Over his life, Steve Jobs was called many different things. Most of them were positive and ranged from innovator, to intelligent, a dreamer, demanding, private, focused and determined. There are plenty more adjectives available to describe one of the most celebrated CEOs on the planet, but you must first understand the man, in order to understand the impact that he has had on the entire globe.
Steve Jobs was most probably the most famous business leader the world has or ever will know. He was a visionary and this simple guide is going to try and share some information behind the man who gave us amongst many other things Macs, iPods and iPhones. This guide tries to reflect the simplicity and ease of use that we all know in Apple products. We take a look at his early years and how he was adopted soon after birth, what he was like at school and his early working life at Atari before starting Apple. Started from a garage to become the most valuable company on earth, his departure from Apple and his years in between, before his return and then the meteoric rise of Apple are briefly discussed in this amazing short read. 20% of all profits from this book will be donated to the Caring for Carcinoid Foundation.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Synopsis of Mr. Jobs..
Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2012

This is a very short read on the life of Steve Jobs. In fact it's a synopsis of his entire life. However, there were some important issues which were not included which I feel are necessary in reference to Steve Job's rebuilding of Apple. After Mr. Jobs returned to Apple; both the Stock and the general up keep of Apple's Infrastructure was a mess. Apple had been selling off many of it's copywrites in order to satisfy the Stockholders who apparently depended on Quarterly Dividends. I think the secret of Steve Jobs with Apple was the important fact that he removed Apples requirements to pay Dividends and simply add earned income (or Interest) to Principal. In this manner, Apple was cash rich enough to devote more time to making continued improvements to all of Apple's Products. All of us have noted there have been continued changes as well as upgrades with the MAC, the Smart Phone, new versions of the I-Pads and such over time. Aside from what I have stated, the Guide to Steve Jobs was well written. Thank you.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice format, but factual errors
Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2012

I like the format and idea - a short guide to the famous contemporaries. However, it would have been so much better if the author checked the facts. In the book he credits Jobs and Wozniak with inventing the computer mouse, which is demonstrably not true. If he didn't bother to check such a simple fact, then it raises a question mark over other facts he gives that I have no way of checking.
