Minimalist with an instinctive grasp of the basics

Thus one could describe the feeling, thinking and designing the lifestyle designer Steve Jobs in a sentence.
Walter Isaacson has worked well. He must have collected and structured tons of material in years of painstaking work. A variety of conversations with companions of jobs have probably only give the central theme. Isaacson begins very, very front, shows the circumstances on, was born into the job and leaves the reader throughout the book recognize through which extent the trauma of the early realization of an adoption in the life of Steve Jobs probably had. Youth and school years are set out in detail, but are never boring or protracted. Early, lasting impressions as the Bauhaus style, the encounter with Wozniak, Zen Buddhism and other pillars reveal a basic structure in which the intellectual work is play. Equally helpless Steve Jobs appears interpersonal at all. Isaacson has been able to work out very well as the technical challenges thinkers always reduced to the core of the problem and from there, driven by a crystal-clear vision in relatively few steps to develop a solution that is seemingly obvious. Good solutions are for jobs simple and clear, and only on this basis can develop good products. This resulted in him a rating scale that was only good or bad cards. Unfortunately, he has applied this scale in humans. An uncompromising thinkers first rate, but the hardest pace.
The early expulsion was probably the best thing that could happen to Jobs. His method of creation of uncompromisingly good initially driven to the brink of ruin and him in the obligation to Pixar. The cinema success of his Pixar products then bestowed the overwhelming economic turnaround. With the return to Apple Jobs has his way through pulled mercilessly. The realization product oriented and not mass-oriented development, founded the late success of his 'Gravenstein apple'. He could by the huge financial success with Pixar and its associated economic independence, this view also afford.
Walter Isaacson describes very finely chased the vision of a minimalist aesthetes. Unfortunately, the last two pages are not as well organized, which is well-founded by Jobs' early death. Obviously in a hurry in the publication of the book was offered suddenly.
The book shows great weaknesses of jobs in all that has to do with people. A great leader he was not quite certain. In everything that has to do with idea generation and product development, the extremely high potential can, however, easily guessed. Basically remained Steve Jobs but his life - despite family and a few friends - a lonely person.
The structure of the book did not take place in time chronologically, but themed, which is a valuable structural aid. They succeeded Isaacson to discuss closed topics transparent.
A great book.
