I've heard it's awful for learning about business, but good as an autobiography. Anything I should know going in? I'm not really a politics guy but a couple of my friends said I should read it to provide context for current events.I've also been reading some real business books as well, but I'm running short on non-grifter ones...
Half-way finished it. It does really connect with his persona and makes sense of it. You can tell he hasn't changed much. There are a couple of interesting things you'll notice if you followed his career into politics. So far, nothing mind-shattering though. It'll be a good read if you like politics or New York in the 1970s and 80s.Also, there were a lot of claims that Schwartz wrote the book. If that's true, he's done a good job, because the whole thing sounds like Trump speaking, down to the sentence structures and words used. Like too many autobiographies you feel it was mostly dictated.
>>24115510You sound like a massive faggot, I’d recommend to avoid this book as it would likely make your putrid self-inflected axe wound where your genitals used to be puss up.
>>24115582Looks like a rightiod got triggered! >>24115510The closest things I have to business books are "Readings in White-Collar Crime" by by David Shichor, Larry K. Gaines, Richard Ball and Them and Us: Cult Thinking and the Terrorist Threat by Dr. Arthur J. Deikman (there's a brief section on cult-like thinking within business).
>Say crazy shit like you're gonna annex Canada or invade Greenland to generate free hype and fuck the market up.
>>24115510RIP to OP's amazon recs
>>24115510Have you taken the for dummies pill?
It was ghost written, it's not an autobiography
>>24116387Holy fuck you're rightIs there any way to remove a purchase from the algo?
>>24115510It's actually good for learning about business because it is a primer for becoming a con artist 101.
>>24115510For the drawfags>A friend of mine, a highly successful and very well known painter, calls to say hello and to invite me to an opening. >I get a great kick out of this guy because, unlike some artists I’ve met, he’s totally unpretentious.>A few months back he invited me to come to his studio. We were standing around talking, when all of a sudden he said to me, “Do you want to see me earn twenty-five thousand dollars before lunch?” “Sure,” I said, having no idea what he meant. He picked up a large open bucket of paint and splashed some on a piece of canvas stretched on the floor. >Then he picked up another bucket, containing a different color, and splashed some of that on the canvas. He did this four times, and it took him perhaps two minutes. When he was done, he turned to me and said, “Well, that’s it. I’ve just earned twenty-five thousand dollars. Let’s go to lunch.”>He was smiling, but he was also absolutely serious. His point was that plenty of collectors wouldn’t know the difference between his two-minute art and the paintings he really cares about. They were just interested in buying his name.>I’ve always felt that a lot of modern art is a con, and that the most successful painters are often better salesmen and promoters than they are artists. I sometimes wonder what would happen if collectors knew what I knew about my friend’s work that afternoon. >The art world is so ridiculous that the revelation might even make his paintings more valuable! Not that my friend is about to risk finding out.
>>24116538Where did Daddy Trump hurt you?>>24115510Its nothing earth shattering. As someone in big boy real estate I'd recommend it as an early read, if you've been doing it for years like I have its stuff you just learn on your own.
>>24116558>As someone in big boy real estate
>>24116430My understanding was he dictated a lot of it.
