Interesting read about an interesting person.

More enjoyable than "The Art of the Deal" as the stories have a more personal touch to them. This book hallmarks Donald Trump of the early 1990s, and you really see the first inklings of his political aspirations. Or rather, insight into his thinking which brings forth the "self-help" aspect of his writings. Whereas "The Art of the Deal" was more of an autobiography, "Surviving at the Top" tones down that element and structures the stories around the theme of endurance, creating a richer subtext. Yes, the autobiographical stories are still present, but since there aren't as many, the reader can absorb the themes better.

Pretty interesting and entertaining read.

I think this is one of the best books i have ever read. I really became increasingly interested in Donald Trump after he declared he was running for president in the 2016 election. I have read several of his books, but this is by far one of his best.

I think this is a great read due to the fact that so many people for no reason hate Mr.Trump. I think you really need to read this book and get to know Donald. The way this book is edited is very good, keeping you on your toes throughout the whole book. Since this book is a biography you can relate to the events talked about in this book.

Im a firm believer that you should really investigate the presidential candidates, and by reading this book i have gained alot of respect and faith in Donald. I think this is one of my favorite books so far. Great read and I think you should read this book.

Moderately interesting second memoir from our current President. Interestingly, many of the planks for his political platform were already in their incubator stages, and are ideas Trump has been kicking around for some time.

If you like Trump, you’ll enjoy the book. The Resistance won’t change their mind, but those on the fence about 45 (there have to be a few) will appreciate the insight into a younger The Donald.

Pretty obnoxious overall... Only interesting parts are his comments on toughness, and, even better, his thoughts on alcohol. He talks about an article that was written as a "let's see what happened" to all the people who once were at the top of business, banking and other fields. Without exception, each one died poor, often in debt, their children suffered, and in many cases, they became victim to drug abuse. Trump does not drink, smoke, and - at the time of the book - never has even tried coffee. He seems more acutely aware of the dangers of substances than most people, and he is also more attune to human motivation than most people. This showed me that he often writes difficult rules for himself and sticks to them. I would not recommend this book - despite how interesting it is at times to read knowing that now he is the President.
