An interesting, now historical, trawl through the mind of Steve Jobs. Has lots of points about the business tips that you could get from Jobs, but occasionally contradicted himself.

Excellent and timely thoughts on one of the great ones.

I have given up on this book. I feel bad about doing so - I tend to never stop reading a book. I have two books in my list that I didn't like much, but I finished them. They were fiction. This, however, has been to hard to get through. I am listening to a Danish audio version. I can hear certain graphic conventions, like lists or headings, but I get the impression that sometimes there is too much "staccato". That is, too many sound bites and not a longer continous thread of a story. Audio-wise, I am lost. I lack a structure to give me my bearings in the book. It seems like a string of anecdotes. I have no sense of a beginning or an end or point to it all. I may get more out of various news article on Steve Jobs. After leaving it in my iTunes for listening for so long and finding so many excuses for avoiding it, I fear I must say bye-bye.

Marked as read [on Goodreads], but there should be a "Gave up, may come back later" choice.

*Full disclaimer* I listened to the audiobook of the Danish translation, the original could be better.

I liked this insight into Steve Jobs life, but it was nothing amazing and I think there must be better biographies out there. I mainly chose this one because the Danish audiobook was free.

Interesting but I don't think anyone could read this book and become Steve Jobs.

Just a report on a privileged man who was an abusive boss but also the person behind Apple. He displayed the behaviour that is only accepted from rich white men

This is about Steve Jobs. Everything interesting about Steve Jobs was said in the book by the same name.

This one is based on the business model of Apple, more than anything, and, I think, is meant for business owners.

Excuse any incoherencies. It's November.
