"Steve Jobs" {by Walter Isaacson} Book Club Ideas

My first thought upon reading Steve Jobs:

"Wait, this book isn't all computer jargon and technical terms I don't care about. This book is about this passionate (and brutally blunt) guy named Steve who does amazing things in a crazy way and I think I need to know more!"

I was sucked into this book right away and learned much more than I had ever anticipated.

I learned:
-To pay attention to the details
-To focus on my loves in life
-To sell dreams, not products
-To take risks and find creative solutions
-I learned that patience beats speed (I need to implement this!)
-And if nothing else, Steve taught me that I need to TRUST in myself more.
I couldn't resist, this made me laugh!

Chanel came to book club channeling her inner Steve Jobs!
(She makes Steve's book look GOOOOOOD right?)

This book club was our annual COUPLES meeting where spouses were encouraged to read along and attend. We love the different perspective the guys bring to our discussions and we always have a great evening!


LET'S EAT! 
Below is the VEGAN menu we hoped Steve would approve of!
(Let's be honest, he would change SOMETHING if not everything right?!)

Kitch and I are doing our darnedest to show as many APPLE things in one photo
mainly because I wanted a picture with her because our shirts matched LOL!

Beth and Angie made these RAD APPLE icon cookies for the meeting
Bethany created these GORGEOUS APPLE icon sugar cookies for one of our desserts and YES, they tasted as good as they look!

LET'S PLAY!
Steve Jobs Book Club Game
Instead of a typical presentation, Bethany came up with an Apple matching game.
We were put in pairs of two and had to find two matching Apple products, icons, and important people etc to earn points. BUT, if you didn't get a match on your first time, you had the opportunity to "earn" another guess by answering a discussion question or by doing a book related activity.
GENIUS!!
We all had a great time playing and discussing along the way.

YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE DISCUSSION QUESTIONS AND ACTIVITIES BELOW!
You can download Apple's timeline of photos HERE which is what we used for the matching game.

Ahh, not a match, maybe next time ;-)

The top two teams won a fabulous prize!
(complete with Job's favorite "thinking tool" LSD!)



Do you want to know something serendipitously crazy cool?
We had NO idea when we choose this book over a year ago that they had planned to make a movie of it and we certainly had no idea that the movie was planning to be released the week of our book club meeting to discuss it!!!
We all thought that was some Steve Jobs karma!

Watch the "JOBS" movie trailer below.
 

 So, are you convinced yet that you need to read this intriguing, thought provoking, frustrating, eye-opening, honest, inspiring and entertaining book yet?

I ordered this book some time ago but haven’t gotten the time to pick it up and read because I had to write my dissertation. Now, I am not going to read this post because I don’t like to spoil the experience. For the same reason I don’t watch trailers before watching a movie. That’s just my way of going about it.

I bought this book a while ago but haven't had time to read it because I've been working on Case Study Writing Service In Lahore. I'm not going to read this post now since I don't want to ruin the experience. For the same reason, I don't watch trailers before attending a movie. That's exactly how I go about things.

The attention to detail in this ted lasso jacket for sale is impeccable. It's clear that the designers took inspiration from the character of Ted Lasso and translated his winning personality into a wearable piece of art. It's a testament to the power of positive thinking and good fashion sense
