Becoming Steve Jobs: The evolution of a reckless upstart into a visionary leader (English Edition) Versión Kindle
THE SUNDAY TIMES AND #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER - NOW IN PAPERBACK
We all think we know who Steve Jobs was, what made him tick, and what made him succeed.
Yet the single most important question about him has never been answered.
The young, impulsive, egotistical genius was ousted in the mid-80s from the company he founded, exiled from his own kingdom and cast into the wilderness. Yet he returned a decade later to transform the ailing Apple into the most successful company the world had ever seen.
How did this reckless upstart transform himself into a visionary business leader?
The first comprehensive study of Jobs' career following his dismissal from Apple, written with unparalleled access and insight, BECOMING STEVE JOBS offers a startling new portrait of the most important business figure in modern history. The most intimate biography yet of Jobs, written by the journalist who knew him better than any other, BECOMING STEVE JOBS draws on recently discovered interviews that have never before seen the light of day, and answers for the first time the most pressing questions about what made this legendary business leader such a success.

Descripción del producto
Críticas
Highly recommended. ― Philip Elmer-DeWitt, Fortune.com
Exhaustive and moving... full of new information ― Independent
A fascinating reinterpretation of the Steve Jobs story. ― Sunday Times
Steve Jobs is the person who most inspires the new generation of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs. In this deeply-researched book, you'll find the most honest portrait of the real Steve Jobs. ― Marc Andreessen
What makes their book important is that they contend - persuasively, I believe - that . . . [Jobs] was not the same man in his prime that he had been at the beginning of his career. The callow, impetuous, arrogant youth who co-founded Apple was very different from the mature and thoughtful man who returned to his struggling creation and turned it into a company that made breathtaking products while becoming the dominant technology company of our time. ― Joe Nocera, The New York Times
Offers a new look into the life of the Apple co-founder... includes a number of interesting anecdotes and perspectives from those who have rarely spoken of their relationships with Jobs over the decades, all tied together by one of the few reporters to have had access to Jobs on a regular basis throughout that time. ― MacRumors
BECOMING STEVE JOBS is fantastic. After working with Steve for over 25 years, I feel this book captures with great insight the growth and complexity of a truly extraordinary person. I hope that it will be recognized as the definitive history. ― Ed Catmull, President, Pixar and Disney Animation
This is the insider's guide to Steve Jobs. ― The Times
Brent Schlender and Rick Tetzeli render a spectacular service with this book, giving fresh perspective on Steve Jobs' journey from inspiring but immature entrepreneur into an inspired and mature company-builder. Most important, they capture Jobs' resilience, his refusal to capitulate, his restless drive to stay in the game, his voracious appetite to learn-this, far more than genius, is what made him great. Becoming Steve Jobs gets the focus precisely right: not as a success story, but as a growth story. Riveting, insightful, uplifting-read it and learn! ― Jim Collins, author Good to Great, co-author Built to Last and Great by Choice
The book about Steve Jobs that the world deserves. Smart, accurate, informative, insightful and at times, utterly heartbreaking....Becoming Steve Jobs is going to be an essential reference for decades to come. ― John Gruber, Daring Fireball
Square would not exist without the work and persistence of Steve Jobs. I am forever grateful. Amazing read.

- Reseñado en España el 26 de abril de 2016Increíble libro sobre el cofundador de Apple refleja muy bien cómo era Steve Jobs y no que se le describía en la biografía publicada en 2011. Cuenta sobre la personalidad de Jobs al igual de cómo trabajaba y con imágenes bastantes divertidas.
Altamente recomendable si estás interesado en la historia de un icono de la tecnología. Una pena que no este en ingles pero bueno se entiende genial.
- Reseñado en España el 18 de enero de 2016Un buen complemento de la genial biografía que escribió Walter Isaacson. Es muy amena y se ha documentado muy bien.
- Reseñado en España el 7 de mayo de 2015The shipping was relatively fast and it's an american printed edition.
I have yet to start reading, but some pages I've read, I'm sure I will enjoy it very much.
A little over 400 pages and photos of Steve Jobs in a few central pages in several times of his life are a very nice touch.
I highly recommend this book.
- Reseñado en España el 2 de diciembre de 2018Lo compré en inglés porque era muchísimo más barato y para practicar mi inglés. Es un libro magnífico.
- Reseñado en España el 29 de marzo de 2015Very inspiring story of how a immature and brilliant bold youth became a really great person of our time. Highly recommended.
- Reseñado en España el 8 de mayo de 2017para mi que no soy seguidista de apple, hoy lo he sido en el año 2005 quando aun era una cosa exclusiva, tener produtos de la mazana, ha sido muy interessante conocer la historia de esto hombre e los errores que ha hecho y con los cuales ha aprendido que le han permitido mas tarde cambiar apple

