Review of: "Women Who Work: Rewriting the Rules for Success" a book by Ivanka Trump.

* New thinking for a NEW you!

1. Be born into a wealthy family. Otherwise, stop reading my book now.

2. See Rule number 1.

3. Consolidate your wealth by marrying into more wealth. Otherwise, stop reading my book now.

4. See Rules 1 and 3.

5. Have a full domestic staff - to include maids, cooks, nannies, drivers, and personal assistants. Otherwise, stop reading my book now.

6. See Rules 1, 3, and 5.

7. Being me is hard but I managed it by following Rules 1, 3, and 5.

* That's "New" in the sense that I am not so much recycling an idea as I am up-cycling it! And we should all strive to reuse the resources we have and turn what's old into something beautiful again! Something we can be proud of! Be Green - like Money!

Otherwise, stop reading my book now.

I'm 100% sure she didn't write it. She may have used a lot of the words in the book, but not in the order they appear.

Is there any person who would seriously buy that book? Where did she get the nerve to have it published? (No effort involved in that. It was likely done on the strength of her name and that's all).

I wouldn't be surprised if Trump hyped the book during government meetings.

like them, mostly self made individuals, so i think it will sell a few copies. But an awesome review.

I also think Trump Org. will buy the books by the caseload and place them in his various holdings, where members of foreign governments can take the hint to buy his daughter's book.

With a large markup, of course.

Note: A portion of Ivanka Trump's proceeds from this book will be donated to charities committed to empowering and educating women and girls.*

In recently released government financial disclosures it was revealed that the "author" and her husband possess a net worth of 740 million dollars and yet a mere portion of the profit from this book goes to charity?!?

For that fact alone this book deserves one lousy star.


https://www.amazon.com/Women-Who-Work-Rewriting-Success/dp/0735211329/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1493908421&sr=8-1&keywords=ivanka+trump+book

It looks like once again, a Trump is using the White House as a way to make money. A bunch of shameless grifters.
