A review by dkatreads
Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson
4.0
A fascinating read about a man whose life shaped more of our modern age than I ever realized. Engaging, illustrative, and important, but never quite enthralling.
Left with lots of thoughts about leadership, legacy, and what it takes to change the world, but mostly asking, is it worth it?
I enjoyed learning about the history of innovations in the computer industry, of Jobs’ design philosophy and aspirations for animation and storytelling at Pixar. My appreciation and respect for those brands grew immensely in a way I didn’t expect.
A desire to build the best products, to integrate beauty and technological need, and to push the people around you to excellence is the central theme of Jobs’ life that will stick with me the most. Thankful for the read and definitely recommended for Apple enthusiasts.
