Masaki Tanaka's Reviews > Steve Jobs

Anyone who has heard of him may wonder, “What was the key to Steve Jobs success?” Well, in the Steve Jobs biography, Walter Isaacson, the author, gives it to you straight without any bias. Jobs is unloyal, vegetarian, short-tempered, Zen Buddhist, and overall an extremely outlandish figure. However, he has a love for mechanics and is a great entrepreneur, learning from his father, his best friend Wozniak, and anybody near him with similar interests. This book is, as I claimed before, unbiased and the author accurately tells each person’s perspective. This massive amount of information came from co-workers, family members, and even Steve’s competitors. Also, I enjoyed how much information was in the book, seeing that there were about a couple hundred sources. There were plenty of backstories that were related but entertaining. It talks about Steve’s biological parents and how they required him to go to college and that both parents had college degrees as part of the agreement for his adoption. Though people may be intimidated by the sheer size of this book, I would recommend this for anyone with a lot of time on their hands.
