I ordered this to give to my brother in law who’s in the computer industry & I remember had mentioned Rob Janoff after reading about him in something else he was reading that had to do with Apple.
I was happy to see it was very cute in appearance & not that long of a book so I read it myself before sending it along to him!
This is written in a very intimate way like the author is speaking to you in his own words. It doesn’t feel edited to death where the personality of who’s writing it is erased but it’s still polished and cleanly written.
There’s some great behind the scenes info about the beginnings of Apple computer. Rob Janoff’s part in history is inspiring , funny in moments & puts together an interesting & essential piece of the history of Apple.
I liked the way the author is not self indulgent about his life apart from the topic of the book but does give us a good sense of who he is & what led him to the creative moment at Apple & then beyond.
It’s a very well structured book with relevant visuals scattered throughout which complimented his story.
I’m going to buy a few more as gifts for younger family members as it’s light handed inspiration about working hard, patience & the creative process. Great lessons from a wise man & his flashes of genius.
Enjoy!
