This is indeed an amazing book! I have enjoyed reading every single page!
Many topics such as:
- How Computer Graphics got its beginnings and evolution
- How technology and art can co-exists
- How it is like going from a research team to build a company
- How PIXAR started (and where the name comes from)
- How to handle honesty <> candor! Importance of feedback
- Creating a workspace that inspire for creativity
- Involving your thousands employees into important decisions from the company
- Not loosing the company’s culture even if you were bought (Disney bought it)
- The importance about the tech people “building up” the movie getting involve into the whole process of development of the movie’s “story”
Never lower your quality and excellence! (this was greeatly explained when they faced the challenge to come up with Toy Story 2, for example)
Team work! Really important… build a great team! and people > ideas
“give an idea to a mediocre team, they will destroy it; give any idea to a brilliant team and they will surprise you”
and yeah… overall how to deal with Steve Jobs 🤓
Psss The name “Pixar” comes from a combination of “radar” and “pixer,” a made-up Spanish word.

This is a really interesting book that is worth reading for many creative professionals. It's much better than the books that are required for me in college or the so-called motivational books. We studied The Other Wes Moore and I didn't like the story at all, I didn't understand much there. However, I had to write an essay with my own thoughts on the morals and ideas of this book. I used eduzaurus.com/free-essay-samples/t... to write this work, because I wrote only 1 page on my own, which is not even half the minimum amount of the task. I am very glad that I found this resource and was able to perform this task, although not without the help of others.
Very interesting book. After your response, I really wanted to read it too.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience!
I am also interested in reading this book now! I also recommend reading Ilona Mask's autobiographical book. I am also interested in what fiction you read and what can you recommend?
thanks for recommendation! I like biographies, productivity books :)
Atomic Habits is a good one!
