@@ryannt She gave him up because her father did not want her to marry a Lebanese man. I am not criticizing her. After her father died she married him and left her and Steve's sister Mona. His adoptive parents were very good to him. He always considered them his parents.
They may not have liked her version of her story but they should respect it. It’s beautifully written and Steve should’ve been more proud of such a tough and loving heart.
maybe its her fast dominant extraverted thinking processing through her introverted sensing auxiliary function if she is an ESTJ type like he was said to be. each type uses different cognitive functions in different order to process layers of toughts and information
I've been reading the book and I recommend it to anyone who wants to understand how a father who is enjoys rejecting people can injure his daughter. After rejecting Lisa completely when she was small, Jobs gradually accepted her into his life, but she was always terrified that he would reject her and abandon her. Lisa was focused on her father because he was her father, but his wealth and fame also magnified her fascination and her fear of his rejection. Tough read.
well I think we should look at it from an objective perspective. Steve and his partner were not married and hence his concerns that he may not be the real father were genuine. He maybe knew about her character. I mean we are talking about 1980s when technology was not very advanced. He had only his partner's words. Such things are complicated. But later he left her an inheritance.
@@brajeshsingh2391 objective perspective means looking at facts. His paternity results are facts. Opinions on her personality would be a subjective perspective.
She was a bit controlling too. As she sure saddled him with a child he had no say so in. And then demanded he behave like a willing decision maker to have a child in the first place.
Wow he was so cruel to her and her mom??? Every rejection must have been like a stab in her back when she was a kid, and he did it so publicly. I can see mixed emotions inside Lisa. I am seeing tears well up in her eyes, her eyes are glossy when she talks about her father. There's a lot of unresolved emotions within her. But of course the other family saw Steve differently. He treated them totally different from the way he treated her when she was little.
@@RamMohammadJosephKaur who knows only Jobs truly knows why he acted like he did. He even denied the paternal test when it came back that he is the father. It took years until he claimed his daughter much thanks to his sister Mona Simpson. His sister got through to him. Genius are seldom nice people privately.
The thing about her "family" being upset about her book, they weren't around to see how he was with her, Lisa was. Yeah Steve probably was a better father the second time around but doesn't change how he was with Lisa. Steve's widow is just mad because of how much Lisa described her as being cruel, cold, and distant to her, at the time, a kid.
Absolute dumb questions and out of context phrases. Didnt let her speak without interruption. Terrible job. So insensitive, specally when she asks about de death of steve. This made my mind upset. Choose silence in the end.
There was something very wrong with Steve Jobs. From reading several books, it seems clear that not only did he feel rejected by his birth parents, but there were also issues with his adoptive parents. In one of the books, his mother said she could not bond with him as a baby because she felt the birth mother might come back for him and even as a toddler, she wanted to give him up. Lack of bonding with a mother has severe consequences.
Lisa may have some similar facial features like her father but the vibe she gives off is totally different. She seems like a warm hearted person. 加油 💪🏻 Lisa!

Very good for your daughter, bad for your chances to become a billionaire and become a tech godhead. Tunnel vision and maniacal focus of purpose giveth and taketh away.
I’m sad to say that there are a lot more parents who put their kids in the middle of their divorce or adult issues. I know mine did and I resent both of them for it. I feel that due to his wealth, he was easier to forgive. In reality, she can’t change what happened, money can buy SOME happiness.
Rejection never ever goes away. You learn to live with it but ever so often it surfaces. He had lots of holes in his life which he wrapped around every bit of his personal life. People distance themselves from others who should be important to them , most times to avoid being hurt. He never forgave his dad for not being in his life from what I can see. I’m sure it goes much deeper than that!♥️
Wow what a tremendous young women. I love her phases and how she explains things truely it took courage to write this its her truth and she was there bottom line. Good luck Lisa! and well done!
I agree. I thought this was a terrible interview. The book was so well-written and to be honest it was a profound story regardless of her father being Steve Jobs (it reminds me of Glass Castle in a way). It seems like Hoda was just trying to sensationalize the "steve jobs" part of the story when the book wasn't really about him. It was about a struggling little girl who had two parents that often didn't act like mature adults. This book was terrific and again had very little to do with the fact her dad was famous.
