"Steve Jobs" by Walter Isaacson

While most people will definitely recognize Steve Jobs as being one of the greatest minds of our generation, they don’t really know anything other than the fact that he owned Apple. They knew nothing else about him, where he came from, what his ideology was, or how he saw the business game. 

Considering that he was one of the richest men on this planet, knowing what he thought of things and his outlook on life may prove to be crucial when determining how he became the man we all came to know, and how you can follow his footsteps to your own success.

Walter Isaacson has recently released a book titled Steve Jobs, which as you can imagine is about none other than the owner of Apple himself. The book is partially based on more than 40 interviews that have been conducted with Jobs over the past two years, as well as hundreds of interviews from people close to him, including friends, family members, colleagues and even competitors.

To put in other words, a lot of things are revealed in this book, things that had no reason to be revealed until now. Not only does it teach you about the man himself, but it also gives you the perspective of those who were close to him at all times, even after the cameras stopped rolling and the curtains dropped. 

These are the words of the people who knew him like no one else did. I find that apart from all the interesting facts the book brings about Jobs’ life, it is actually quite an entertaining read as there are very few filler details; only the relevant and interesting facts and thoughts are explored, and let me tell you, there are more of them than anyone could ever believe.

All in all, if you would like to learn about one of the greatest minds who happened to live on this planet, a man who successfully became one of the richest people on the planet, then at least consider getting this book;
