Steve Jobs - louis030195

#business #philosophy I didn't recall Jobs was into [[Zen]], but at this epoch it seemed to be quite popular. Modern societies existential crises, [[Osho]] etc. He even did a pilgrimage to India before Apple. His strong will to think independently and break free from dogmas is probably a trait shared by many great men, such as [[Leonardo Da Vinci]] or [[Feynman]]. Jobs is kind of the father of [[Computing/Transhumanism]] trying thousands kind of way to augment man, and allow him to merge with machines thanks to Apple. # Goodreads review <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11084145-steve-jobs" style="float: left; padding-right: 20px"><img border="0" alt="Steve Jobs" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1511288482l/11084145._SX98_.jpg" /></a><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11084145-steve-jobs">Steve Jobs</a> by <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7111.Walter_Isaacson">Walter Isaacson</a> My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4269261429">5 of 5 stars</a> From hippie to innovator. His beginning in life as a hippie probably build-up the path to become the entrepreneur and innovator he became. His spiritual life made him understand deeply the nature of the mind and human beings, it was a great help in building what society wants but does not know how to get. Unlike most entrepreneur nowadays which do "market research", think in market, think competition, etc. he just thought for himself, independently, how to make something that augment humanity. - Competition is for losers - Understanding the mind, understanding the animal, unlocks innovation - Lindy Effect: from stone tablet to the iPad - From frictionful technology, to friction-less technology, closer and closer to our natural environment, stone tablets, computers, iPhone, iPad, airpod, iGlass, iBrain, iRobot <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/103091881-louis-beaumont">View all my reviews</a>
