    An absolute joy to read the inner thoughts of a highly influential individual. Through emails, speeches, and interviews you get a good look at who the adult Steve Jobs was.

    I had no idea how a book can transport you in a conference room, behind the stage, in an employee meeting, sitting along side Steve wiring the emails to himself. I have re discover my imagination, something that we all have a child but loose somewhere along the way in life. I will read many other adventures in the future. This books shows that Steve was just a person like you an I, with fear, love, anger and many other emotions but something that he did understood very clearly from the beginning is that he could not change the world alone. Leadership is not knowing more than the reset but to know that the reset know more than leadership. See talent, stay hungry & stay foolish.

    I am in awe of the insight I gained into Steve’s inner world and what motivated him to do things that most individuals would never dare attempt. As someone who has been to Apple Park, the photo of him viewing test materials gave me literal chills. Thank you Steve, for everything you did for humanity.

    This books is a wonderful compilation of Steve’s thoughts, speeches, emails and his general communication with others. Though, many of the these words are read, and reproduced infinitesimally across different media, this is a well bound compilation, which is interesting to read, and motivating.

    As a digital marketer who has always looked up to Steve Jobs and never knew more than half of the things in this book, I highly recommend! Filled with nuggets of honesty and lessons, I can only image what the world would look like today without Steve Jobs.

    Having worked at Apple from 1988-2013, and having been a Mac user/evangelist since 1984, I was entranced by how well this book captured Steve’s passion and ideals. I remember many of the emails and discussions about the progress and challenges. As a MacWorld presenter, I remember Steve basking in the joy of the audience as he introduced “just one more thing.” Having experienced the Apple of John Sculley, Mike Spindler and Gil Amelio, I was very glad to be able to tell Steve “Welcome back.” He will always be an inspiration.
