Steve Jobs

It really is a challenge to get go through opening pages of Walter Isaacson’s Steve Jobs without feeling melancholic. Jobs retired at the end of August and died about 6 weeks later. Now, just weeks after his death, you can open the book that bears his name and read about his youth, his promise, and his relentless press to succeed. Still the initial sadness in starting the book is soon replaced by something else, certainly the intensity of your read--mirroring the intensity of Jobs’s focus and vision for his products. Few in history have transformed their time like Steve Jobs, and maybe could conisder that he stands with the Fords, Edisons, and Gutenbergs around the world. This is usually a timely and completed portrait that pulls no punches to provide understanding of a man whose contradictions were in many ways his greatest strength. --Chris Schluep

THE EXCLUSIVE BIOGRAPHY OF STEVE JOBS.

Based on in excess of forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than a hundred individuals, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of a typical roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose love for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal desktops, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing.At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its innovative edge, and the date societies all over the world want to build digital-age economies, Jobs stands because the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination.

He knew that the most successful way to create value in the twenty-first century were to connect creativity with technology. Steve Jobs built a firm where leaps of your imagination were joined with remarkable feats of engineering. Although Jobs cooperated within this book, he requested no control over ideas presented written nor including the right to read it before it was published. He put nothing off-limits. Steve Jobs encouraged folks he knew to learn honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues offer an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his method to business and the innovative supplements that resulted.

Driven by demons, Jobs could drive those around him to fury and despair. But his personality and products were interrelated, merely as Apple’s hardware and software carried out be, as if a part of the system. His tale is instructive and cautionary, jam-packed with lessons about innovation, character, leadership, and values.
