[Book Review] Steve Jobs (Karen Blumenthal) * * *

Steve Jobs: The man who thought different 

Author: Karen Blumenthal

My Ratings: 3/5

Well okay, this one is not the Walter Isaacson one. But not bad either man. In fact, to those who are not much into him or into the tech savvy world he belonged to, this one is a fast, lucid and short version of that perhaps.

I really loved the simple and lucid use of language the author has depicted. the flow created is amazing. Just simply amazing. The paraphrasing is good too. And as you proceed with it, you do feel that the author is toughing just deep to make you understand his world. Inch perfect perhaps. It contains all the information you should know and avoids the excess does which you don't. 

I would say it's a very good read and not just because it's about a great man but also because of the fact that it has been greatly written down. It's not easy to ink another persons life. But the book makes you feel otherwise. Few good lines from the book:

"You have to have a real single-minded tunnel vision if you want to get anything significant accomplished ."

"You playing is the best argument I have ever heard for the existence of God, because I don't really believe a human alone can do this" Jobs to an music artist.

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life."

"Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become."
