This book provides a rich and revealing account of Steve Jobs' life, drawing on exclusive access to his family, former inner circle executives, and top people at Apple, Pixar, and Disney.

It humanizes Jobs by explaining his behavior and highlighting his growth from a brash founder to a mature and effective leader.