5,0 de 5 estrellas Growth, Love, and Beauty: the Self-Made Soul of Apple
Steve Jobs famously said, “You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward.” *Becoming Steve Jobs*, by Brent Schlender and Rick Tetzeli, does a wonderful job of connecting the dots of Steve Jobs’ passionate life.
With new first-hand accounts and insights into Jobs’ personal and professional growth, *Becoming Steve Jobs* offers a glimpse into the tremendous work it took for an “inconsiderate“ and “rash” young visionary to develop himself into a caring and deliberate leader who so deeply valued -- and inspired in others -- one thing above all else: a love of and dedication to creating the beautiful in work, in life.
GROWTH.
In *Becoming Steve Jobs*, we see Jobs develop. At times, we encounter him at his worst: an emotionally erratic young man sitting in a parking lot, literally crying in shame after losing control of himself in a meeting; an arrogant 20-something who thinks “he could probably do anybody’s job better than they could” (Schlender & Tetzeli); a pained adult having to finally end production on his beloved NeXT computers. We see his beginnings, and his faults. But we also see the steps he takes to grow, to overcome weaknesses and learn from mistakes. For instance, we see him genuinely apologizing for inappropriate outbursts. We hear from colleagues such as John Lasseter, Chief Creative Officer at Pixar, that he could inspire those around him “to do amazing things he knew he couldn’t do himself.” And of course we see his incredible comeback to Apple (after it purchases NeXT) and the fantastic computers he creates while there. Time and again, we see Steve Jobs neither as a lucky boy in the right place at the right time nor as a fully formed tech messiah with God-given talents. Instead, we see the growth of a self-made soul, a man who worked -- and worked and worked -- every step of the way to become a visionary leader.
LOVE.
From the words of those who knew Steve Jobs best, we learn that he was a man who profoundly loved his work:
“Steve loved ideas and loved making stuff, and he treated the process of creativity with a rare and wonderful reverence.” --Jony Ive, Apple’s VP of Design and one of Jobs’ closest friends
“He loved this company.” --Ed Catmull, President of Pixar
“He loved it. He was like a kid.” --Lasseter on how Steve would excitingly show Pixar movies to all his neighbors
“No one else I ever covered was so passionate about the creations of his business.” --Schlender & Tetzeli
And by so loving his work, Steve inspired those around him to do the same. As Apple’s current CEO Tim Cook says, “Steve cared. He cared deeply about things. Yes, he was passionate about things, and he wanted things to be perfect. And that was what was great about him. He wanted everyone to do their best work.”
BEAUTY.
Steve Jobs found beauty in “the marriage” of technology with humanities, and he accomplished that union in a world-changing way. It was his uniquely integrated technical and aesthetic vision that was at the core of the personal computer revolution, making possible the movement from million-dollar, bulky mainframes that could barely fit in an office, to inexpensive, beautiful smartphones that glide easily into our pockets. Jobs had an all-encompassing “love of beauty,” says his wife Laurene, and ultimately it was this love of the beautiful, his (self-proclaimed) joy in “making wonderful things” that drove him.
Overall, *Becoming Steve Jobs* is an engaging biography of Jobs’ life that neither sugarcoats his shortcomings nor belittles his brilliance (as sycophants and cynics have no doubt attempted elsewhere). Rather, it confirms in a well-researched and well-told story what those closest to Jobs have said for years: that despite his weaknesses -- many of which he grew to overcome -- Steve was a great man, whose joyous success in the real world is, as Jony Ive so powerfully stated in a funeral tribute to his friend, “a victory for beauty, for purity, and, as [Steve] would say, for giving a damn.”

5,0 de 5 estrellas More focused on business and leadership than Walter Isaacson's
If you've read the Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson and think this one here will be "more abou the same", you might be wrong. This book is more focused on their professional challenges and, why not say that, I good complement of Isaacson's book. A lot of missing parts of that book will be found here and, if you want to understand how Jobs changed his leadership style over the years this one is a great piece for that.
Highly recommended.

5,0 de 5 estrellas great
Un livre passionnant sur un personnage tout à fait en dehors du politiquement correct. Une victoire de l'obstination individuelle sur la cascade de régulations collectives. A recommander à tous ceux qui craignent le développement de Big Brother. La volonté d'un individu à se réaliser dans un monde où l'idée d'égalité devient un destructeur de projets et d'ambition il est réconfortant de vérifier que l'obstination, la détermination peuvent encore ouvrir les portes de la liberté.
