This book review is for Donald J. Trump’s, ‘The Art of the Deal’, a captivating and insightful book he collaborated with Tony Schwartz to write. He dives deep into the world of business, negotiation, and personal anecdotes that illustrate his journey as one of the most discussed figures in modern history.
You can only expect Donald Trump to be a go-getter and be arrogant while at it, which is part of what makes his perspective so unique and interesting. This book, which was published in 1987, provides a comprehensive insight into the current US president's life and how he managed to become an influential figure while navigating through all the controversy and challenges life has thrown his way over the years.
In the book, Trump allows us the chance to peek into his diary where he candidly talks about significant incidents like buying $25 million worth of stock in Holiday Inns, showcasing his boldness in investment decisions, as well as trying to grope Ivana’s private parts amidst lunch, revealing the complex personal dynamics that were at play. Nobody goes all out like Trump, and we see that distinctive trait highlighted in the pages of this book.
His story was marred with controversy, yet he somehow managed to turn every ounce of that controversy to his own benefit, demonstrating resilience and an uncanny ability to leverage public perception. He has lived largely and unapologetically, making decisions that often shocked the public, yet propelled him to success in many arenas.
I really appreciate how, amidst all the craziness surrounding his life, the book still manages to teach its readers practical lessons on how to make any deal successful. In fact, Trump shares how crucial the key to success in any business is the ability to balance courage with promotion, as well as to exercise caution, all while maintaining patience. This, combined with his love for handling complexities and challenges head-on, has certainly made him into the successful man that he is today, a figure many look up to and some criticize.
As you read this book, you will get to realize that for Trump, it was never just about the money. Instead, it was about facing those challenges and consistently winning out over obstacles, almost as if there was always a thrill in the act of winning itself—something that deep down, many entrepreneurs can relate to irrespective of industry.
He goes on to share some 11 noteworthy steps in the book that will impart you with invaluable knowledge and insights. One great thing about this book is that it’s incredibly encouraging. As you read each chapter, you will efficiently learn all the key elements that you require in making a deal or negotiating in any capacity.
I highly recommend this book to every young person who is looking to become a successful businessman or to anyone with an entrepreneurial spirit seeking to launch a startup. You will get all the encouragement that you need to succeed while learning how to close a deal like a seasoned professional. This book opens up a world of possibilities and empowers you to take charge of your professional journey.
