"Make Something Wonderful" is filled with inspirational words and rare photos.

Over the course of his regretfully short life, Steve Jobs was many things: thinker, doer, genius, jerk, billionaire, philosopher, saint.

A new memoir, entitled Make Something Wonderful: Steve Jobs in his own words, tells the Apple co-founder’s life story in elegant fashion.

In the intro to the book, released for free today as an e-book and as a “custom web experience,” his wife Laurene Powell Jobs describes him as an “exquisite thinker” and says the book serves up his “insights into what it means to be human.”

It’s a delightful and motivational book, filled with inspirational stories and rare photos — some never before seen by the public. Download it now, and go out and change the world for the better … just like Steve did.
