Steve Jobs

As I read more and more of this Steve Jobs book, I realize how much information I don't know about Steve Jobs. I thought that he was a fairly normal kind of person, with the exception of his rough childhood. I am finding that we went through a lot of steps, development, and discovery to become the person he was at Apple. Many of his very unique characteristics, such as his Zen Buddhism spirituality, carried with him for the rest of his life. At apple, some of his leadership skills, skills of perfection, and other traits may have actually have been a result of this Zen Buddhism spirituality period of Jobs life. This author really goes deep into why Jobs was so successful, as well as all the obstacles Jobs has overcome, where he developed his character. Also, the author talks about how special, neat, and amazing this process was, and how it was very unique. I would recommend this book not only to anyone who want to know a little more about Apple, Steve Jobs at Apple, or computers, but also about Job's many different characteristics and traits. This book makes it seem almost impossible that such a, in a way, strange, man could become the CEO of Apple; one of the best computer companies in the world.

  1. I never knew any of these things about him! You're right, not many people knew much about him, at least I didn't. I think these things make him more human. I felt like he was a robot, that he only existed for the public. I never saw much of his personal life in the media.
