Steve Jobs

Book Description

October 24, 2011
Based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing.

At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its innovative edge, and when societies around the world are trying to build digital-age economies, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the twenty-first century was to connect creativity with technology. He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering.

Although Jobs cooperated with this book, he asked for no control over what was written nor even the right to read it before it was published. He put nothing off-limits. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and the innovative products that resulted.
Driven by demons, Jobs could drive those around him to fury and despair. But his personality and products were interrelated, just as Apple’s hardware and software tended to be, as if part of an integrated system. His tale is instructive and cautionary, filled with lessons about innovation, character, leadership, and values.

.
Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Taking a rigid position will reflect badly on you. As much as you hate to do so, you have to compromise, if only to satisfy the powers that be. If you're perceived as being unable to get along with others, you'll be passed up for a promotion. Grit your teeth, take a deep breath, and approach the opposition. Bending on a couple of key points will allow you to get the majority of your agenda passed. Avoid having a temper tantrum, at least in public.
 .
Taurus (Apr21/May21) You've got to be honest with yourself; the reason you keep falling short of your goals is from a lack of diligence. If you're going to reach the top, you'll have to put pleasure on the back burner. Enrol in a long term educational programme and stick with it. Once you graduate, you'll get much better job offers and assignments. Devise a plan to stay focused when times get tough. Having a support system of friends and relatives will stop you dropping out.
 .
Gemini (May22/Jun21) Fear of boredom prompts you to do something rash. Resist the temptation to leave a steady job, even if it is driving you to distraction. Right now, you need security more than stimulation. You can always entertain yourself after hours with an extreme sport or passionate love affair. It's especially important to avoid weighing down your body with rich food and intoxicating beverages. You've got to be in top condition to handle the challenges ahead. Eat well and take regular exercise.
 .
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) You're suffering from burnout, and no wonder. It's what happens when you burn the candle at both ends. Now you have to cut back your schedule and get more sleep. Don't bother defending your actions to other people. They have no idea how much you've sacrificed on their behalf. In time, the extent of your contributions will become known. Until then, you have to take care of yourself. Develop a relaxing bedtime routine so you can stave off insomnia.
 .
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Stop making light of a health problem. You've got to get medical attention for an ache or pain that has been causing you trouble for some time. The longer you underplay this condition, the weaker your system will become. Part of the problem is you've been engaging in a strenuous routine for too long. Getting a change of scenery will help you recuperate. You might even want to take a long distance trip as a way to get away from the pressures at home.
 .
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Resist the urge to let yourself go, even if it feels like nobody cares. While it's true you've experienced a series of crushing blows, you can't let these disappointments get you down. By exhibiting grace under fire, your detractors will become discouraged and seek another target. You'll also attract golden opportunities. People are always drawn to those who look great and walk with a spring in their step. Indulge in a little retail therapy to lift your spirits.
 .
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Unless you're careful, intense anxiety can consume you, stop fretting over things you cannot control. By devising some relaxation techniques, you can avoid the sickening feeling that accompanies your fears. Breathe deep, do some stretches, and jot your feelings into a notebook. Sometimes the best way to exorcise a demon is to write down the worst case scenario. Once you see how vivid your imagination really is, you'll laugh at the gloomy tales you've been telling yourself.
 .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Insulting your enemies is like pouring petrol over a smouldering fire. Ease up. If you're perceived as being petty or jealous, you'll lose a great measure of your power. Stop betraying your emotions. Be pleasant, even to your most severe critics. Adopt a positive outlook, even if it feels like your efforts are being thwarted at every turn. Putting people at ease will give you a decided advantage. You're playing a dangerous game here, and must stack the deck on your favour.
 .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Overindulging in creature comforts is making you soft; it's time to get back to basics. Cut back your spending. Embark on a challenging project. Volunteer for a charitable cause. Staying busy will keep you out of trouble. It will also stop you going into debt. There's nothing more dangerous than shopping when you are bored. If your bills have spiralled out of control, set up a payment plan so you can become financially independent again. You hate being indebted to others.
 .
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Being in fear of betrayal is no way to go through life. You have to have a little more faith in others, not to mention yourself. Avoid ordering others to do your bidding, or you will only garner resentment. You always catch more flies with honey than you would with vinegar. Be conscious of the ways in which people try to serve you. Express your gratitude for these small gestures. The more thankful you are, the more devoted your minions will become.
 .
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Lately, you've been feeling small and insignificant; it scares you to think how little people need you. The truth is quite different, but you're determined to take a bleak view of life. If you're going to get out of this rut, reach out to your nearest and dearest. Spend quality time with your friends. It's sometimes difficult for people to feel close to you, because you rarely betray your emotions.
 .
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) You feel alienated from others, and no wonder. You occupy the realm of emotion, while your friends are utterly logical. They simply can't understand how you can become so upset over seemingly minor issues. What they don't realise is how deeply you sense others' pain. It's like a physical blow to you. The best way to get over it is to isolate yourself. Sneak off to some secluded retreat where you can nurse your wounds in private, without the sound of criticism ringing in your ears.
