Explore the Life and Career of Steve Jobs through Walter Isaacson’s Book "Steve Jobs"
One of the best-selling biographies worldwide, and described by The New Yorker as a "captivating book," "Steve Jobs" by Walter Isaacson offers a vivid account of the life and intense personality of a creative entrepreneur. Based on over forty interviews with Steve Jobs conducted over two years, along with more than 100 interviews with family, friends, rivals, and colleagues, Isaacson has crafted a compelling story about the ups and downs of Jobs' life and his fierce character.
Steve Jobs is the ultimate symbol of creativity and imagination applied in technology. He revolutionized six industries: personal computing, animated movies, music, phones, tablets, and digital publishing. At a time when America was searching for ways to maintain its innovative edge, Jobs stood as an irreplaceable role model.
Jobs did not ask for any control over what was written about him and encouraged people to speak honestly. He also candidly shared his thoughts about those who worked with and competed against him.
Jobs' friends, enemies, and colleagues provide a truthful perspective on his passion, perfectionism, obsession, artistry, and control in his work and creative products. His story is filled with lessons on innovation, character, leadership, and values.
The book "Steve Jobs" also inspired the film of the same name, featuring Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet, Seth Rogen, and Jeff Daniels, directed by Danny Boyle with a screenplay by Aaron Sorkin.
