Paper Summary:

This is a review of Donald Trump's book "Think Like a Billionaire" - a self-help guide that is intended to help readers change their life for the better. The paper explains that although the majority of the book begins with 'How To...', each chapter never lasts long enough to completely provide an understanding of the actions one is to undertake and can leave readers disappointed.

From the Paper:

"In his guide to riches that sometimes reads more like a contemporary social magazine, Donald Trump presents his life as one possible of replication. He argues that if one mimics his consciousness of success, they too can expect all the bounties that wealth provides. Unfortunately for many readers, his attempt for down-to-earth literary style comes across as being judgmental and ruthless, hinting on the more private characteristics of the self-made billionaire. Trumps' attempt to create a manual for changing the way regular people think about money, real estate and business is idealistic, however, it lacks clarification on process and implementation, focusing only on the end result. Many readers will most likely feel disappointed that thinking like this billionaire may not get them to where he currently is."
