LIFE BY DESIGN: STEVE JOBS AND THE GRADUATION SPEECH THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING(更新书名：STEVE JOBS’ LIFE BY DESIGN: LESSON TO BE LEARNED FROM HIS LAST LECTURE)

Book ID/图书代码： 08900014B67578

English Summary/英文概要： On June 12, 2005, Steve Jobs gave his first—and only—commencement address, to the 114th graduating class at Stanford University, an audience of approximately 23,000. They witnessed history: Jobs’ 22-minute prepared speech subsequently reached 26 million online viewers worldwide. It is by far the most popular commencement address in history, framed with “three stories” that succinctly summed up the most important lessons Jobs learned in life. Life-changing lessons, he explained, can only be connected when looking back, which he had done in preparation for his talk.

Steve Jobs’ Life by Design starts with Jobs’ own words in the text of his talk and expands outward from there. In the address, Jobs gave us the dots, but he didn’t have the luxury of time to connect them. So much about his life, his viewpoint, and his personal and business philosophies were mentioned but not explained. We know what he said, but what actually did he mean? What can we learn from him?

This book connects those dots. We see Jobs’ life and career through his own eyes, in context, and in proper perspective. His process of looking back illuminated his life—and by doing so, he serves as an inspiration to illuminate our lives as well.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 史蒂夫•乔布斯的生活创意始于乔布斯自己的谈话文本和其他相关的著名演讲稿。在这本书展红，乔布斯给我们指出了方向,但他没有充裕的时间去将这些创意理念运用到一起。那么多关于他的生活,他的观点,他的个人和商业哲学被提及但没有诠释。我们知道他说过什么,但实际上他的这些论点背后的深意是什么?我们可以从他身上学到什么呢?
这本书将这些盲点链接到了一起。我们可以透过乔布斯的眼睛,和文字，以及合适的角度，看到他的生活和事业。通过这些回述我们回望了他精彩的一生,以及他照亮我们的生活的灵感。 (Sandy)

Awards/获奖情况：“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”—Steve Jobs’ commencement address to Stanford graduates on June 12, 2005

“I’ve spent much of my working life as an ‘imagineer’ with the Walt Disney Company. As George Beahm’s Steve Jobs’ Life By Design makes clear, there are a number of striking similarities and parallels between Walt Disney and Steve Jobs: their passion for innovation and excellence, their willingness to trust their gut feelings and to take creative risks, and their ability to recognize, recruit and manage talent. Genius, in both cases.”—Tim Kirk, 22-year veteran of Walt Disney Imagineering, overall senior designer for Tokyo DisneySea
