New edition updated in 2016 "So at thirty I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating... ...I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me." This was Steve Jobs' confession on that morning in June 2005 to students at Stanford University. It summed up the growth that was slowly taking place in him. Chased out of Apple like scum in 1985, Jobs had made a resounding comeback ten years later and gave us devices that left a mark on their time, such as the iPod, iPhone and iPad. The world's most admired CEO, Steve Jobs mostly went against the tide, driven by a vision of genius and an extraordinary strength of conviction. However, he could also get it wrong: he was the one who nearly ruined Apple in 1984 after launching the Macintosh by insisting on poor technical choices! The 4 lives of Steve Jobs depicts Jobs' troubled youth, his rise to glory following the founding of Apple, his disgrace and his vain attempt at revenge followed by a return to the top. It also reveals a thousand unexpected facets of the extraordinary artist who ran Apple. * His quest for enlightenment in India * His initial refusal to recogniae the paternity of his daughter Lisa * His relationship with folk singer Joan Baez * The search for his mother, who abandoned him at birth * The attempt to treat his cancer with a vegetarian diet In his own way, Steve Jobs never stopped wanting to change the world, to change life... A best-seller Published by Leduc Editions in April 2011, the French version of The Four Lives of Steve Jobs was a number one best-seller at the end of August, 2011.

Viré avec perte et fracas. La raison d’être de ma vie n’existait plus. J’étais en miettes. Je ne m’en suis pas rendu compte tout de suite, mais mon départ forcé d’Apple fut salutaire… » Telle a été la confession de Steve Jobs en ce matin de juin 2005 aux étudiants de l’Université de Stanford. Elle résumait la maturation qui s’étaot lentement opérée en lui. Chassé d’Apple comme un malpropre en 1985, Jobs avait réussi un come-back retentissant dix ans plus tard et décliné des œuvres qui marquent leur époque tels l’iPod, l’iPhone et l’iPad. _______________________________________ PDG le plus admiré au monde, Steve Jobs a le plus souvent navigué à contre-courant, poussé par une vision de génie et une force de conviction hors du commun. Pourtant, il pouvait aussi se tromper : c'est lui-même qui a failli couler Apple en 1984 après avoir lancé le Macintosh en imposant des choix techniques incohérents ! Les 4 vies de Steve Jobs dépeint la jeunesse troublée de Jobs, l’accession à la gloire suite à la fondation d’Apple, sa disgrâce et sa vaine tentative de revanche suivie d’un retour en apothéose. Il dévoile aussi mille facettes inattendues de l’artiste hors norme qui dirige Apple. * Sa quête de l’illumination en Inde * Son refus initial de reconnaître la paternité de sa fille Lisa * Sa liaison avec la chanteuse folk Joan Baez * La quête de sa mère qui l’a abandonné à sa naissance * La tentative de soigner son cancer par un régime alimentaire végétarien… À sa façon, Steve Jobs n’a cessé de vouloir changer le monde, changer la vie… Un livre best-seller Publié par Leduc Editions en avril 2011,Les 4 vies de Steve Jobs s'est classé n°1 des ventes fin août 2011.

And the Wall Street Journal praised him as a ‘Person of the Decade’.

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.

Download or read book Steve Jobs written by Walter Isaacson and published by JC Lattès. This book was released on 2011-10-26 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suggéré par le créateur d’Apple, qui fait face à une maladie redoutable, Steve Jobs, à partir de plus de quarante entretiens menés sur plus de deux ans et d’interviews d’une centaine de membres de sa famille, amis, rivaux, concurrents et collègues, le livre retrace l’incroyable vie et l’extraordinaire personnalité d’un génie, perfectionniste et hyperactif, qui a révolutionné les ordinateurs, les films d’animation, la musique, les téléphones, les tablettes tactiles et l’édition numérique. Steve Jobs est désormais l’icône absolue de l’inventivité. Il a compris qu’associer la créativité à la technologie était devenu essentiel. Steve Jobs a bien sûr collaboré au livre mais n’a demandé aucun droit de regard sur ce qui est écrit, ni même de le lire avant la publication. Il n’a imposé aucune limite, au contraire, il a encouragé son entourage à parler librement. « Il y a beaucoup de choses dont je ne suis pas fier, dit-il, notamment la façon dont, à vingt-trois ans, j’ai géré la situation lorsque ma petite amie est tombée enceinte. Mais je n’ai pas de cadavres dans le placard que j’essaie de cacher. » C’est avec une extrême franchise que Steve Jobs parle des personnes avec qui il a travaillé ou été en concurrence. Il peut profondément exaspérer les gens autour de lui. Ses amis, ennemis et collègues évoquent sans langue de bois ses passions, ses démons, ses désirs, son intransigeance, et son obsession du contrôle qui ont forgé sa vision des affaires et les innovations qui en ont découlé. La personnalité de Steve Jobs et les produits qu’il crée sont étroitement liés, comme les différentes parties d’un système intégré – tous les produits Apple et ses logiciels participent de cette logique. Le parcours de Jobs est exemplaire, un modèle en terme d’innovation, de caractère, de direction d’entreprise et de valeurs.

