"iCon Steve Jobs" By Jeffrey S. Young and William L. Simon


Well the book is about a nerd who actually ruled the world in his heyday, Steve Jobs. Despite his peculiar modus operandi about different aspects of life, he made it big. The king of organizations like “Apple”, “Pixar” and “Next” and the founder of innovative products like “Macintosh computer”, he often surprised the world. The reclusive nature couldn’t stop him from getting awards after awards. The venal had a unique way of convincing people and had almost succeeded every time.
Jeffery and William expatiated upon every aspect of his life in this book. Starting from the day when he forced his step parents to spend more money than they can afford till the foundation of “Ipod” and “Itunes”. He started the company name “Apple” after dropping out from the Reed College in a garage with another nerd “Steve Woznaik”. The text elaborates enough about the reasons for his expulsion from the company, he started. But the Zen believer still found the way to escape and made a foray in the world of computer graphics. His company “Pixar” made a stupendous impact on the world with the help of computer animation. It also resulted in winning “Oscar” and acted as a life savior for his sinking ship.
The main inspiration I got from this book is how to stand alone. It doesn’t matter you know anything or not. All that matters is how you handle things. Jeffery and William gave the text, a professional touch. So even if you don’t like reading biographies, I can surely say this is the one you can probably go for.
