How did that naive, arrogant, intense, headstrong Jobs turn into a super smart billionaire, a business artist driving the world crazy, and a spokesperson of the new American Dream?
From 1985 to 2000, this was the most important transformation period in Jobs' career, with a second venture, three failures, and an eventual comeback. *Follow Your Heart: Steve Jobs Began from Every Failure* focuses on this part of the story. In 1985, Steve was kicked out of Apple Inc., and as a "fallen hero," he started to make new choices for his life.
The author showcases how Jobs rose again after experiencing enormous setbacks over 15 years by interviewing colleagues, friends, and rivals who worked with Jobs.
Why did he almost give up on his career? The book reveals some details about negotiations with Disney, his friendship and competition with Bill Gates, conflicts with Silicon Valley and Hollywood cultures, and the methods Jobs realized regarding leadership, management, creativity, and innovation during these 15 years.