I can't either! I remember fondly all those years prior when Steve Jobs and Apple seemed like the same and inseparable things. For some time I wondered how Apple would survive without him there, still is sad to me. I'm sorry about your mama
Thank you Lisa for writing this book. What a life! So much that you went through and you still appear so resilient, evidenced by your responses in this interview. Also, I feel the book would give us a glimpse of the very human side of the brilliant genius, Steve Jobs.
You little liar. I’ve loved you all your life but now you lie because you don’t understand what he was really about with you. He loved you so much and I hope you figured it out had a later age
Your mother asked me if she should support you and I couldn’t answer her because I had my child who is about three years older than you. I cannot believe both of you wrote such trash about Steve because a lot of it was not true. You just wanted his money, which was an effort just because you wanted it he was not like that, but he never ignored either one of you, paid for both of you after he realized you were his child
good for you Lisa for claiming your own voice. I know it is hard to do when you have a parent that has a prominent social standing. I am trying to come to that myself. You spoke eloquently. Blessings to you and yours
@@garyenwards1608 she did explained well. She had being spraying roses ascent on her and he was right. It smelled like toilet. The little toilet sachet roses smell.
How sad that he missed out on the most important things in his life, and didn't realize it till the end. I'm sad for his daughter; as a little girl, and the adult she is today....
Lisa’s book arrived the same day of this interview. All she wanted was a father & growing up she didn’t have him. Very happy & sad events. Good read for sure! 😢👏🏼💕☹️💕👏🏼💕👏🏼
This is such an awkward interview to watch. She seems to by physically having like ticks in reaction to try and answer questions about her emotions and being faced with the cruel childhood it seems she hasn’t fully processed her emotions.
Rebecca Lunceford: It’s easy to simple distinguish her with some kind of a tick. The reality of it is she is not one who freely gives interviews and the subject matter that she’s talking about is quite sensitive. I see it as she was nervous giving her answers without having the ability to edit them once they were spoken. I challenge you all to give an interview and have your words flow ever so perfectly.
Lisa's inheritance made her the 58th richest person in the world, and the 6th richest woman. I'm sure her inheritance was better than a few apple shares.
Makes me think of when julian lennon visited john lennon in nyc when sean was real young. I recall julian saying that he wished that john was present when he was a child. This book is just like that. She seems like the outcast child especially since she acts and looks like steve
I read the book and thought it was excellent. She deserves a lot of credit for making it on her own, as does her mom imo for bringing her up as a single mom for the most part. Steve would kick in money occasionally and finally gave child support, but he could have been so much more generous.
You are not correct. After Jobs finally acknowldged Lisa when she was six, he supported her and her mother more than adequately when Lisa was growing up, but he was not someone that Lisa could count on, and he cut her off when she was in college. Lisa was always afraid that JObs would abandon her on which.
Making it on her own!!!! Don't you think that inheritance and name might just help a little bit? Just a little. Otherwise she is just another statistic like so many illegitimate children brought in the world by their mothers decision alone.
Steve did not support her and her mother “more than adequately” - did u miss the part about how her mother was always broke? and he did let her love with him part-time but if u read the book there were many cruelties extended and not a lot of generosity. And we don’t know what if any inheritance she got.
your mom was a great person who carried you all along the childhood like a cloud over you. Anything that may hurt you, she immediately and fiercely stood up for you.. you must be luck to have her during your tender days.

I was once told by my mother that when I was born my dad accused that I was not born of him but to another man through illegitimate relationship which obviously was not true n he abandoned both of us then got married to another lady had a separate family, after I grew up I looked just like my father n after many yrs finally when he saw me that's when he realized his mistake then repented a lot for forsaking us. Unfortunately in the yr 2012 aged 62 murdered by his second wife which was the most heartbreakingly shocking for us. I can understand how much of emotional problems she'd have endured growing up
Poor soul. It’s hard for her to admit that he was just a very selfish person. He was damaged goods from his own childhood. It’s hard for people who have never been loved to love.
MyEyesBled she was a real weirdo. In the book, young Lisa just wants Steve or the wife to say good night to her. She tells her therapist and he gets them altogether. And the wife just says they don’t do that because they are cold people.
ThePurpleUFO I read the book, and I didn’t really get a vibe of anger from her. There’s more of a melancholy, haunted tone to it. Especially at end where he cries a lot and clearly realizes how bad he let her down. I think that brought a little bit of closure to her, if there can be closure in a situation like this.
