Steve Jobs, by Walter Isaacson. Surprised me in many ways.
STEVE JOBS BY WALTER ISAACSON -It was an illuminating read to me.
I enjoyed the Steve Jobs book too, I liked the fact that he believed in what he was working on (no matter how crazy or disruptive) and saw so much beauty in perfection. There's a lot we can learn from his persistence and attitude towards persevering in the face of failure.
Einstein or Leonardo da Vinci or Steve Jobs, by Walter Isaacson
"Steve Jobs" - needs no introduction. Got me interested in Isaacson's other books.
Steve Jobs Biography - This was way back before I moved to states and gave me an intro to states as well as S.V
