From bestselling author Walter Isaacson comes the landmark
biography of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. In Steve Jobs: The
Exclusive Biography, Isaacson provides an extraordinary account of
Jobs' professional and personal life. Drawn from three years of
exclusive and unprecedented interviews Isaacson has conducted with
Jobs as well as extensive interviews with Jobs' family members, key
colleagues from Apple and its competitors, Steve Jobs: The
Exclusive Biography is the definitive portrait of the greatest
innovator of his generation. 
The narrative of his personal life builds throughout the book
beginning with one distinct chapter, then another, then another,
until gradually his personal and professional lives become
intertwined. There is material on his parents, on how he came to be
adopted (and quite a bit, throughout the book, on his attitude to
his adoption), his influences during his childhood, his emerging
attitude to life, his girlfriends, his wife and his children. There
is new material in amongst all of this and many, many gripping
stories. Ordinarily, we don’t get to hear much about Steve Jobs’s
private life – but there is a lot here. 
The intricacies of Steve’s character are revealed through the
events of his life story. This means that his less praiseworthy
attributes are in evidence throughout – as much as his qualities.
It’s the combination of the two that is most fascinating, and the
book subtly explores where the many parts of Steve Jobs come from
and why they came to create such a successful and remarkable
man. 
This is a biography, but it is also the most inspiring, most
insightful business book one could imagine. Apple is such a unique
organization that has excelled in almost every area through force
of will, through hard work, through vision, through perfectionism
and through the most canny market awareness and deal-making and
breaking. Jobs’s role in all of this is a huge part of this book.
Anyone who has an aspiration or drive in whatever their career may
be – in marketing, in management, in design, in technology – will
want to read this book. . 
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 and instead encouraged the
people he knew to speak honestly – even foes, former girlfriends,
and colleagues he had once fired or infuriated. “I’ve done a lot of
things I’m not proud of, such as getting my girlfriend pregnant
when I was 23 and the way I handled that,” he said. “But I don’t
have any skeletons in my closet that can’t be allowed out.”