Hello. Yes, I've got the book and have read it. Before that, I read the book written by her mother, Chrisann Brennan (Steve's girlfriend). We all read and hear things differently...and maybe my feelings are affected by my reading of Chrisann's book, which was more openly resentful...but I thought they both were somewhat vengeful (even though say they are not)...and are criticizing a guy who isn't here to defend himself...if Jobs actually *would* bother to defend himself. I think a lot of this is (as happens so often) "about the money"...and in fact, in Chrisann's book, money is a topic that comes up over and over and over. I believe Lisa and Chrisann loved Steve Jobs, but I think there was a lot of anger and resentment and there still *is*. Nothing wrong with being angry and resentful...but so often they have given the impression that Steve Jobs did nothing for them, but that's not true. It's also possible that my feelings are affected by the fact that I am also an "absent father"...who had to deal with a resentful ex-wife, who could have done a better job of not turning my children against me...even though I went way above and beyond anything specified by the divorce court settlement. I've always loved my kids, but it would be easy for my ex-wife (and my children) to paint a bad picture of me. Maybe that's how it was for Steve Jobs, too. Apparently, he was a jerk in many ways. But he was also Steve Jobs. No one is perfect.
So very sad, I want to tell her I am sorry for that he father's Behavior towards her. I had a father that was loving, kind, gentle respectful and I knew I was loved. 💞
Her dad's behavior lines up perfectly with the affects of children who are adopted, since they were abandoned by their biological parents. A deep soul/psyche wound. She unfortunately inherited that ancestral trauma.
I just finished reading the book about 15 minutes ago. Lisa, thank you for sharing it and opening yourself up to the world about the good and bad in your relationships. Even now, if I could have the chance to speak with you about some if the inner workings of some of those relationships, the primary focus would be on you, not so much on Steve, but you as you faced the loneliness. During your session with Dr. Lake, Steve and your step-mom, when she said, “We’re cold people,” and you were flabbergasted. I want to delve more into that moment and the aftershocks from that revelation. It seemed Lorene could have sympathetic moments of warmth that your father could not, but those moments were few and far between. I felt that in many ways, you were Cinderella but there was no Prince to save you. You saved yourself. Your steadfast determination and resilience made you a great student and your hard work paid off. You did it yourself, and I, a stranger to you, I am proud of you. If you ever read this: thank you again, and all my love to your mom and Mona. Take care. ~Doctor Scott
you are what you are because of your mother's care through out your infant and child years.... You must be eternally thankful. I completely read e-book "Small Fry".... This is what mothers do and This is what mothers are known for... I am extremely pleased with your mother's sacrifice and determination that she fought valiantly and courageously and finally thrived...great job
Many people who were close to Steve Jobs said he was very cruel with people in general . His colleagues used to avoid taking the same elevator with him claiming he was too rude .
In the end, she won and he lost. All his money couldn't save him or make him a better person. He didn't believe in charity, he mistreated his daughter and mother of his child. He was a jerk at work. He stole ideas from others and made it his own. He didn't have an iota of goodness in him. In the end, karma got him.
A Who Snackbar yes, he had billions of dollars but for him to be this nasty, clearly he was not a very happy person. All the money in the world is not worth that.
A mean complex genius. Her experience is a universal experience. Our parents have feet of clay it is hard to discover. I admire his genius but the man missed the meaning of life until too late
"Father and daughter relationships as we know are very complicated. Yours was no exception." That opening statement made it sound it was the average complicated relationship. Uhh, she was a daughter to a tech billionaire and still lived in rags and had a dad who denied her. Hers was nothing average about it. Nonetheless had little time with him left till he died. In which all of her childhood was publicly known. Good to know Steve made emend with her. She is now worth $10 bn.
