One of the best books ever, Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson brings Steve Jobs back to life.
This book is more than just a biography. It's like having Mr. Jobs sitting next to you and narrating his life story to you. It's one of the most vividly written book of all time, indeed.
It is almost a 700 pages book and gives you everything you needed. It is worth buying if you want to UTILIZE your money. Money is only well-utilized if the thing bought with it is well-utilized, isn't it?

Thanks for your comment Kai!

I’m not sure why Steve Jobs isn’t as popular in Singapore as in the US. According to Amazon.com (http://techcrunch.com/2011/12/12/steve-jobs-biography-is-amazons-best-selling-book-of-the-year/), Walter Isaacson’s biography of Jobs was the bestselling book last year.

My hunch is that we don’t really have as much of a reading culture here as they do in the US.

Jobs isn’t “sugar, spice and everything nice” but he sure is effective at what he does. His eccentric and unconventional approach to management may have worked only because of his sheer might of foresight, intuition, and understanding of the market. Other lesser mortals trying to apply his ruthless style may not have succeeded as much.

Walter Isaacson isn’t just a typical biographical author in my view. He was the former Chairman and CEO of CNN, and wielded significant influence on media. I suppose Jobs must have respected that guy to give him carte blanche in his biography.

Persevere and I’m sure you’ll be proud of yourself when you complete the book. When I’ve finished the audio book (which was 24 hours 30 minutes in total or so), I felt a mixture of sadness and awe at the end of this epic tale. Few books have impacted me as much as this one has, and I am a very prolific reader of management and business tomes!

I have not finished reading the book, so I reseve my comments for the parts I've read.

Steve Jobs is such a fascinating read, did you ever wonder why his book is not flying off the shelves?

Could it be partly because of his reputation for defying convention, stealing competitors' ideas, intolerance for non-A listers, not sharing credit where it's due and his infamous reality distortion field?

Several of my acquaintances have refused to read the book because they don't like what they hear about him.

Still, whatever we think of Steve Jobs the man, he made Apple a cool household name.

BTW - are we to believe that Walter Isaacson got away with getting Steve Jobs to agree that he, Steve the control maniac, was okay not previewing the content before it went to print?

I can't wait to finish the book. Signing off with my iPad now.
