About the book “Steve Jobs. Biography". The True Story of a Genius Walter Isaacson

Book “Steve Jobs. Biography" caused a lot of thoughts in me, primarily because I had never read such lengthy biographies before. I want to say right away that I have never had a passionate desire to buy myself an iPhone, iPod, iPad or any other gadget with a logo in the shape of a bitten apple. I did not understand the general euphoria regarding the appearance of a new model of Apple device. Therefore, I guarantee that I am writing a review of the book “Steve Jobs” without rose-colored glasses.

You may ask why I needed to read the biography of Steve Jobs if I am not a fan Apple technology? Everything is very simple: this man, be that as it may, really made a large-scale revolution in digital world. I was very interested in how he managed this, and in general, what it’s like to have innovative thinking, to actually predict the future.

Walter Isaacson was able to tell the story of Jobs' life in a very interesting and, for me, even more important, truthful way. Yes, geniuses are characterized by strange behavior; sometimes it can be very difficult to be with them, especially to those closest to them. It was the same with Steve: his changeable moods, ruthlessness on the path to perfection, coldness towards his daughters or ability to offend a worthy employee - all this made him more of a technical tyrant than a master creator.

I really liked that Steve put quality of work above all else. The fact that he himself could be proud of his product was the highest reward for him. And for Jobs, unlike many of his competitors, it was important first of all to create perfection, and not to sell poorly made consumer goods.

Yes, I don’t argue, sometimes Jobs went too far in his desire to control absolutely everything. However, this did not stop him from creating high-quality and more modern computers, tablets, phones and players. Perhaps not everyone liked it - but that was Steve's character.

Walter Isaacson very well noted that Jobs may have developed a desire to be first in everything after he learned the story of his adoption. The fact that his parents abandoned him at one time only made him stronger. Although this is also the merit of the father who raised him: it was Paul Jobs who taught his son to be neat and perfectionist, showing that every detail in a product is important. It seems to me that he taught Steve to really love his job.

Perhaps Walter Isaacson's book Steve Jobs. Biography" will ever become part of . I sincerely believe in this. In general, I recommend it to anyone who would like to become as successful and talented a businessman as Steve Jobs.

Quotes from the book “Steve Jobs. Biography". The True Story of a Genius Walter Isaacson

"The problem for Apple is that they're still trying to sell caviar in a world where everyone's happy with a cracker and cheese."

Praise be to the madmen. To the rebels. Troublemakers. To the losers. To those who are always inappropriate and out of place. For those who see the world differently. They don't follow the rules. They laugh at the norms. You can quote them, argue with them, glorify or curse them. But just ignoring them is impossible. After all, they bring change. They push humanity forward. And let someone say: madmen, we say: geniuses. After all, only a madman believes that he is able to change the world - and therefore changes it.

It seems to me that all religions are just different doors to the same house. Sometimes I believe this house exists, sometimes I don't.

Madmen, confident that they can change the world, actually change it.

“He who has finished being born begins to die.”

We did the impossible because we didn't know it was impossible.

Remembering death is the best way I know of to avoid the trap that the idea of ​​having something to lose puts you in. You're already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

If you want to live your life creatively, like an artist, you shouldn't look back often. You must be willing to throw away everything you have achieved and who you have become.

Nowadays there is a temptation to believe that all projects can be developed in emails and chats. But this is crazy. Ideas are born in chance meetings and outside conversations. You bump into someone, ask how they’re doing, get excited, and soon you’re bubbling with a million ideas.