Book excerpt: 'Simple can be harder than complex. You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end, because once you get there, you can move mountains' Steve Jobs, BusinessWeek, May 25, 1998 To Steve Jobs, Simplicity wasn't just a design principle. It was a religion and a weapon. The obsession with Simplicity is what separates Apple from other technology companies. It's what helped Apple recover from near death in 1997 to become the most valuable company on Earth in 2011, and guides the way Apple is organized, how it designs products, and how it connects with customers. It's by crushing the forces of Complexity that the company remains on its stellar trajectory. As creative director, Ken Segall played a key role in Apple's resurrection, helping to create such critical campaigns as 'Think Different' and naming the iMac. Insanely Simple is his insider's view of Jobs' world. It reveals the ten elements of Simplicity that have driven Apple's success - which you can use to propel your own organisation. Reading Insanely Simple, you'll be a fly on the wall inside a conference room with Steve Jobs, and on the receiving end of his midnight phone calls. You'll understand how his obsession with Simplicity helped Apple perform better and faster.

A finalist for the YALSA Excellence in Nonfiction Award! "Your time is limited. . . . have the courage to follow your heart and intuition." —Steve Jobs From the start, his path was never predictable. Steve Jobs was given up for adoption at birth, dropped out of college after one semester, and at the age of twenty, created Apple in his parents' garage with his friend Steve Wozniack. Then came the core and hallmark of his genius—his exacting moderation for perfection, his counterculture life approach, and his level of taste and style that pushed all boundaries. A devoted husband, father, and Buddhist, he battled cancer for over a decade, became the ultimate CEO, and made the world want every product he touched, from the Macintosh to the iPhone, from iTunes and the iPod to the Macbook. Critically acclaimed author Karen Blumenthal takes us to the core of this complicated and legendary man while simultaneously exploring the evolution of computers. Framed by Jobs' inspirational Stanford commencement speech and illustrated throughout with black and white photos, this is the story of the man who changed our world.

Download or read book Becoming Steve Jobs written by Brent Schlender and published by Crown Currency. This book was released on 2015-03-24 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The #1 New York Times bestselling biography of how Steve Jobs became the most visionary CEO in history. Becoming Steve Jobs breaks down the conventional, one-dimensional view of Steve Jobs that he was half-genius, half-jerk from youth, an irascible and selfish leader who slighted friends and family alike. Becoming Steve Jobs answers the central question about the life and career of the Apple cofounder and CEO: How did a young man so reckless and arrogant that he was exiled from the company he founded become the most effective visionary business leader of our time, ultimately transforming the daily life of billions of people? Drawing on incredible and sometimes exclusive access, Schlender and Tetzeli tell a different story of a real human being who wrestled with his failings and learned to maximize his strengths over time. Their rich, compelling narrative is filled with stories never told before from the people who knew Jobs best, including his family, former inner circle executives, and top people at Apple, Pixar and Disney, most notably Tim Cook, Jony Ive, Eddy Cue, Ed Catmull, John Lasseter, Robert Iger and many others. In addition, Schlender knew Jobs personally for 25 years and draws upon his many interviews with him, on and off the record, in writing the book. He and Tetzeli humanize the man and explain, rather than simply describe, his behavior. Along the way, the book provides rich context about the technology revolution we've all lived through, and the ways in which Jobs changed our world. A rich and revealing account, Becoming Steve Jobs shows us how one of the most colorful and compelling figures of our times was able to combine his unchanging, relentless passion with an evolution in management style to create one of the most valuable and beloved companies on the planet.

Book excerpt: Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak et Ronald Wayne créent Apple le 1er avril 1976 à Cupertino. Au début des années 1980, Steve Jobs saisit le potentiel commercial des travaux du Xerox Parc sur le couple interface graphique/souris, ce qui conduit à la conception du Lisa, puis du Macintosh en 1984, les premiers ordinateurs grand public à profiter de ces innovations. Après avoir perdu une lutte de pouvoir à la tête d'Apple avec le directeur général qu'il avait pourtant recruté, John Sculley, il quitte l'entreprise en septembre 1985 pour fonder NeXT. En 1986, il rachète la division Graphics Group de Lucas film, la transforme en Pixar Animation Studios et rencontre le succès commercial en 1995 avec Toy Story, un film dont il est le producteur délégué. Il reste directeur-général propriétaire de la compagnie (à 50,1 %) jusqu'à son acquisition par la Walt Disney Company en 2006. Début 1997, Apple, alors au bord de la faillite, rachète NeXT. L'opération permet à Steve Jobs de revenir à la tête de la firme qu'il a cofondée et fournit à Apple le code source de NeXTSTEP à partir duquel est développé le système d'exploitation Mac OS X. Il supervise durant les quatorze années suivantes la création, le lancement et le développement de l'iMac (1998), de l'iPod, d'iTunes et de la chaîne de magasins Apple Store (2001), de l'iTunes Store (2003), de l'iPhone (2007) et de l'iPad (2010), présentant les différents produits à un rythme pluriannuel lors de ses fameuses keynotes et faisant de son entreprise une des plus riches au monde au moment de sa mort. En 2003, Steve Jobs apprend qu'il est atteint d'une forme rare de cancer pancréatique. Il passe les années suivantes à lutter contre la maladie, subissant plusieurs hospitalisations et arrêts de travail, apparaissant de plus en plus amaigri au fur et à mesure que sa santé décline. Il meurt le 5 octobre 2011 à son domicile de Palo Alto, à l'âge de cinquante-six ans. Sa mort soulève une importante vague d'émotion à travers le monde.
