How to get Vain
Just finished this book and left thinking, wow this guy really, really loves himself. Rather than giving any insight into running his business it's all self promo with celeb name dropping galore and a celeb endorsement for every project he's done. It should be called "How to Trump your own horn." I'm sure this guy has a lot to offer, but he certainly didn't put it in this book. Very disappointing

Worth a shot
Worthwhile read with some good insight into some of Trumps ventures. A bit too 'backslappy' for my liking though, with a good chunk of book given up to name dropping who his pals are. Still overall a recommend if you are interested in the great man himself.

Not an instruction manual
Trump has created wealth for himself and his family twice. I say twice because he was almost bankrupt in the 1990s. While this book is not a step-by-step instructional manual on how to get rich, it is more about how Trump did it, how he thinks, what motivates him, and his personal stories. Not everyone has to follow the exact same path, but it helps to read how he's done it. Trump, just like Warren Buffett, stresses the importance of public speaking. Not very many people can do it, so if you master it, you will stand out. While this is not his best book, you probably will find it enjoyable.
