Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson. Recommended by 30 sources.
“Isaacson’s biography pulls from numerous interviews to chronicle Steve Jobs’s life, from tech visionary to difficult boss. It shows the obsessive details and blunt personality through testimony from those who worked with him. The narrative can become repetitive with product launches and boardroom conflicts. You may admire the innovation but feel worn down by the extensive accounts of personal callousness and friction. It’s a long, detailed account that demands patience and a tolerance for emotional turbulence.”
