Story
Quem é Elon Musk? Para muitos, um playboy, um marqueteiro manipulador ou um louco. Mas, para boa parte da elite corporativa e do Vale do Silício, Musk é como uma mistura de Steve Jobs e Bill Gates, um empreendedor visionário que está construindo um império—não à toa o chamam de "o Homem de Ferro da vida real". Entre suas metas, está colonizar Marte, e sua biografia, hoje, já é parte relevante da história. No livro, o experiente jornalista Ashlee Vance apresenta um olhar inédito sobre a vida e as realizações inacreditáveis do homem mais audacioso do Vale do Silício desde Steve Jobs.

Publisher's summary
De jovem arrogante e sem limites a um dos líderes mais eficientes e emblemáticos de nosso tempo. Como Steve Jobs virou Steve Jobs lança luz sobre uma das maiores realizações do cofundador e CEO da Apple: reinventar-se como o gestor que não só salvaria a Apple do fracasso, mas a elevaria a patamares jamais pensados.
A partir de entrevistas com amigos, familiares, parceiros e concorrentes de Jobs, os jornalistas Brent Schlender e Rick Tetzeli apresentam um retrato íntimo e detalhado jamais publicado sobre o empresário. Desde a fundação da Apple, passando pelos anos em que Jobs criou e presidiu a NeXT e comprou a Pixar, até o retorno à empresa que o consagrou, o que se vê é uma jornada de sucesso e lampejos de genialidade, mas também de fracassos homéricos e inúmeros golpes de sorte. O êxito assombroso de Jobs em criar os produtos certos—iMac, iPod, iPhone e iPad—teve como aliado em seus últimos anos de vida o foco no aprimoramento da empresa. E é esse estilo de gerenciamento maduro, combinado à inerente paixão irrefreável de Jobs, que, segundo os autores, deu origem a uma empresa única, cuja identidade até hoje se confunde com a de seu criador.
Uma obra inteligente e bem embasada que investiga a evolução de Jobs não só como empreendedor, mas como figura humana, mostrando que a imagem do jovem impetuoso, metade genial, metade detestável, que acabou se tornando o senso comum sobre Jobs, é apenas parte de sua marcante biografia.
Como Steve Jobs virou Steve Jobs é a única biografia de Jobs que teve contribuição dos mais altos executivos da Apple, entre eles o CEO Tim Cook. Em declaração oficial, a própria empresa abaliza: é o “único livro sobre Steve que quem o conheceu de verdade realmente recomenda”.
Brent Schlender cobriu a pauta Steve Jobs por mais de duas décadas para a Fortune e o Wall Street Journal, o que o tornou um dos jornalistas americanos mais próximos do empresário. Junto com Rick Tetzeli, editor-executivo da Fast Company, dedicou três anos às entrevistas e pesquisas que deram origem a esse audiolivro.
Please note: This audiobook is in Brazilian Portuguese.
Critic reviews
“O livro conseguiu revelar com maestria a evolução e a complexidade de uma pessoa realmente extraordinária. Espero que seja reconhecido como o livro definitivo sobre Steve Jobs.” (The New York Times)
“O jovem inexperiente, arrogante e impetuoso que fundou a Apple era bem diferente do homem maduro e perspicaz que voltou à criação decadente e a transformou na empresa responsável por produtos arrebatadores e líder da indústria tecnológica do nosso tempo.” (The New York Times)

After months of interrogations, he was sent to the US military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, as one of its first prisoners. Like the nearly 800 other men imprisoned at Guantanamo, Adayfi didn’t know why he was imprisoned or for how long. He had never seen a skyscraper and couldn’t imagine what the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center looked like, much less how they were destroyed.

In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement.

Writer Jessica Pan intends to find out. With the help of various extrovert mentors, Jessica sets up a series of personal challenges (talk to strangers, perform stand-up comedy, host a dinner party, travel alone, make friends on the road, and much, much worse) to explore whether living like an extrovert can teach her lessons that might improve the quality of her life.

For his victims, for their families and for the investigators tasked with finding him, the senselessness and brutality of the Golden State Killer's acts were matched only by the powerlessness they felt at failing to uncover his identity. Then, on April 24, 2018, authorities arrested 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo at his home in Citrus Heights, Calif., based on DNA evidence linked to the crimes. Amazingly, it seemed, evil finally had a name. Please note: This work contains descriptions of violent crime and sexual assault and may not be suitable for all listeners.

Story
A Room of One's Own, based on a lecture given at Girton College Cambridge, is one of the great feminist polemics. Woolf's blazing polemic on female creativity, the role of the writer, and the silent fate of Shakespeare's imaginary sister remains a powerful reminder of a woman's need for financial independence and intellectual freedom.
