The Steve Jobs guide to manipulating people and getting what you want

Jobs launched two of the most valuable and creative companies in modern times with Apple and Pixar - but he didn't reach those heights by following the rules all the time.

Jobs faced many obstacles to get Apple and Pixar off the ground. But he had a unique way of crafting his own reality, a "distortion field" he'd use to persuade people that his personal beliefs were actually facts, which is how he pushed his companies forward.

He also used a blend of manipulative tactics to ensure his victories, particularly in boardroom meetings with some of the most powerful company executives in the world.

Many consider Jobs a genius, and everyone can learn a thing or two from his tactics.

Here, we teach you how to get what you want - whether that's in your career, or in your life in general - by using examples from Jobs' life. Most of these stories were taken from Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs, which you can buy here.
