Good biographies have the power to rouse in us some amount of enthusiasm and a positive outlook towards life. And this book surely reflects that capability. The book sheds light on the professional aspect of Steve Jobs’ life, together with the zest and never-give-up attitude that he possessed. In the process the book also educates its readers about assumptions and other fixed notions that we tend to hold onto and which in turn acts as a hindrance to our success.The book traces Jobs’ educational and professional trajectory, how he lived life on his own terms and emerged successful due to his grit and determination. The main facet that is highlighted is the fact that he was always willing to learn from his mistakes/failures rather than being subdued by them; an important lesson that we tend to forget most of the times. The book is divided into chapters focusing on different phases of his life and the chapters are further divided into certain key events in Jobs’ life. The key events have interesting headlines, it highlights facts and makes the book interesting to read.
