies: "I like to read about philosophers - particularly Socrates, who emphasizes you should follow the convictions of your own conscience, which basically means thinking for yourself, a philosophy I tend to agree with." Just an interesting factoid...So, even Trump looks to those who came before him for strategies of success!
Book review: We Got Fired: And its the best thing that ever - Book review: We Got Fired: And its the best thing that ever happened to us Edited by Harvey McKay. Featuring - in microcosm - the business life stories about 30 CEOS (too many names for me to mention here), but politicians, football coaches, and business people such as Donald Trump, Lou Holtz and Bill Bellichek, etc. Each chapter is an interview with one of these individuals, telling why they were "fired" and how they then moved on to something else and made a success of that. The main thing to take away from the book is that, even if you as an entrepreneur have to "fire yourself" from one job, take that as a reason to go into a different field and make a success of that, as it can and has been done.
Trump and Stewart - I really enjoyed Trump: The Art of the Deal and The Martha Rules. I think the best advice you can get is from people who have made it and not just consultants who haven't been there. Evan's site is great because of all the famous entrepreneurs and their advice directly from them. Donald Trump and Martha Stewart are 2 great examples of successful entrepreneurs and the books are written in their own words which I find extremely valuable and motivational.
How Reliable is Alexa? - Thanks Carson - how reliable to do you find Alexa? Is it accurate? I know evan's site gets a lot of traffic because he has great writers like Donald Trump but how do we know that it's really 77,804 (way more popular than mine!) of all the websites out there? who makes the decision on the rankings?
