The book "Small Fry" by Lisa Brennan-Jobs, the co-founder's eldest daughter, is due to be released in a few weeks. AppSteve Jobs. Brennan-Jobs focused primarily on her not-so-easy relationship with her father in her book. As part of the book's promotion, Lisa gave an interview in which she explained the content of her publication to the public.
It is not difficult to guess that most of the memories that Lisa shared in her book are related to her father's emotional coldness. But at the same time, she insists that the book is not intended to cast a bad light on Jobs, and that she wanted to treat it more as a family portrait. Lisa Brennan-Jobs began work on the book "Small Fry" in 2011, not long after her father died.
The book is not only about Jobs, but also about Lisa's mother, Chrisann Brennan. She is depicted here as a free thinker who fully supported her daughter's creativity. Lisa also describes her mother as an impulsive, hot-blooded person. Chrisann Brennan has already read the book and admits that it was not easy for her.

In the book, Lisa describes, among other things, how problematic Jobs handled money. "Sometimes he just decided at the last minute not to pay for something," he writes, adding that he was able to leave the restaurant without paying the bill. When Lisa's mother discovered the house she wanted and asked Jobs to buy it for her and Lisa, Steve agreed that it was really nice, but bought it for himself and moved into it with his wife, Lauren.
But the book also mentions happy moments in which Jobs' spontaneity and unconventional thinking played a major role. When Lisa went on a school trip to Japan, Jobs showed up unannounced and spent the whole day with her. "I was afraid of him, but at the same time, I felt a fluttering, electrifying love," admits Lisa, adding that she wishes the scene describing the roller-skating ride together would go as viral as the one in which Jobs announces to her , that she will not inherit anything from him. Lisa admits that at the very end of his life, her father apologized to her for everything - for not spending enough time with her, for forgetting her birthday and for not calling her back often. Jobs once told her that he didn't treat her well because she didn't invite him to her Harvard matriculation, but later admitted that he owed her an apology.
It's not for nothing that they say that the bigger the genius, the bigger the beast ;) Personally, I don't care and I partially understand it, but I wouldn't want such a father. But this is simply part of success
One of the reasons I hated it Apple (another was that App(l is for snobs) was mainly that Jobs was simply a characterless asshole who behaved like a beast! Definitely, that is not part of success!
I also know modest good people who are successful and it didn't get to their head. It's about the fact that their essence was good.
Well, okay.oneI grew up with it and started using Apple. TOoneIt is no longer perceived as something for snobs :-) But I still have iPhone in the packaging so that no one would recognize it at first glance.
Well, he probably wasn't a good person, but a visionary and a psychopath... without that, it probably wouldn't have been possible to achieve what he achieved. And lots of luck, of course…
That's bullshit again. Have you ever heard or read the slightest complaint from his wife Lauren, or from his three children he has with Lauren? Unlike Lisa and her mother Brennan, they were with him "every day". It is known about Brennan that she is a tight-lipped hysteric who primarily took out her own pet peeves on Jobs, which Jobs simply hated, and of course her "upbringing" was completely reflected in Lisa's controversial behavior. To condemn Jobs based on the "expression" of a woman he did not want to marry is pure naivety. There is nothing worse than a disgraced woman. PS: Happiness is not an accident.
Ah... So the people who knew Jobs and described him as a beast actually just didn't know him as well as his wife Lauren :-D Good
How "lucky" was Jobs? He was "just" a great visionary, that's where it all begins and ends, a man for many people nestAlas for nothing! However, a lot of the work was DONE by the people who worked for him... so I guess.
But feel free to idealize him, after all, no one would want to use products from a "monster".
