 Another Classic Trump Book July 27, 2010
Kyle Healey
You know, you can read any guru self help book you want, hyped up the way they are, but you can't buy the advice from Donald Trump without getting a Trump book. His results speak for themselves, and he is my idol in this world full of business moguls.
Think Like a Champion is a better self help book then any "self help" book I've ever read...

 Mini-Book only June 14, 2010
D. Davis (Orlando, FL USA)
This is just a review of the particular version I ordered and Amazon's descriptions; it is not a review of the book. I purchased this expecting to receive the hardcover book I ordered. The mini-book arrived. Be careful when ordering from Amazon that you are ordering the correct version. I ordered the hardback edition without looking through all the fine print to find the "mini-book" publisher's name. The tiny mini-book arrived, which was not at all what I expected. I had to ship it back and pay for shipping, so basically lost money and still don't have the book I thought I ordered.
Absolutely a 5 stars book May 22, 2010

An excellent book; I enjoyed it tremendously. Here in Atlantic City area, I've heard some negative comments about Mr. Donald Trump during the years. However, I really don't know the facts, so I could not judge him by rumors. This book and a couple of his other books have won my respect. They are the great lessons for anyone who strives for professionalism and excellence. I whole heartily agree what he said in the book. I could feel that he puts his whole heart into the book, and really cares others to do well. I could also feel his passion for all his works from each line of this book.
During the years, I've been reading many books. This is a my very first and only book review I ever wrote because I appreciate Mr. Trump puts his spirit, his energy, and experiences into the words which help me immensely in one of the worst time in my life. I started a business consulting practice. Yet, I still haven't finding my true callings. "Think Like A Champion" "Think Big and Kiss Ass" "Trump 101" and "The Art of the Deal" have really been helping me to review my life, rethink, reshape and looking deep into my potentials. What he wrote are conformed by my good and bad experiences in the pass. I am sure that many readers have same feelings when read his books.
I am going to purchase all his books and a couple of more this book passing them to my friends who work so hard and demand to be successful. I think those books are the best gifts I can give to my friends. Thanks Donald.
50 Motivating Essays from Donald Trump May 9, 2010
Alain B. Burrese (Missoula, MT)

Love him or hate him, Donald Trump an many fronts has been extremely successful. While some say it's just because he got a good head start from his father, the truth is, Trump would not be where he's at, and would not have succeeded as he's done without many contributing factors. One such factor is his optimistic, positive charged, enthusiastic big thinking. If you want to model success, modeling the way Trump thinks is not a bad place to start. In his book "Think Like A Champion" written with Meredith McIver and starting with a Foreword by Robert Kiyosaki, Trump shares with readers what he calls an informal education in business and life. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the fifty essays in this book, and if you liked any of Trump's previous books, I'm sure you will really like this one.
The essays are mostly two to four pages long, with many being right around two and a half pages. So they are very easy to read. You could read the entire book through quickly, or just pick an essay or two a day. First, I found the essays very positive and uplifting. I think it would be difficult to read this book and not feel a bit motivated to pursue great accomplishments upon reading The Donald's advice and examples. However, I think the book goes beyond a motivational "vanity" piece. The essays really do have substance, and some very practical and sound advice on a variety of topics.
I also like that each essay has a quote at the heading. Trump mentions that he likes quotes, and so do I. The essay titled "Have the Right Mindset for the Job" has a quote by Henry Ford at the heading, "Don't find fault. Find a remedy." I'm using that quote in a conflict resolution program I'm teaching next week.
In one of the essays, Trump mentions how he likes to get right to the point. He does not have time for people that beat around the bush and don't succinctly tell him what they need. I felt he did the same with these essays. They are well written and make his point in just the right amount of space. Some of the fifty topics he covers include: Innovation, Strive for Wholeness, Wisdom, Think Like a Champion, Confronting Your Fears, Financial Literacy, Keep the Big Picture in Mind, Develop a Tempo When You're Working, Think Like a Genius, Set the Standard, and Building Your Reputation.
Again, I really enjoyed this book and felt Trump was writing thoughtfully and authentically. If you really think about what is contained in these essays and how you can apply the themes, strategies, and suggestions to your own life, I truly believe you will find they help you along your journey toward success. On top of that, they will motivate you to actually succeed in business and in life.

 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.
