Dealing with The Devil, My Mother, Trump and Me by Tony Schwartz

ogreart's review

3.0

Considering the title, I thought it would have more to do with Trump. Trump, however, plays a pretty small part overall in this book. Having shadowed Trump for 18 months while writing The Art of the Deal, Schwartz had some interesting insights into the man.

Not what I thought it was going to be. Trump played only a small part of the story - an inordinate amount of time was spent extolling the virtues of Schwartz's "Energy Project."

This book is not really about trump and I think the title was a terrible choice this book is good and I took a lot away from it but the name is an utter lie it seems tony is great at naming books but not great at connecting the title to the content of the book

Tony Schwartz ghost-wrote The Art of the Deal. His own memoir includes his biography, of course, and some discussion of his experiences with "The Donald." Schwartz is introspective in this memoir and it's not just a recounting of events that occurred in his life.

I've read that Schwartz feels remorse for his part in building Trump's persona, since that (fictional) persona aided in Trump's run for and election to the presidency.

This title is best recommended to those interested in a journalist's career and/or those who want to read everything that provides insights about Donald Trump.
