Make Something Wonderful is a posthumous collection of Steve Jobs' wisdom, released more than 11 years after the Apple co-founder's death. Compiled by a small group of family, friends, and former colleagues, the book offers an intimate view of Jobs' life and thoughts through his notes, drafts, letters, speeches, oral histories, interviews, photos, and mementos. Made available for free online, it is published by the Steve Jobs Archive and can be found on Apple Books and the Steve Jobs Archive website.[1]
The book was designed by LoveFrom, a firm founded by Jony Ive, Apple's former chief design officer, and its minimalist gray and white aesthetic reflects Apple's signature style. Laurene Powell Jobs, Steve Jobs' wife of 20 years, wanted people to directly experience her husband's writing and work without any intermediary.[2]
Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, is distributing a hardcover copy of the book to Apple employees as a reminder of the company's purpose to create products that enrich lives and leave the world a better place. The book serves as a warning to ground technology in humanity during a time when AI is causing societal upheaval and ethical debates.
The 250-page book, which grew from an initial 40-page pamphlet, features previously unpublished photos and focuses on Jobs' inner thoughts, philosophies, and mantras more than his business decisions or corporate leadership. Its content, ordered chronologically, offers an intimate view of Jobs' life, showcasing his desire to give back his knowledge and nurture younger people, most evident in his commencement speeches.[3]
Make Something Wonderful serves as a testament to Steve Jobs' lasting impact and legacy, offering readers a rare and candid glimpse into the mind of one of the most influential figures in modern technology.