The interviewer was either plain dumb for not getting it, or her intention was to badmouthing Steve about the whole Father-Daughter issue when she quoted Steve’s “you-smell-like-a-toilet” statement, though. Even Lisa had to try defusing that awkward situation by explaining that her father didn’t mean that she smelled like the toilet itself but rather a toilet ROOM* where one can usually refresh the air by using a spray that often and coincidentally would have the same odor like the perfume Lisa wore that day. 🤦♂️ *granted that Steve surely wasn’t just an “all-n-easy-going” kinda person both in his professional as well as his private life, yet, even on his deathbed, Steve was still able to drop a witty joke for which many of us know him! …and nothing more than a joke it was; I’m pretty sure he even put that smirky kinda face on when saying it, though.😏 -Love ya, Steve!👊🏼🙂
Steve hide his love for her I think. The smell like toilet things between a father and a daugther is understanable. It does not mean he hate him. A father and a daugther remark at times exagerated to express fondness. " oh you silly..." can mean you adore someone.
There are many other accounts of Steve Jobs and his tendency toward cruelty with his team members at Apple. He was a complex person for sure. The world is better off for him being in it but I know he's left collateral damage along the way. I agree with her last statement -- she has a right to tell her story the way she experienced it.
He was angry on his dad for doing this to him, so he did it for his daughter!! He had some contradictions in his life you could tell he wasn't perfect.
She is beautiful & looks like her father. I just noticed...she does not seem to answer questions directly. She can't express her true feelings or tries to sound everything was fine, and at times unable to focus on the questions. I'm now curious to read her book to find out what kind of relationship they had.
Lisa hopefully put a rest to her complicated and complex relationship with her father and moved on, it hurts, even I could not stop crying when I read the excerpts of the book years back when it was released, both are such great souls, yet they suffered so much, I hope Lisa is at peace now, so is Steve Jobs,
I can relate many ways what she has gone through . She is a strong powerful person. Became educated very well spoken , you find comfort that your own person . But sometimes when a major holiday happens you do feel the inner emptiness . You make peace you own it. Just count your blessings of like minded people who support you. -This has been sent to you by iPhone...
I read the article (forgot which one) when the book was released, I was astounded how she used words, she plays with them, then I realized she is indeed Steve Jobs daughter. She is so good, creativity runs in the family, which I strongly feel all of them inherited from the Syrian, not the German, Sorry Steve Jobs, I know you never liked to be in anyway to do with your father, but the middle eastern people are very creative, Lisa is a highly talented woman, and I am sure Steve Jobs knew it,
Her mother was on welfare when Jobs was worth $225 Mil. It was state of California that forced Jobs to pay alimony for his daughter. It is interesting that Jobs wife, when she was worth over $20 Billion refused to provide any financial assistance to Lisa's mother.
Steve job's father also abandoned him and never wanted to know anything about him and his mom . I think Steve is angry but not bad. He has a nice soul.
I am currently 5 months pregnant by an NBA player. 3 months ago, he stopped communicating with me altogether. I am now going through this pregnancy alone and am very sad that my daughter may have to endure this from her dad.
No sympathy for women like you. Use protection, get to know a man, make sure he wants a relationship then decide together if you want to start a family. You are easy amd cheap, he can sleep with hundreds of women like you every day. The sad part is women like you are allowed to have children.
Yama Tube people make mistakes . You are being way too harsh on her. I used to judge people like you but then realized how awful I was being although I wasn't quite as bad as you.
make mistakes? Opening your legs 5 minutes after meeting a man is not a mistake. Look, I'm a man, I know how disgusting men can be, they will do everything to take you to bed. That is fine, sleep with someone but why can't you use protection? Women like this know exactly what they want, he is an NBA player, he has money, he has to support her, this is what she was thinking.
Yama Tube I agree with most of what you are saying but it's just that you were coming down on her a little harshly in your first post. Although if I were her I would not be talking about my dirty laundry on yt where millions of people are able to read about it.
Jeeeez, she looks exactly like him.
and he wanted a DNA test to prove that she's his daughter...so sad

@@goneherondale and even when the DNA test provide he is the father he denied the accuracy of the DNA test :(

He had a close relationship with his parents.
@@heidithaw1072 his biological father also did what jobs did... abandoning the family. His mother had no choice, but to give him up

Am adopted, would not be surprised if this is true, also have a great relationship with my parents

I have always stated what you do for a living has nothing to do with your character
It is your identity if you make it your identity.
That's not true, at all. What about assassins and con artists?

Very good for your daughter, bad for your chances to become a billionaire and become a tech godhead. Tunnel vision and maniacal focus of purpose giveth and taketh away.

I feel your loss. You mom must have been a great parent that you so miss her.
I don't think the same can be said of Steve.
