I got it and perused it between meetings. A lot of the quotes and sayings are familiar to us. The photos are neat. The design is exceptional (considering it came from LoveFrom I'm not surprised). I think anyone who finds inspiration from Steve will love this. Naturally it doesn't go anywhere near the complications of the man, nor is that the point. But its also worth remembering Steve wasn't Steve without his very big pros and his very big cons; being a man of extremes was the essence of Steve.

I think people will love this. And the price is right. I'd definitely pay for a coffee table version.

Just picked this up on Apple Books. From my reading so far it’s a thoughtful and deeply personal recollection of his philosophy and life path. I don’t remember reading at least some of these quotes so they’re new to me at the very least.

What a great way to remember Steve, and with a book that’s free for everyone.

I lived Steve Jobs in its full glory and I’m still alive to see how Apple is doing without him. Steve wanted to make something wonderful, not to make the biggest richest tech company. Thanks Steve, I miss you every day.
