Praise
âSteve Jobs is the person who most inspires the new generation of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs. In this deeply-researched book, youâll find the most honest portrait of the real Steve Jobs.â âMarc Andreessen
âOne of the best things Brent Schlender and Rick Tetzeli do in writing about Jobs is undoing the âlone geniusâ myth, and complicating his persona.â âAnil Dash, CEO of ThinkUp
âThe book about Steve Jobs that the world deserves. Smart, accurate, informative, insightful and at times, utterly heartbreakingâŠ.Becoming Steve Jobs is going to be an essential reference for decades to come.â âJohn Gruber, Daring Fireball
âBrent Schlender and Rick Tetzeli render a spectacular service with this book, giving fresh perspective on Steve Jobsâ journey from inspiring but immature entrepreneur into an inspired and mature company-builder. Most important, they capture Jobsâ resilience, his refusal to capitulate, his restless drive to stay in the game, his voracious appetite to learnâthis, 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, upliftingâread it and learn!â âJim Collins, author of Good to Great, co-author of Built to Last and Great by Choice
âBecoming 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.â âEd Catmull, president, Disney Animation and Pixar
âWhat makes their book important is that they contend â persuasively, I believe â 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.â âJoe Nocera, The New York Times
âHighly recommended.â âPhilip Elmer-DeWitt, Fortune.com
âSquare would not exist without the work and persistence of Steve Jobs. I am forever grateful. Amazing read.â âJack Dorsey
âWill quicken the pulse of even obsessive Apple watchers . . . a layered portrait of the mercurial Jobs, whose style and personality . . . were constantly evolving, right up to his early death.â âBrad Stone, NYT Sunday Book Review
âA fascinating, insightful book that does a great job capturing what and who the man inside the public mask actually was. Iâm pleased someone got to write it. It needed writing. Previous titles failed. Highly recommended.â âJonny Evans, ComputerWorld
âBecoming Steve Jobs especially shines when it serves up opportunities to get a fresh look at Jobsâ passion for always sticking to the intersection of technology and the humanities that animated his work.â âAndy Meek, BGR
âSchlender is one of the very few journalists whom Steve Jobs favored with his trust over decades of coverageâŠ.only in Becoming Steve Jobs do I recognize the complexity and warmth that I saw first-hand in Jobs, particularly in the last few years of his life.â âSteven Levy, Backchannel
âIf youâre interested in learning more about Steve Jobsâ life, business strategies, successes and failures, the Becoming Steve Jobs book is certainly worth your time.â âJeremy Horwitz, 9to5Mac
âReveals lesser-known aspects of Jobsâ life . . . Thatâs really where Becoming Steve Jobs shines. It offers a unique take on the decisions (mistakes) Jobs made during his time at NeXT and Pixar.â âHarrison Weber, Venture Beat
âIn some ways, this biography can be likened to a college level course in âJobsology,â one that through new information provides adequate insight to flip established doctrine on its head. . . Schlender and Tetzeli proffer a measured and deliberate chronicling of Jobsâ peaks and valleys painted in the words of those who knew him best. It is a record of an incredible life that has until now only been accessible through the prism of the media and what Jobs himself would allow. It forces us to think different.â âMikey Campbell, Apple Insider
âBecoming Steve Jobs does not absolve the protagonist of his foibles, but shows that his accomplishments were indeed legion.â âThe Economist
âFor a deeply felt account . . . of the qualities that earned Jobs the abiding respect and love of his closest associates⊠the Schlender and Tetzeli book is the best thatâs currently available.â âMichael Cohen, TidBITS
âDetailed and thoroughâŠfull of intimate and personal anecdotes from Jobsâ life that demonstrate how he evolved from the Steve Jobs that was ousted from Apple in the early 1990s to the man that lead the company to release its most revolutionary products.â â Lisa Eadicicco, Business Insider