Time spend with loving families and love one is precious, incomparable
While steve jobs tried to help the world he missed the most important part of living
Life gives and life takes. Some people live good lives being a irritation to the community
I'm a massive Steve fan, however what you said is true.
Aside from work he has little joy
That’s why we have to pay respect to him and say it’s hardly worth it as we send replies from his iPhones!
I guess its fair enough
Thank you Lisa for writing this book. What a life! So much that you went through and you still appear so resilient, evidenced by your responses in this interview. Also, I feel the book would give us a glimpse of the very human side of the brilliant genius, Steve Jobs.
And the very inhuman side.

good for you Lisa for claiming your own voice. I know it is hard to do when you have a parent that has a prominent social standing. I am trying to come to that myself. You spoke eloquently. Blessings to you and yours
when he said you smell like a toilet he was trying to blame her for a fart he knew far well he had laid... typical steve
@@garyenwards1608 she did explained well. She had being spraying roses ascent on her and he was right. It smelled like toilet. The little toilet sachet roses smell.
let steve rest!!!!! they should not be bashing on a dead man
She is soo beautiful!! Love 💕 her sharing!! More time with Dad ❤️❤️❤️ forgiveness takes time ..
How sad that he missed out on the most important things in his life, and didn't realize it till the end. I'm sad for his daughter; as a little girl, and the adult she is today....
let steve rest!!!!! they should not be bashing on a dead man
Truth is always more interesting than opinion. Thank you Lisa. Pure.
Lisa’s book arrived the same day of this interview. All she wanted was a father & growing up she didn’t have him. Very happy & sad events. Good read for sure! 😢👏🏼💕☹️💕👏🏼💕👏🏼
This is such an awkward interview to watch. She seems to by physically having like ticks in reaction to try and answer questions about her emotions and being faced with the cruel childhood it seems she hasn’t fully processed her emotions.
Rebecca Lunceford: It’s easy to simple distinguish her with some kind of a tick. The reality of it is she is not one who freely gives interviews and the subject matter that she’s talking about is quite sensitive. I see it as she was nervous giving her answers without having the ability to edit them once they were spoken. I challenge you all to give an interview and have your words flow ever so perfectly.
Maybe she just has Tourette’s lol
I hope she has AAPL shares
Bad interviewer. Talks more than the guest. Guest even has to ask "what was the first thing you asked?"
Agreed. Hoda barely said the name of her book in the beginning of the interview.
she didnt receive shares but was included in his will.
Steve have only little part of apple share, but I read somewhere she get part of Steve's Disney share.
Agree, American interviewers tend to combine questions, if not ask leading questions.
Lisa's inheritance made her the 58th richest person in the world, and the 6th richest woman. I'm sure her inheritance was better than a few apple shares.
Makes me think of when julian lennon visited john lennon in nyc when sean was real young. I recall julian saying that he wished that john was present when he was a child. This book is just like that. She seems like the outcast child especially since she acts and looks like steve
Julian Lennon is another wounded soul.
I read the book and thought it was excellent. She deserves a lot of credit for making it on her own, as does her mom imo for bringing her up as a single mom for the most part. Steve would kick in money occasionally and finally gave child support, but he could have been so much more generous.
You are not correct. After Jobs finally acknowldged Lisa when she was six, he supported her and her mother more than adequately when Lisa was growing up, but he was not someone that Lisa could count on, and he cut her off when she was in college. Lisa was always afraid that JObs would abandon her on which.
Making it on her own!!!! Don't you think that inheritance and name might just help a little bit? Just a little. Otherwise she is just another statistic like so many illegitimate children brought in the world by their mothers decision alone.
she got into Harvard on her own, with her own good grades and activities. Yes, he did ultimately pay for her college.
Steve did not support her and her mother “more than adequately” - did u miss the part about how her mother was always broke? and he did let her love with him part-time but if u read the book there were many cruelties extended and not a lot of generosity. And we don’t know what if any inheritance she got.
let steve rest!!!!! they should not be bashing on a dead man
your mom was a great person who carried you all along the childhood like a cloud over you. Anything that may hurt you, she immediately and fiercely stood up for you.. you must be luck to have her during your tender days.
she looks like him
I feel her pain in a lot of ways because my father left me and abandoned me when I was a child he refused to love me even now and I'm 44.😥
Sorry to hear that.
