ABOUT THE BOOK

French Women Dont Get Fat, by Mireille Guiliano, soared to the top of the New York Times Best Seller List in 2005, offering millions of American women insight on how their Euro counterparts managed to stay slender even though they indulged in decadent food and wine.

The book remained popular for a number of years due to its wonderful content and easy-to-use exercise, diet, and lifestyle tips. Despite these useful resources, it never gained the same celebrity as another French-based sensation, The Dukan Diet.

When Dukan made its North American debut in April 2011, its cover featured a plate with two Eiffel Towers and the defiant words, The Real Reason The French Stay Thin.

Though shes no Frenchwoman, Kate Middleton unintentionally emerged as The Dukan Diets celebrity spokeswoman in 2011 as she prepared for her spring wedding with Prince William. According to the Los Angeles Times, Middleton noticeably dropped a couple of dress sizes, allegedly due to the diet created by Dr. Pierre Dukan.

Based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing.

At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its innovative edge, and when societies around the world are trying to build digital-age economies, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the twenty-first century was to connect creativity with technology. He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering.  

Although Jobs cooperated with this book, he asked for no control over what was written nor even the right to read it before it was published. He put nothing off-limits. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and the innovative products that resulted.
