內容簡介 【比爾蓋茲推薦書單：歷年推薦】向賈伯斯致敬我們無法想像 沒有賈伯斯的時代因為賈伯斯 世界變的更美好讓世界記得真正的賈伯斯賈伯斯生前唯一授權傳記這本賈伯斯唯一授權的傳記，完整記載他的一生。但這本書談的不只是賈伯斯。人人都知道賈伯斯不遺餘力地捍衛隱私，這位傳奇性的企業家從未寫過回憶錄，但他在兩年間，接受本書作者艾薩克森多達四十次的深入訪談，並允許他遍訪他的朋友、親戚、競爭對手、仇人和同事，總數超過一百人。艾薩克森寫出「最真實的賈伯斯」，書中描述這位創造力旺盛的企業家雲霄飛車般驚險刺激的一生。賈伯斯執著的個性、追求完美的熱情和狂猛的驅力推動六大產業革命，包括個人電腦、動畫、音樂、電話、平板電腦和數位出版。這不只是賈伯斯的故事，也是一本談創新的書。在這個數位時代，很多企業都努力走在創新的最前頭，許多國家也汲汲於建立創新經濟，但就獨創、想像和創新，賈伯斯無疑是標竿人物。他深知要在二十一世紀創造出有價值的東西，必然要讓創造力和科技結合，因此他打造的公司，不但要有跳躍的想像力，更要呈現鬼斧神功般的科技工藝。賈伯斯和蘋果的同事就是能力行不同「凡想」的一群人：他們不只精益求精，推出改良的產品，也設計、生產出全新的產品或服務，讓不知道自己需要這種產品的消費者大為驚豔。儘管賈伯斯對本書撰寫充分配合，卻不要求控管內容，也不要求出版前先看過。甚至鼓勵認識他的敵人或前女友跟作者談談，他也不曾設限。賈伯斯旺盛的企圖心就像一把火，不但鞭策自我，也讓周遭的人受不了。但他的個性和熱情已和他的產品密不可分，就像蘋果的硬體和軟體已結合成一個整體。我們可從他的人生故事得到啟發、學到教訓，但就創新、個性、領導力和價值而言，他絕對是最好的學習教材。 本中文書介出自《賈伯斯傳》遠見天下文化出版出版‘This is a riveting book, with as much to say about the transformation of modern life in the information age as about its supernaturally gifted and driven subject’ – TelegraphBased on more than forty interviews with Steve Jobs conducted over two years – as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues – this is the acclaimed, internationally bestselling biography of the ultimate icon of inventiveness.Walter Isaacson tells the story of the rollercoaster life and searingly intense personality of creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies,music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing.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. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and the innovative products that resulted."
