I absolutely loved this book and absorbed every anecdote from front to back. I'm a big fan of Steve Jobs so this provides some interesting extra insight into his life that other biographies don't, but I also love Pixar and this book has a wealth of insight into its tumultuous beginnings and shows that no company simply becomes big overnight, there's a ton of hardwork that happens in the background that no-one sees.
Very highly recommend giving this a read whether you're a fan of Jobs, Pixar or just the film business in general.

I probably enjoyed this book more than the average reader because of my love for Disney and Pixar. It was really interesting to learn about the beginnings and successes of this company. Really, Pixar should never have made it but ended up becoming the most successful animation company in the world and breaking incredible barriers along the way. I enjoyed reading it.

Me gustó porque cuenta cómo por más creativo e innovador que sea tu proyecto; también necesitas una perspectiva de negocio para poder hacer que los demás vean el potencial y llegar más lejos

An entertaining read which came at the right time in my life. An insightful look at Pixar's growth as a startup and the importance of that balance between creativity and structure. I also like that we could see Steve Jobs as a person and true to my thoughts, that most successful people has that strong maybe unbearable persona which is the key drive in making them the successful person that they are.
A recommended read, especially to 1) creatives 2) people who are working in/starting startups

Relatively low information density, with a lot of space given over to extensive naming and praising of various board room types. So and so is articulate, so and so is engaging, etc. Save it for the credits, broseph.
Interesting deets about Pixar. Isnt it weird though how the author, then the CFO, never mentioned that John Lasseter was busy making movies AND his subordinates uncomfortable? Just never came up. Sure, the author had space to spend 30 pages pontificating about business casual Buddhism, but not to mention the misogyny and misconduct of his golden goose.
How bizarre.
