DESCRIPTION:
In this deeply-researched book, you'll find the most truthful portrait of the real Steve Jobs." — Marc Andreessen"Smart, accurate, informative, insightful and at times, utterly heartbreaking. After working with Steve for over 25 years, I feel this book captures with great insight the growth and complexity of a truly extraordinary person. I hope that it will be recognized as the definitive history.”—Ed Catmull, president, Disney Animation and Pixar"Steve Jobs is the person who most inspires the new generation of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs. “Becoming Steve Jobs is fantastic. Becoming Steve Jobs is going to be an essential reference for decades to come." &mdash

Their rich, compelling narrative is filled with stories never told before from the people who knew Jobs best, and who decided to open up to the authors, including his family, former inner circle executives, and top people at Apple, Pixar and Disney, most notably Tim Cook, Jony Ive, Eddy Cue, Ed Catmull, John Lasseter, Robert Iger and many others. Schlender and Tetzeli make clear that Jobs's astounding success at Apple was far more complicated than simply picking the right products: he became more patient, he learned to
"The 'unauthorized' Jobs biography that has earned the praise of those who knew him best (and fills in details not known before)" according to Phil (not) in Magnolia. This is a fascinating biography that I enjoyed very much, but before getting into the details of the book itself I want to quickly go back in time to when Steve Jobs died on October 5, 2011 (it's hard to believe that three and a half years have already gone by since that date). At that time, the Walter Isaacson biography (Steve Jobs) had already been written.Jobs had agreed to be interviewed by Isaacson over the course of the final two years of his life, and when Isaacson's biography of Jobs was published less than three weeks after his death, on October 2The 'unauthorized' Jobs biography that has earned the praise of those who knew him best (and fills in details not known before) Phil (not) in Magnolia This is a fascinating biography that I enjoyed very much, but before getting into the details of the book itself I want to quickly go back in time to when Steve Jobs died on October 5, 2011 (it's hard to believe that three and a half years have already gone by since that date).

"Great bookgreat learnings" according to Tony Sr. Great job on Jobs. The key difference here is the depth of his behavior and actionsshowing the evolution of maturity in a brilliant young man who was able to continuously learn his way into the skills, patience, and focus to pull off one of the great turnarounds and transformations of all time.As a book about Apple (a company many of us loved from the beginning) it is a good read. As a book about the power of learning to accomplish great things and to pull great people togetherit really is a must read and a must reflect. I have seen few books over the years that do such a comprehe. "A good exploration" according to Thomas Roberts. A decent biography of Steve Jobs. I enjoyed it much more than Walter Isaacson's wasted opportunity of a bio. Becoming Steve Jobs delves much deeper into Jobs' years at NeXT and Pixar, which a lot of books tend to gloss over (Isaacson barely devoted any pages to those topics!) Some new material is covered and the authors personal anecdotes are very interesting.The authors make some assertions about Jobs and his personal growth that they don't really back up with evidence. The book is also riddled with timeline mistakes or basic misunderstandings about Apple's technology. It also se
