Reviews

"This is a great book to read even if just to find out how other companies work. I think you'll find that there is a big contrast between most companies think innovation is - and what Steve Jobs thinks it is. Lots to learn from this book and I found it stirred up a lot of emotion and motivation for me and I'm sure it will for you. When you find yourself in a difficult situation, ask yourself: What would Steve do?" - Amazon reviewer

"The number of ideas reader/listener gets while digesting it's content is enormous. Your bulb will be exploding during each chapter. Great, creative, innovative ideas for both business and private spheres." - Kirkus Reviews

"This audio book radically changes perception about branding products, and life in general. Steve Jobs didn't just see a Mac as another beautiful computer, but rather, a product that would allow people to change the world. He sold dream, not just products" - AudioFiles

"This book is a fine sequel to its predecessor: Presentations Secrets of Steve Jobs. In this work, the author focuses on innovation techniques on how to improve our business and take them to the next level. What greater innovator to learn from than Steve Jobs himself." - The Telegraph

"If I were to sum up one main point in the whole book, its to have a VISION for your company or product. In order to be big, we all must Think Big. To me, that is the theme of the book. Its sets us apart from the rest and helps lead us to success." - PC World
