Reddit mentions of Steve Jobs

I've read Hatching Twitter: A True Story of Money, Power, Friendship, and Betrayal.

That gave a really interesting insight into how Twitter got founded. You might also like Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson.

I know it's not a book specifically about a company, but it goes into the founding of Apple, the hiring of some key and not so key employees and into him operating his other computer company NeXT and Pixar at the same time.

Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson is pretty good. He did a great job of explaining what Jobs did, why he did it, his past life and what inspired him to do what he did. I also think the book helps you think more about why he Steve Jobs acted the way he did. He pushed people to their limits and to the best products with the best design and taught people to never settle. His vision of what computers and future tech should look like and his tough attitude are the qualities people praise when calling him innovative and a world-changer.

Also, you kind of get a peak at how he always had an independent spirit. Someone early on inspired him to cherish great design.

Here's a link to the book, it has great design too! https://www.amazon.com/dp/1501127624/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_qtcGxbSTMBJ81

I like biographies of famous people a lot.

Augustus, by Anthony Everitt: I find Augustus fascinating because his rise to power was one of the very very few examples in history where a Trio of teenagers defeated their enemies against overwhelming odds and succeeded creating an order lasting for more than two centuries. (The Principate stopped working after Septimius Severus took power in 193AD)

FDR, by Jean Edward Smith: FDR is simply my favorite US president.

Titan, The Life of John D. Rockefeller, by Ron Chernow: Rockefeller was born in a very poor family, never had an university education, and became a billionaire by the end of 19th century. Regardless how you view him today, his rise made an excellent story.

Steve Jobs, by Walter Isaacson: He was a jerk, but also a genius. His love/hate relationship with Bill Gates is story for the ages. This book also shines some good insight into the tech industry. I have to say this book helped me making lots of money in stocks.
