The Steve Jobs Way

Very poorly written..rather than give factual information or real life tales, this book is a compilation of a stream of sycophancy.
Does not come anywhere close to iCon.

if you are a die hard Apple and Steve Jobs fan..wouldnt recommend this book at all. Wait for the offical biography.

I got this Book a week ago that too only a day after me booking it online..! thats great..! I must say that the delivery system from Flipkart is just Awesome..! It is a good read for the Steve Fans till his real Autobiography comes to market. This book has many stories that led to Mac, iPod, and iPhone's invention that changed the way how the World perceived about Electronic Gadgets. I liked one particular article where Steve tells his Apple team to come up with a Mobile which has only Button other than Green and Red (Receiving and Hanging up )..! His team says it is impossible..! He immediately tells them..! I want this..! Go figure it out how to do this..! This eventually leaded to the Birth of iPhone what we see today..! Isn't it interesting..! Go checkout this book which has lots of interesting Stories about Apple, Steve, Woznoic, of course about IBM..! On why he used to Hate that Company and compare their work to Washing a Dead Fish on the Shore..!! Bring it on..!! Who knows even you can be a STEVE one DAY..!!

Good Luck,

Want to know more about Steve Jobs and ideology of his working style and management style, then its a must buy. Excellent book gives you insight into many information about the brand Apple and how it evolved over years.

Well about the service from flipkart it had always been excellent.I used to get books delivered very next day.

As from the previous comments.....people do have some negative view on that.....but I would rather like to call it 'their mistake in pre-visualizing'.....this is not Steve's biography or Autobiography.....this is a particular view of Steve's close friend and his psychological advisor in his tenure during Apple Co. as a vice-president of the same, Jay Elliot......on how steve react to certain things....or 'problems' (a better word) and derive the solutions for the same......it's all about how Steve manages the same.....good for people who are psychologically strong enough to derive the 'do and dont's' from a master.....and good for easy read (fans).....it doesn't point like normal business books...."do this and that for success".....et al.....but who can grab the inner motive....takes it all....and believe me....it's helful and eases out few of your own dealings.....

There's a say.....few stuffs have been cleared by masters and you got to learn from it, expriment with it, and Implement it (if positive) or Discard it (if negative).....it just saves time from experimenting it from the zero level.....there's a lot more new stuffs you got to experiment (from zero) rather than experimenting what's already experimented before.....

For those with hillarious negative comments....."This book is much much better (not awesome ofcourse)"......"and"....."if you found it deceptive.....maybe this is not the right book for you.....or whatever you are looking for.....I mean....the straight forward one....(you understood).....alike the books of law suits.......'do's and dont's"...... ((-_^))

Took a while to read the book. I had to force myself to read the last 50 or so pages.

Well, the author does make efforts to make the readers understand Steve Jobs' persona and aura but this is done in very short incidents and I felt the book has no real advice to offer on Leadership like it is advertised on the cover. In fact, the author mentions incidents where he himself failed in his startups after quitting Apple.

The major disappointment was that there were no real guidelines for the readers on what THEY could do to imbibe his qualities (or maybe I was expecting too much!)

3/5 for the book
5/5 for the delivery by Flipkart
