Ended up... this is really not my cup of tea. Reason... I found it hard to combine philosophy with great entrepreneurship by Steve Jobs. Well, the author may sound it right throughout the book. However, I personally view philosophy as something unique. After all, the philosophy is from the Greek for "love of wisdom". Steve Jobs did great stuff during his glorious times. But, I think he did that out of his amazing imagination and creativity. As such, to tie it up with philosophy... it seems too hard on my side.
Furthermore, this book although focus on the so called "philosophy"; I tend to treat it like a biography. Well, the author used a lot of references throughout the book. The "philosophy" parts are then inserted throughout the "biography" part. The author may have his own opinion. However, it certainly does not represent everybody's minds. If I was Steve Job, I think I prefer "Steve Jobs" by Walter Isaacson or "The Steve Jobs Way". At least, I do not think Steve Jobs prefers to be a philosopher too, LOL.
Well, some readers may enjoy reading this book. But, I am definitely not the one. Perhaps... "Steve Jobs" by Walter Isaacson are too excellent to compares with this book. Relatively, I am hundred percent with the former. As such, for a full rating of 10, I am rating this book at 2/10. This might not be a bad book. But, I just do not really like it...
