 A review of the unabridged audiobook February 23, 2010
Kawika (San Diego, CA United States)
First off, I enjoyed the reader. This was not read by the author, which is consistently my preference. I thought this audiobook lived up to its title. Has a lot of good advice, most of it is obvious. But, I enjoyed listening to it. I'll return it to the library tomorrow. The Donald isn't my hero by any measure. On the other hand, there's really nothing new here. You can browse the table of contents to see for yourself that there isn't much that you haven't already heard/read before. If you can find it at the library and listen to it on your commute, it's pretty good. Why not listen to something positive for a change? I will take Trump's advice about managing fear with me though. I would like to ask Donald, before he builds elaborate and beautiful waterfalls that pump 5K gals of h2o a minute, whether he takes into consideration that some people in other parts of the world need to travel miles just to get good drinking water. It just seems like an unnecessary waste of resources to me, and I think Mr Trump is able to figure out other beautiful structures that aren't as blatantly wasteful.
Very General but important February 5, 2010

The book keeps form with Mr. Trumps value for brevity in that it is concise, only 198 pages, but offers his valuable insight on an informal education on business and life from a seasoned entrepreneur.
Trump places a quote atop each chapter by such individuals as Albert Einstein, Aristotle, Henry Ford, Napoleon, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Abraham Lincoln, Socrates, Henry David Thoreau, etc. Some of the author's suggestions that I found valuable include:
"Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress, working together is success. - Henry Ford" (11).
"...a good way to handle difficult and even tragic times - to find blessing in the midst of adversity" (14).
"Never think of learning as being a burden or studying as being boring. It may require some discipline, but it can be an adventure" (17).
"The more you learn, the more you realize what you don't know" (35).
"As Jack Dempsey said, "A champion is someone who gets up when he can't" (39).
"I view my work as an art form" (43).
"Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world" - Ralph Waldo Emerson (51).
"Business is no place for stream of consciousness babbling, no matter how colorful you might think you are being. Whatever you're doing, keep it short, fast, and direct. (61)
"People appreciate brevity in today's world" (63).
"Don't find fault, find a remedy" - Henry Ford" (65).
"We are all businessmen and women, whether you see it that way yet or not. If you like art and can't make money at it, you eventually realize that everything is a business, even your art...I see my business as an art and so I work at it passionately." (86).
"Men are born to succeed, not fail. - Henry David Thoreau" (101).
"You can better your best at any time" (121).
"The important thing is not to stop questioning, curiosity has it's own reason for existing. - Albert Einstein" (131).
"Be sincere, be brief, be seated. - Franklin D. Roosevelt. Know your audience." (157).
"Build your reputation" (169).
"Diligence is the mother of good luck - Benjamin Franklin" (173).
The author guides the reader through a series of short and concise educational lessons that he has picked up along his business and life journey. Trump is a businessman but also an educator in this work, this book is a good resource for those wanting to advance themselves in business and life.

I don't care if Trump wrote this book for money or to be more famous. To me, the book title, "think like a champion" worths a million. I believe the title and the cover best represents what is inside the book. Trump tells you how much it is important to be determined in life and have your standards at high levels. Look at his eyes, how sharp they look and how focused he is. The reason I love Trump advices, stories and words is the feeling that I receive from them. There is at least 40 years of experience and a rock solid personality behind his words. I would highly recommend reading of this book, or if you don't have time to read many book, consider "Think Big and Kick Ass".
