Not the best ive read... Sadly. Overly edited and short choppy quotes that made little sense.

If there was ever a person who deserved the "wit and wisdom" treatment, it's Steve Jobs. I was impressed by the range of topics that Jobs' spoke about with knowledge and insight and this book does a great job of covering quotes and saying from his earliest days to the last moments of his life.
In a time of recession, it's great to hear Jobs wax poetic on the importance of keeping your people and continuing to invest in your company. A favorite quote was: "The cure for Apple is not cost cutting. The cure for Apple is innovation." Another that every business should follow is "quality is more important than quantity. One home run is better than two doubles."
There are also some important insights into life and death. A must read.

Really enjoyed the book. Steve Jobs was a fascinating man with revolutionary thoughts about business and life. I learned a lot and have a great sense of the man after reading through his essential quotations and ideas.
Love the straight forward manner of the editing and I find myself going back to this book over and over to re-read Jobs' nuggets of wisdom.

This book has lots of *words* said by Steve Jobs, but lacks his essence entirely. Bummer.
