Trump 101: The Way to Success is a book credited to Donald Trump and written by ghostwriter Meredith McIver. The first edition was published in hardcover format by Wiley in 2006. The book contains twenty-four chapters imparting advice on business acumen with quotations included from Trump.[1] The authors caution the reader about the inherent risks seen in business deals,[2] and advise individuals to promptly deal with conflicts.[3] Trump recommends other books including The Art of War and The Power of Positive Thinking,[4][5][6] as well as his company Trump University.[7]

Trump discussed the writing process for Trump 101 in a deposition during his lawsuit against The New York Times journalist Timothy O'Brien regarding his work about Trump, TrumpNation.[8][9][10] When questioned under oath by a lawyer, Trump asserted he had been unaware of mistakes his ghostwriter made about his debt in Trump 101, because he had read the book "very quickly" before publication.[8][9][10]

Booklist acknowledged the work served a public relations function for Trump, and concluded it contained some useful advice.[1] Other reviews pointed out quotes from the book which were seen as sexist.
