Steve Jobs By Walter Isaacson : Determined by greater than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years-as well as interviews with more than one hundred loved ones, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues-Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of the creative entrepreneur whose love for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing.
At any given time when America is seeking solutions to sustain its innovative edge, then when societies around the world making the effort to build digital-age economies, Jobs stands since the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew how the best way to create value inside the twenty-first century would have been to connect creativity with technology. He built an organization where leaps in the imagination were coupled with remarkable feats of engineering.
Although Jobs cooperated using this book, he asked for no treating that which was written nor even to make out the print prior to being published. He put nothing off-limits. He encouraged the people he knew to talk honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, in regards to the people he dealt with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished look at the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his method of business and also the innovative products that resulted.
Driven by demons, Jobs could drive those around him to fury and despair. But his personality and merchandise were interrelated, just like Apple’s hardware and software were rather, as if portion of an integrated system. His tale is instructive and cautionary, full of lessons about innovation, character, leadership, and values.
