Based on more than forty interviews with Steve Jobs conducted over two years - as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues - this is the acclaimed, internationally bestselling biography of the ultimate icon of inventiveness. Walter Isaacson tells the story of the rollercoaster life and searingly intense personality of creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies,music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing.

Although Jobs cooperated with this book, he asked for no control over what was written, nor even the right to read it before it was published. He put nothing off limits. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against.

His friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and the innovative products that resulted.

Gênio

Difícil transcrever em palavras as emoções que este livro me causou. Não sou consumidora voraz dos produtos da Apple, e sou totalmente leiga nos assuntos técnicos.

Mas a liderança que Steve Jobs exercia definitivamente ficou marcada. Não que seja necessário copiá-la em todos os aspectos, mas pensar proativamente, apaixonar-se pelo trabalho e julgar sempre ser possível fazer o impossível deveriam ser tarefas domésticas, principalmente para governantes.

Difícil é aceitar que gênios como ele partam tão cedo.
