Learn how Steve Jobs evolved from a brilliant but self-sabotaging young CEO into one of the most iconic figures in corporate history. This biography is written with first-hand access to Jobs' entourage and former colleagues.

Apple's founder Steve Jobs was referred to by many as a 'genius a**hole.' However, this analogy overlooks one of the most important parts of his story.

Brent Schlender is a technology journalist who knew Jobs for over 25 years and whom the entrepreneur counted as a friend.

Rick Tetzeli is a writer, editor, and former executive editor of Fast Company.

In Becoming Steve Jobs, the pair chronicle his remarkable life and how the CEO learned to become both a better manager and a gentler character.
