Product Description

Product Description

Fortune magazine proclaimed Jobs ‘the CEO of the decade’. Harvard Business Review called him ‘the world’s best-performing CEO’. And the Wall Street Journal praised him as a ‘Person of the Decade’. The longtime CEO of Apple, Inc., which he co-founded in 1976, Steve Jobs stepped down from that role in August 2011, bringing an end to one of the greatest, most transformative business careers in history. Over the years, Jobs has given countless interviews to the media, explaining what he calls ‘the vision thing’ — his unmatched ability to envision, and successfully bring to the marketplace, consumer products that people find simply irresistible. Drawn from more than three decades of media coverage — print, electronic, and online — this book serves up the best, most thought-provoking insights spoken by Steve Jobs: more than two hundred quotations that are essential reading for everyone who seeks innovative solutions applicable to their business, regardless of size. It’s the perfect gift or reference item for everyone interested in this icon.

About the Author

George Beahm has written a number of literary-companion-style books on highprofile figures, such as Stephen King, J. K. Rowling, Patricia Cornwell and Philip Pullman.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as you might expect 28 Dec 2011
By S Hogg
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This smells of being a hastily put together cut and paste job.

I had come across most of the quotes before. If you have read any of the more detailed biographies of Jobs you won't find much new here.

Possibly worthwhile as a very basic starting point if you want something to dip into but don't fancy reading a full biography.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not quite what i was expecting 14 Jan 2012
By Dave Lee
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I probably didn't read the description too well before I bought this, but I was expecting a biography of some kind. It's actually a collection of quotes and bullet points in history around Steve Jobs and Apple. Interesting but not really a "good read".

Just a bunch of clippings, waste of money. You could find as much and more interesting info on Wikipedia And that's free.

Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. &quote;

When you first start off trying to solve a problem, the first solutions you come up with are very complex, and most people stop there. But if you keep going, and live with the problem and peel more layers of the onion off, you can oftentimes arrive at some very elegant and simple solutions. &quote;
