"Your time is limited. . . . have the courage to follow your heart and intuition." ―Steve Jobs

From the start, his path was never predictable. Steve Jobs was given up for adoption at birth, dropped out of college after one semester, and at the age of twenty, created Apple in his parents' garage with his friend Steve Wozniack. Then came the core and hallmark of his genius--his exacting moderation for perfection, his counterculture life approach, and his level of taste and style that pushed all boundaries. A devoted husband, father, and Buddhist, he battled cancer for over a decade, became the ultimate CEO, and made the world want every product he touched.

Critically acclaimed author Karen Blumenthal takes us to the core of this complicated and legendary man while simultaneously exploring the evolution of computers. Framed by Jobs' inspirational Stanford commencement speech and illustrated throughout with black and white photos, this is the story of the man who changed our world.

The name of my biography is called Steve Jobs The Man Who Thought Different. The author of this book is called Karen Blumenthal, who is also the illustrator. It is about Steve Jobs' life and how he made modern technology. As a child, he had many challenges, but when he grew older, he had even more. Steve Jobs was the man who thought different, saw the world differently, and made the world different. The main lesson Steve Jobs learned that you should never give up.Steve Jobs faced many hardships. For example, Steve Jobs was adopted and fired from Apple. Later on, he overcame these challenges by getting a new family and making two new companies after he was fired from Apple. Even though he had a rough childhood, he became the tech celebrity that we know today. Steve Jobs, at a point, was a selfish man and sometimes put work before family. But gradually, he started spending more time with family members that he never talked to. In conclusion chose this book because I wanted to do Steve Jobs for my project. If you are doing a project like me, I would recommend this book because it has a lot of information on Steve Jobs. it is also a good book to read for fun since it is clear, detailed, and is very interesting. My unanswered question to Steve Jobs is that why did you have such high expectations for your co-workers?
