Becoming Steve Jobs by Brent Schlender and Rick Tetzeli | Summary & Analysis - IRB Media
SUMMARY
So much has been written about the late Steve Jobs that Brent Schlender and his co-author, Rick Tetzeli, wisely begin their biography with a prologue that explains why they wrote yet another biography of the Apple co-founder. Schlender, a former reporter for the Wall Street Journal and Fortune, became close to Jobs over twenty-five years of interviews, and was one of the few journalists Jobs trusted. They were the same age, shared a similar middle-class background, and even suffered severe health crises at the same time. When Jobs died, Schlender realized that his portrayal in the media remained inaccurate. Jobs was perceived as a genius whose abilities had been undermined by his egocentric, volatile, and demanding personality. The real Jobs was more complex, more human, more sentimental, and even more intelligent
(Prologue, EPUB), especially after undergoing a metamorphosis during his exile from Apple from 1985 to 1997, when the whiz kid grew up and learned understanding, patience, wisdom, and compassion. This was not widely recognized, however, because the old Jobs had not vanished. So Becoming Steve Jobs aims to show both sides of a complex man.
The biography opens with an account of a 1979 meeting engineered by Jobs’ friend, Larry Brilliant, to launch the Seva Foundation, which was intended to battle blindness. Invitees included yogi Ram Dass, counterculture icon Wavy Gravy, and Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead. Jobs thought the group was naïve and kept interrupting to tell them they needed to hire a marketing guru. After Jobs was asked to leave, Brilliant found him crying in the parking lot. This was a perfect example of Jobs at age 24. He was an impatient know-it-all, rude, brash,
