The biography, Jony Ive: The Genius Behind Apple's Greatest Products by Leander Kahney (2013). When folks hear the name Jony Ive, the probably think of white rooms and glorious adjectives describing what may seem to be the simplest subjects. But John Ive is more than that. Even in school, Ive had a passion for design and worked to make this creations beautiful and functional both inside as well as outside. It was his eye and his passion that caused Apple executives to attempt three times to “head-hunt” Ive into Apply, finally getting him on the third try. And it was this passion that eventually led Jony to become Apple's lead designer prior to the return of Steve Jobs, and for Steve Jobs and Ive to bond closely as they remade Apple in the years that followed. I think the book is a good read. And I would recommend this biography to anyone with an interest in design, an interest in Apple, or just an interest in very passionate people.
