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. Part memoir and part business-advice book, it details Trump’s time-tested primary business and negotiation strategy, and his guidelines for success. This book shows Trump in action—how he runs his organization and how he runs his life. It lays out his professional and personal worldview in this classic work—a firsthand account of the rise of America’s foremost deal-maker.

  • The book talks about Trump's childhood in Jamaica Estates, Queens.

  • It also includes his work on building The Trump Organization, his actions and thoughts in developing the Grand Hyatt Hotel and Trump Tower, in renovating Wollman Rink, and regarding other projects.

  • The book also contains an 11-step formula for business success, inspired by Norman Vincent Peale's The Power of Positive Thinking.

  • 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