Onlar kendilerini sevmiyorlarki bizi sevsinler.Normal bir insan kendi parcasini nasil sevmez
She looks so like him...
Her book was a great read.. I grew up in the area and am about the same age. It was so interesting to hear about her childhood.
"I owe you one, and I'm so sorry", coming from Steve Jobs, is perhaps the best poem ever written. Miss you, Steve.

Sad..poor child.
Shes not poor lol
oh haha

After all these years, she could not erase the sadness that she lived until her sad smile😔
I was once told by my mother that when I was born my dad accused that I was not born of him but to another man through illegitimate relationship which obviously was not true n he abandoned both of us then got married to another lady had a separate family, after I grew up I looked just like my father n after many yrs finally when he saw me that's when he realized his mistake then repented a lot for forsaking us. Unfortunately in the yr 2012 aged 62 murdered by his second wife which was the most heartbreakingly shocking for us. I can understand how much of emotional problems she'd have endured growing up
Poor soul. It’s hard for her to admit that he was just a very selfish person.
He was damaged goods from his own childhood. It’s hard for people who have never been loved to love.
Maybe because he was more than that you doofus
Steve’s wife treated Lisa even worse! Read the book and you will freak out how cruel Mrs. Jobs was to her!
MyEyesBled she was a real weirdo. In the book, young Lisa just wants Steve or the wife to say good night to her. She tells her therapist and he gets them altogether. And the wife just says they don’t do that because they are cold people.
Gryphon S.
She says she's forgiven him, but the book proves otherwise.
ThePurpleUFO I read the book, and I didn’t really get a vibe of anger from her. There’s more of a melancholy, haunted tone to it. Especially at end where he cries a lot and clearly realizes how bad he let her down. I think that brought a little bit of closure to her, if there can be closure in a situation like this.
Hello. Yes, I've got the book and have read it. Before that, I read the book written by her mother, Chrisann Brennan (Steve's girlfriend). We all read and hear things differently...and maybe my feelings are affected by my reading of Chrisann's book, which was more openly resentful...but I thought they both were somewhat vengeful (even though say they are not)...and are criticizing a guy who isn't here to defend himself...if Jobs actually *would* bother to defend himself. I think a lot of this is (as happens so often) "about the money"...and in fact, in Chrisann's book, money is a topic that comes up over and over and over. I believe Lisa and Chrisann loved Steve Jobs, but I think there was a lot of anger and resentment and there still *is*. Nothing wrong with being angry and resentful...but so often they have given the impression that Steve Jobs did nothing for them, but that's not true. It's also possible that my feelings are affected by the fact that I am also an "absent father"...who had to deal with a resentful ex-wife, who could have done a better job of not turning my children against me...even though I went way above and beyond anything specified by the divorce court settlement. I've always loved my kids, but it would be easy for my ex-wife (and my children) to paint a bad picture of me. Maybe that's how it was for Steve Jobs, too. Apparently, he was a jerk in many ways. But he was also Steve Jobs. No one is perfect.
She's not vindictive.
@@thepurpleufo He did give them around $500 a month for a while! which is peanuts.
Steve Jobs was known for being cruel to people.
Bitter death sentence for man that gave out bitterness....
when he said you smell like a toilet he was trying to blame her for a fart he knew far well he had laid... typical steve
your mother loves u very deeply and I say u r her life....
1:55 Fathers daughter relationships are not complicated for all. This is political correctness.
All relationships are complicated.
It would be great to see a movie about this book. She genuinely wrote this book according to her eyes which is great. She’s not alone.
So very sad, I want to tell her I am sorry for that he father's Behavior towards her. I had a father that was loving, kind, gentle respectful and I knew I was loved. 💞
Her dad's behavior lines up perfectly with the affects of children who are adopted, since they were abandoned by their biological parents. A deep soul/psyche wound. She unfortunately inherited that ancestral trauma.
let steve rest!!!!! they should not be bashing on a dead man
You're not alone, I think we all (the whole world) wish if we had more time with him 💖💖
what a down to earth young lady, steve would be proud
Very very selfish people like Steve Jobs don't deserve having kids. She still has pain in her eyes.
