Apple, which he is the founder of, successfully leads the industry and it is estimated that more than one billion people are Apple users. So what&#8217;s behind this success? We can show Steve&#8217;s passion, business acumen and, of course, hard work. Then you might ask, what brought Steve to this point? The answer to this question cannot be explained only by the books he inspired, but it can be said that these books changed Steve&#8217;s life to a great extent.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">These books can contribute to your development as well. You can get a different inspiration without realizing it when you complete the series. There is no harm in reading Steve Jobs books.

He mentioned that at that time he often listened to music and read mostly literary works that were not related to science and technology.

The main subject of the tragedy is the decrepit monarchy, the events that took place on the way to destruction.<\/div>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1787826683754973\" data-ad-slot=\"5559211883\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"line nHR\">\n<hr>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Moby-Dick\"><\/span>2) Moby Dick<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nImage\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/wp-content\/images\/post\/user-5\/0tiod7.jpg\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">American writer Herman Melville&#8217;s epic novel Moby Dick is one of the novels that influenced young Steve. Walter Isaacson, who wrote the most comprehensive biography of Jobs, draws attention to the similarity between the character Captain Ahab and Steve Jobs in the novel.

His close friend at the time, Daniel Kottke, says of Jobs&#8217; change: &#8220;He&#8217;s become really serious and committed.
