Book Reviews of Trump Never Give Up: How I Turned My Biggest Challenges into Success
Book Review: Consistent Persistence Exemplified
Summary: 5 Stars
Having read and enjoyed all of Trump's previous books, I knew that I was in for more Trump storytelling punctuated with lessons learned. I wasn't disappointed and you won't be unless you are one who will resent that the stories are about his personal triumphs.
Kudos to Trump's writer (Meredith McIver) who fashioned 41 vignettes into quick read stories all nicely illustrating the theme of persistence. And, did so in a way that has the feel of Trump telling you each of the stories in a one-on-one setting.
Be forewarned; this book is written in the new quick read style designed for an ADD world. Not a heavy tome, in the Bill Clinton style of writing, but an enjoyable quick read. Most importantly, the message of the importance of persistence resonates in a most effective way.
I debated, with myself, as to whether the book deserved 5 stars and decided that Trump deserves such for crafting a book that balances the thinking of the currently popular Law of Attraction authors with a mandate for consistent, persistent action as one of the keys to success. Readers looking for easy, quick success will not find it in this book. Trump has toiled long and hard to achieve his success and the essence of his advice is consistent with what has made him such a success.
Full, full disclosure: Having just last night watched The Donald and Gene Simmons go mano/mano in the boardroom on Celebrity Apprentice, I think Trump deserves this 5 star for being such a stand-up guy. Gene Simmons was 100% right, but so too was The Donald in firing the other superstar of his show. Neither Trump nor Simmons operate in a manner with which I am personally comfortable, but I do respect greatly their intellect, their stand-up style, and their success over an extended period.
