President-elect Donald J. Trump lays out his professional and personal worldview in this classic work—a firsthand account of the rise of America's foremost deal-maker.

"I like thinking big. I always have. To me it's very simple: If you're going to be thinking anyway, you might as well think big." —Donald J. Trump

Here is Trump in action—how he runs his organization and how he runs his life—as he meets the people he needs to meet, chats with family and friends, clashes with enemies, and challenges conventional thinking. But even a maverick plays by rules, and Trump has formulated time-tested guidelines for success. He isolates the common elements in his greatest accomplishments; he shatters myths; he names names, spells out the zeros, and fully reveals the deal-maker's art. And throughout, Trump talks—really talks—about how he does it. Trump: The Art of the Deal is an unguarded look at the mind of a brilliant entrepreneur—the ultimate read for anyone interested in the man behind the spotlight.

"Fascinating . . . wholly absorbing . . . conveys Trump's larger-than-life demeanor so vibrantly that the reader's attention is instantly and fully claimed." —Boston Herald

"A chatty, generous, chutzpa-filled autobiography." —New York Post

It was an amazing experience to read of Trump's early years, from the ground up. You'll learn a lot, and you'll have a great time reading along the way. The Wollman Rink and USFL stories were fun. He loves his country. Always has.

The Art of the Deal” by Donald J. Trump is a captivating and instructive book that delves into the world of business negotiations. From the outset, it becomes apparent that Trump’s style is brash and bold, which might not be everyone’s cup of tea. However, regardless of your political inclinations, the book offers valuable insights into deal-making and the art of negotiation.

Trump’s storytelling is engaging, and he shares numerous anecdotes from his personal experiences, allowing readers to gain a unique perspective on his approach to deal-making. His lessons are practical and can be applied to various situations, making it relevant not just for business professionals but also for those in everyday life who encounter negotiations regularly.

One of the strengths of the book is its focus on the importance of persistence and confidence during negotiations. Trump advocates for staying firm on your objectives and knowing when to walk away if the terms are not favorable. This tenacity can be both inspiring and empowering for readers looking to enhance their negotiation skills.

However, some readers might find aspects of the book controversial or question its ethical implications. Trump’s unapologetic approach and self-promotion may not resonate with everyone, leading some to feel skeptical about the advice presented. Additionally, the book was published in the 1980s, so some of the examples and strategies may feel dated in today’s fast-paced business landscape.

Overall, “The Art of the Deal” is a must-read for anyone interested in the world of negotiations and deal-making. While some aspects may not align with everyone’s values, the book offers valuable insights and valuable takeaways for those willing to look beyond the controversial aspects and focus on the practical advice shared within its pages.

5.0 out of 5 stars A review on the presentation method of this book versus similar others.
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2016

Although dated (explores vignettes from the 1980s), it is a classic for one reason: it doesn't just list the ways to negotiate in steps or easily-remembered "bullet points", but instead details several complete transactions from Donald Trump in negotiating with everyone from the tenants of a building that wanted to maintain their rent-controlled units, to dealing with Mayor Ed Koch, the building inspectors, other real estate moguls, the New Jersey gaming commission, etc. In the classic "show, don't tell", Trump permits the reader to glean the tips of negotiation, rather than hitting us on the head with them, as would most books.

The advice is practical and real, unlike "cheerleaders" such as Oprah, Tony Robbins, etc. who dispense nothing but pie-in-the-sky platitudes and "life goals" that translate to reality about as well as the mat- and mirrors-practiced mechanics of a karate instructor translates to a gang of teens holding a knife to one's neck; it looks good in the strip-mall "dojo", but in a dark alley, not so much.

While Stephen Covey lists "habits", and gives small examples of each, Trump has opted to give a few large examples, going on for about 20 pages each, and looking at his thought process on each step of the real estate and gaming deal. He studies each situation from all angles and, particularly as this was earlier in his career, shows a humble side not seen in his current incarnation; it is not a stretch to say that, financially, he stuck his neck out on the line for some of the deals in this book, such as buying the schleppy Barbizon hotel in NYC. One of the great lessons of the book, frankly, is how to leverage negotiating power without overly, or too early in the process, committing personal capital; limit downside risk.

Fortunately, the writing is clean, easy to follow, and smooth as the ice rink that Trump aided NYC in constructing, on time and on budget. It is a well-written book (and I'm picky as hell about writing style)

An added bonus is that, for the most part, Trump deals with each session ethically and morally. There is nothing grotesquely underhanded about any of the dealings here, and, in fact, Trump outlines several players in the NYC real estate game who are ethical and honest, such as the founder of Tiffany's. It's a pleasure to read of the attitude of others, and the power of a handshake.

Recommended.

When I read this book, I could hardly put it down and finished the entire book in 5 days. It's so fascinating and sweet to read about Trump's life back in the 1980s in New York, how he constructed deals and how he was aggressively patient when investing in an asset. He has outlined very simple yet important rules for his success. One that stuck with me was, 'If you take care of the downside, the upside will take care of itself.' There are many golden nuggets to be found in the book. Highly recommended.
