Trump: The Way to the Top: The Best Business Advice I Ever Received

Book Description

The host of the hit reality show The Apprentice presents an invaluable collection of grounded, hard-hitting advice on business success, from people who have made it to the boss’s chair at some of America’s most thriving companies.

How can you find the way to the top?

Ask people who are already there.

Because you can’t know it all. No matter how smart you are, no matter how comprehensive your education, no matter how wide-ranging your business experience, there’s simply no way to acquire all the wisdom you need to make your business flourish. You need to learn from those who have blazed a trail before you.

Donald Trump has asked many of the brightest, most successful businesspeople he knows—and some he doesn't know—to answer this question: What's the best business advice you ever received? The result is a compelling resource of wisdom and wit that reveals how some of the most accomplished people conduct their personal and business affairs, giving an inside look into the secrets of corporate success. But the advice doesn’t only come from the upper echelons of the Fortune 500. Thoughts poured in from executives at thriving companies large and small, ranging from well-known icons such as Staples, American Airlines, Lillian Vernon, and Boeing to family-run operations like Orleans Homebuilders and Carlson Companies.

The Way to the Top brings together the core ideas that have guided more than 150 of today’s top businesspeople, offering a range of inspiring and practical advice on making good decisions, conducting yourself appropriately, developing your career, communicating with others, leading a team effectively, and much more. Some of the entries are simple entreaties, some portray intriguing vignettes, and others outline lists of guiding principles; all are illuminating, instructive, and insightful.

A telling to-do list for the aspiring professional, The Way to the Top belongs on every business bookshelf.

Pales by comparison.......2007-09-03

Disappointing only when compared to his other books. Not really pearls from Donald Trump himself, but rather it is advice from a number of other successfull people compiled into a "coffee table" format. That aside, most of the advice was helpful, but much was repetitious. But then most achievers have the same traits, don't they? It's just that Mr. Trump has all of these (which he onlys mentions once), and then so many more.

The "so many more" are revealed in his other books like "How to get Rich" and "Think Like a Billionaire". One interesting aspect of his writing is how he matures from "The Art of the Deal" forward. He readily acknowledges his mistakes and explains how he has learned from them. What always shines through is his indefatigable spirit of not ever giving up no matter how tough the going gets.

Disappointed.......2007-02-02

I read the book he co-authored with Robert Kiyosaki "Why we want you to be rich" and I liked it! So I decided to read some more of Trump, but without flicking through this book as I was catching a plane to Korea. I was disappointed as it is just a bunch of affirmations really. Sure.. good advice
from people who know how to get things done. But I was hoping to get more insights into investing.

Some good advice.......2006-07-13

The key word is "some". Most of the advice is commonsense or if you don't have any, I take it back. This book is just a compilation of advice from successful business contacts of Trump. Trump doesn't really offer any advice except a few lines in the introduction.

Best Advise that you have been told before........2006-03-02

249 pages of quotes, I bought the book online, save your money.
There are 100 better books to read, this is padding to The Donald's wallet.

Thanks.......2005-09-11

Not really an easy read. A lot of antidotal comments, and just a collection of valuable advice given by hundreds of powerful CEOs and other successful people. More of a reference book than anything.

To keep it short and simple, I think this book is a marvel for any anthropologist, archeologist, biologist, and student. It's an easy to use, very clear, and an amazing addition to any library for the serious student.

Book Description

The ability to interpret geologic maps is a necessary skill for anyone interested in the surface and shallow subsurface of the earth. They show students of earth materials and structural geology how surficial materials and bedrock are distributed and configured in three dimensions. Those interested in natural hazards can use them to deduce fault locations. They reveal excavation problems and locations of natural resources to civil and environmental engineers and land-use planners. Historical geologists and geomorphologists gain valuable insight from the clues that maps provide about the natural processes that shape an area. Geologic Maps serves all of those disciplines in addition to students in map interpretation and field geology courses. Spencer brings over 45 years of teaching experience to his step-by-step approach. He guides readers through the basics of map projections and content before discussing map interpretation using exercises taken from published geologic maps. He follows that with a presentation of geologic map preparation, giving map interpreters an appreciation of the level of precision represented by the data on geologic maps. Because of their widespread use in mapping, a short discussion of the use and interpretation of aerial photographs also is included.

Book Description

The subject of this book — intermolecular interactions — is as important in physics as in chemistry and molecular biology. Intermolecular interactions are responsible for the existence of liquids and solids in nature. They determine the physical and chemical properties of gases, liquids, and crystals, the stability of chemical complexes and biological compounds.

In the first two chapters of this book, the detailed qualitative description of different types of intermolecular forces at large, intermediate and short-range distances is presented. For the first time in the monographic literature, the temperature dependence of the dispersion forces is discussed, and it is shown that at finite temperatures the famous Casimir-Polder asymptotic formula is correct only at narrow distance range. The author has aimed to make the presentation understandable to a broad scope of readers without oversimplification. In Chapter 3, the methods of quantitative calculation of the intermolecular interactions are discussed and modern achievements are presented. This chapter should be helpful for scientists performing computer calculations of many-electron systems.

The last two chapters are devoted to the many-body effects and model potentials. More than 50 model potentials exploited for processing experimental data and computer simulation in different fields of physics, chemistry and molecular biology are represented. The widely used global optimisation methods: simulated annealing, diffusion equation method, basin-hopping algorithm, and genetic algorithm are described in detail.

Significant efforts have been made to present the book in a self-sufficient way for readers. All the necessary mathematical apparatus, including vector and tensor calculus and the elements of the group theory, as well as the main methods used for quantal calculation of many-electron systems are presented in the appendices.

Book Description

These eighteen essays (1879) by Eliot, George (1819-80) reveal her wisdom on matters ranging from plagiarism and self-deception to moral blindness, national consciousness and antipathies. Character studies and philosophical reflections offer the reader a veiled glimpse of Eliot's perception of her own character, as well as those of her friends.

Yet I have often been forced into the reflection that even the acquaintances who are as forgetful of my biography and tenets as they would be if I were a dead philosopher, are probably aware of certain points in me which may not be included in my most active suspicion.

Book Description

These eighteen essays were the last published work by George Eliot (a pseudonym for Mary Anne Evans, 1819-80). First published in 1879, they touch on topics ranging from plagiarism and self-deception to moral blindness and national consciousness. This book has often been overlooked, but it should not be. Eliot's great intellect and insight radiate from every page of this clever and provoking narrative, inspiring renewed respect.