Clearly she is being too nice. I can only imagine her pain - the pain that she isn't sharing.
she's a beautiful person both inside and out .... i feel for her and my heart goes out to her 💜 i hope she finds her inner happiness and nirvana
let steve rest!!!!! they should not be bashing on a dead man
OMG she looks like her father! missing her childhood must be his biggest regret, RIP Steve.
I just finished reading the book about 15 minutes ago. Lisa, thank you for sharing it and opening yourself up to the world about the good and bad in your relationships. Even now, if I could have the chance to speak with you about some if the inner workings of some of those relationships, the primary focus would be on you, not so much on Steve, but you as you faced the loneliness.
During your session with Dr. Lake, Steve and your step-mom, when she said, “We’re cold people,” and you were flabbergasted. I want to delve more into that moment and the aftershocks from that revelation. It seemed Lorene could have sympathetic moments of warmth that your father could not, but those moments were few and far between. I felt that in many ways, you were Cinderella but there was no Prince to save you. You saved yourself. Your steadfast determination and resilience made you a great student and your hard work paid off. You did it yourself, and I, a stranger to you, I am proud of you.
If you ever read this: thank you again, and all my love to your mom and Mona. Take care.
~Doctor Scott
you are what you are because of your mother's care through out your infant and child years.... You must be eternally thankful. I completely read e-book "Small Fry".... This is what mothers do and This is what mothers are known for... I am extremely pleased with your mother's sacrifice and determination that she fought valiantly and courageously and finally thrived...great job
i'm crying just looking at her
Blessings for each and every day... My day never begins or ends without warm thoughts of you...
Her response to Lauren Powell´s review of the book is classy, intelligent and brave.
Many people who were close to Steve Jobs said he was very cruel with people in general . His colleagues used to avoid taking the same elevator with him claiming he was too rude .
come on Lisa jobs! write more books! much love.
In the end, she won and he lost.
All his money couldn't save him or make him a better person.
He didn't believe in charity, he mistreated his daughter and mother of his child.
He was a jerk at work. He stole ideas from others and made it his own.
He didn't have an iota of goodness in him. In the end, karma got him.
A Who Snackbar yes, he had billions of dollars but for him to be this nasty, clearly he was not a very happy person. All the money in the world is not worth that.
Now go post from your iPhone!
@@cherp7522 meaning??
A mean complex genius. Her experience is a universal experience. Our parents have feet of clay it is hard to discover. I admire his genius but the man missed the meaning of life until too late
No one won lol
Daddy Dearest,tormented genius, the shattered memories left behind courage to speak one’s truth.
"Father and daughter relationships as we know are very complicated. Yours was no exception."
That opening statement made it sound it was the average complicated relationship.
Uhh, she was a daughter to a tech billionaire and still lived in rags and had a dad who denied her. Hers was nothing average about it. Nonetheless had little time with him left till he died. In which all of her childhood was publicly known.
Good to know Steve made emend with her. She is now worth $10 bn.
The toilet statement was very smh like why would the journalist ask that or bring it up terrible 🤦🏽♂️
She won'tEd rating's
The interviewer was either plain dumb for not getting it, or her intention was to badmouthing Steve about the whole Father-Daughter issue when she quoted Steve’s “you-smell-like-a-toilet” statement, though. Even Lisa had to try defusing that awkward situation by explaining that her father didn’t mean that she smelled like the toilet itself but rather a toilet ROOM* where one can usually refresh the air by using a spray that often and coincidentally would have the same odor like the perfume Lisa wore that day. 🤦♂️
*granted that Steve surely wasn’t just an “all-n-easy-going” kinda person both in his professional as well as his private life, yet, even on his deathbed, Steve was still able to drop a witty joke for which many of us know him! …and nothing more than a joke it was; I’m pretty sure he even put that smirky kinda face on when saying it, though.😏
-Love ya, Steve!👊🏼🙂
Steve hide his love for her I think. The smell like toilet things between a father and a daugther is understanable. It does not mean he hate him. A father and a daugther remark at times exagerated to express fondness. " oh you silly..." can mean you adore someone.
CAN YOU LET HER SPEAK?
Certain facial expressions she makes, she looks just like him! Amazing! He's still alive in her which is pretty cool to think about.
She has the same look in her eyes as Steve.
8:59 be grateful folks. i lost my father when i was 7. there were merely 3 chunks of memories i remember with him.
