About Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson
Based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing.
Amazon Customer Review: I have lost far too much sleep because of this book! What I like most is how accessible and human it makes Steve Jobs. On one hand, it would be easy to put Jobs on a pedestal due to his incredible accomplishments (really enough for several lifetimes). But this book doesn't let you get away with that. It shows the remarkable human he was -- and how he repeatedly reinvented himself over the decades. While at the same time, one gets a glimpse of how difficult, strange, and prickly he could be. Oddly, seeing Jobs as fully human makes his life even more inspiring, illustrating the value of belief in one's vision, persistence, and importance of surrounding oneself with people who "complete" you -- and how utterly essential it is to remain true to oneself and one's vision.
