Why you should read iCon Steve Jobs
Though unabashedly adulatory, this unauthorized biography of Steven Jobs - co-founder of Apple Computers and head of Pixar Studios - shows how he nearly squandered his career and fortune on ill-conceived and badly managed ventures. The writing is savvy and lively - if not always chronologically linear. The pace is quick and even readers with scant interest in computers, technology or animated movies will find the tale entertaining. Authors Jeffrey S. Young and William L. Simon wisely focus on how Jobs learned from his failures and became a success again by recognizing his own limitations. In that respect, getAbstract.com believes Jobs’ journey holds important business and life lessons, and recommends it highly to all business readers.

Steve is like anyone wanting to prove you can achieve the American dream. Steve, a hippie, was rebelious. He did not want to be controlled or told what to do. Quite the opposite. Steve wanted those around him to do as he wished. Steve got lucky many times, but luck is really: hard work that creates opportunities. Steve was a worker, a fighter, and believed in himself. |
