Guy and the Woz

Guy Kawasaki Guy Kawasaki, the former Apple evangelist, got a prerelease copy of the upcoming book, I, Woz, which we’ve talked about before (many times).

I didn’t work directly with Woz in my tours of duty at Apple, so much of the material was new—and fascinating—to me. I loved the book because it isn’t the typical theoretical tome written by an expert or consultant (i.e., someone who can’t do but can write).

Instead, the book takes you inside the mind of someone who was truly instrumental in one of the great revolutions of our time. After reading it, I was even more proud of having worked for Apple. Also, I swear that Woz doesn’t use the word “strategic” once in the book—how many business books can you say that about?

Guy says it all and pulled some choice parts from the book. If you’ve pre-ordered and can’t wait, you must read.
