Download or read book Steve Jobs Life By Design written by George Beahm and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2014-05-13 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On June 12, 2005, Steve Jobs gave his first—and only—commencement address, to the 114th graduating class at Stanford University, an audience of approximately 23,000. They witnessed history: Jobs' 22-minute prepared speech subsequently reached 26 million online viewers worldwide. It is by far the most popular commencement address in history, framed with "three stories" that succinctly summed up the most important lessons Jobs learned in life. Life-changing lessons, he explained, can only be connected when looking back, which he had done in preparation for his talk. Steve Jobs' Life by Design starts with Jobs' own words in the text of his talk and expands outward from there. In the address, Jobs gave us the dots, but he didn't have the luxury of time to connect them. So much about his life, his viewpoint, and his personal and business philosophies were mentioned but not explained. We know what he said, but what actually did he mean? What can we learn from him? This book connects those dots. We see Jobs' life and career through his own eyes, in context, and in proper perspective. His process of looking back illuminated his life—and by doing so, he serves as an inspiration to illuminate our lives as well.

In The Apple Revolution Luke Dormehl shares the inside story of how Apple Inc. came to be; from the formation of the company's philosophies and user-friendly ethos, to the "iPod moment" and global domination, leaving you with a deep understanding of how it was created, why it has flourished, and where it might be going next.

Download or read book The Bite in the Apple written by Chrisann Brennan and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An intimate look at the life of Steve Jobs by the mother of his first child providing rare insight into Jobs's formative, lesser-known years Steve Jobs was a remarkable man who wanted to unify the world through technology. For him, the point was to set people free with tools to explore their own unique creativity. Chrisann Brennan knows this better than anyone. She met him in high school, at a time when Jobs was passionately aware that there was something much bigger to be had out of life, and that new kinds of revelations were within reach. The Bite in the Apple is the very human tale of Jobs's ascent and the toll it took, told from the author's unique perspective as his first girlfriend, co-parent, friend, and—like many others—object of his cruelty. Brennan writes with depth and breadth, and she doesn't buy into all the hype. She talks with passion about an idealistic young man who was driven to change the world, about a young father who denied his own child, and about a man who mistook power for love. Chrisann Brennan's intimate memoir provides the reader with a human dimension to Jobs' myth. Finally, a book that reveals a more real Steve Jobs.

Bunnell graduated from the University of Nebraska in 1969. He was a public school teacher for 4 years before he embarked on his media career. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Steve Jobs was one of the most visionary business leaders of all time. He revolutionized six industries, including personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing. But what made him so incredibly inspiring to me and to millions of his admirers was not just his business acumen. It was all the astonishing qualities he had not normally associated with business people. Steve Jobs was an artist; he was passionate, volatile, opinionated, uniquely creative, mysterious, secretive, and even spiritual. The products he created not only changed the world, but they captivated our imaginations. They always had a clean, elegant look that reflected Steve’s great sense of design and they were always surprisingly intuitive, simple to understand and use. During a joint appearance with Steve at the 2007 G5 Conference in San Diego, Bill Gates famously said, “I’d give a lot to have Steve’s taste,” and I imagine most of us would give a lot as well. As did many others, I admired his showmanship when he introduced something new and I wondered what he would come up with next. Now that he is gone, I wonder what great products we will never see. The best way to understand Steve Jobs and discover what really made him tick is to read his own words. As editor George Beahm writes in the introduction to I, Steve: Steve Jobs in His Own Words: Since 1976 Steve Jobs spoke his mind, to the delight of his advocates and the dismay of his detractors, in every possible venue: press releases, statements on Apple’s websites, public appearances to introduce new Apple products, and interviews to the print and electronic media. Reading the profound words of Steve Jobs on the many topics he addressed is a very inspiring experience which I would recommend to anyone. And this book is a great collection.