I wish they had more time too. 😥
Lisa is a beautiful and sweet woman. Steve can be proud of his daughter.
Steve is a blessing to the world. No matter what, Lisa is blessed that he is her father.
She loves him despite all the bad things he did, so I can guess he wasn't that bad.
Their pictures together are full of love.
There are many other accounts of Steve Jobs and his tendency toward cruelty with his team members at Apple. He was a complex person for sure. The world is better off for him being in it but I know he's left collateral damage along the way. I agree with her last statement -- she has a right to tell her story the way she experienced it.
He was angry on his dad for doing this to him, so he did it for his daughter!! He had some contradictions in his life you could tell he wasn't perfect.
She is beautiful & looks like her father. I just noticed...she does not seem to answer questions directly. She can't express her true feelings or tries to sound everything was fine, and at times unable to focus on the questions. I'm now curious to read her book to find out what kind of relationship they had.
I’m in the middle of his book and my mind weighs heavy on this lady
Bless her - you can tell she's disassociated a bit from the pain she must have felt as she describes the character than herself at points 💔
Lisa hopefully put a rest to her complicated and complex relationship with her father and moved on, it hurts, even I could not stop crying when I read the excerpts of the book years back when it was released, both are such great souls, yet they suffered so much, I hope Lisa is at peace now, so is Steve Jobs,
As a kid she resembled Steve so much !!!
Seems like a really nice girl, he should of been proud. On the other hand....Hoping she’s been well compensated👍
I can relate many ways what she has gone through . She is a strong powerful person. Became educated very well spoken , you find comfort that your own person . But sometimes when a major holiday happens you do feel the inner emptiness . You make peace you own it. Just count your blessings of like minded people who support you.
-This has been sent to you by iPhone...
Having worked for Apple, I can confirm that Steve Jobs, while brilliant, was an arrogant, egotistical jerk.
How long did you work for Apple and how else was it working for Steve?
I read the article (forgot which one) when the book was released, I was astounded how she used words, she plays with them, then I realized she is indeed Steve Jobs daughter. She is so good, creativity runs in the family, which I strongly feel all of them inherited from the Syrian, not the German, Sorry Steve Jobs, I know you never liked to be in anyway to do with your father, but the middle eastern people are very creative, Lisa is a highly talented woman, and I am sure Steve Jobs knew it,
this guy steve was so caught up with apple that he didn't spend time with his family.
Better, way, together!❤❤
This is sad. What a mean human being......
Jobs was messed up man.
Wow, so much respect for you, Lisa.
Lisa is such a nice Lady 🌹❤️
Weird how she speaks about herself much in third person. I look forward to reading her book.
Linda Lawton yes it was like awkward...
I think she has to distance herself to a degree from the horrible memories.
probably because the interviewer is asking her about her childhood referring to her as a child in the third person
Her mother was on welfare when Jobs was worth $225 Mil. It was state of California that forced Jobs to pay alimony for his daughter. It is interesting that Jobs wife, when she was worth over $20 Billion refused to provide any financial assistance to Lisa's mother.
Steve job's father also abandoned him and never wanted to know anything about him and his mom . I think Steve is angry but not bad. He has a nice soul.
I am currently 5 months pregnant by an NBA player. 3 months ago, he stopped communicating with me altogether. I am now going through this pregnancy alone and am very sad that my daughter may have to endure this from her dad.
No sympathy for women like you. Use protection, get to know a man, make sure he wants a relationship then decide together if you want to start a family. You are easy amd cheap, he can sleep with hundreds of women like you every day. The sad part is women like you are allowed to have children.
@@yamatube2574 I have no sympathy for miserable people bringing others down.
Yama Tube people make mistakes . You are being way too harsh on her. I used to judge people like you but then realized how awful I was being although I wasn't quite as bad as you.
make mistakes? Opening your legs 5 minutes after meeting a man is not a mistake. Look, I'm a man, I know how disgusting men can be, they will do everything to take you to bed. That is fine, sleep with someone but why can't you use protection? Women like this know exactly what they want, he is an NBA player, he has money, he has to support her, this is what she was thinking.
Yama Tube I agree with most of what you are saying but it's just that you were coming down on her a little harshly in your first post. Although if I were her I would not be talking about my dirty laundry on yt where millions of people are able to read about it.
