The never-before-told story of Pixar's improbable success.
“Hi, Lawrence?” the caller asked. “This is Steve Jobs. I saw your picture in a magazine a few years ago and thought we’d work together someday.”
After Steve Jobs was unceremoniously dismissed from Apple, he turned his attention to a little-known graphics art company that he owned called Pixar.
One day, out of the blue, Jobs called Lawrence Levy, a Harvard-trained lawyer and Silicon Valley executive to whom he had never spoken before, in the hope of persuading Levy to help him get Pixar on the right track.
What Levy found in Pixar was a company on the verge of failure. To Pixar and Beyond is the extraordinary story of what happened next: How Levy, working closely with Jobs and the Pixar team, produced and implemented a highly improbable roadmap that transformed the sleepy graphics art studio into one of Hollywood’s greatest success stories.
Set in the worlds of Silicon Valley and Hollywood, the book takes readers inside Pixar, Disney, law firms, and investment banks. It provides an up-close, first-hand account of Pixar’s stunning ascent, how it took risks, Levy’s enduring collaboration and friendship with Jobs, and how Levy came to see in Pixar deeper parallels that apply to all aspects of our lives.

读后感
和合伙人谈拆分业务的这天早上，摔碎了一个杯子。 好像是冥冥之中的启示，是时候开启另一段经历的契机了吧。 广告公司运营两年，并不太成功。自我反省过，其中有情绪化的成分掺杂，但基本主客观原因还是非常清晰的。 回过来看这本书，我觉得对任何创业者来说，确实提供了另一个...
评分看一个企业是怎么绝地求生的，恐怕连创始人和管理层也猜不到发展的结局… 皮克斯是个谜，我从没看到过一家公司能汇聚那么多人才，他们付出了巨大努力，但它涉足的业务要么失败，要么潜力有限，根本不值得大费周章。它一直在原地踏步。 把这家公司弄上市简直就是天方夜谭，投资...
评分 评分非常喜欢看迪士尼的动画片，常常会在开头看到一个可爱的小台灯跳、跳、跳，像是在努力拉开一场盛宴的帷幕，很憨、很可爱，但从未探究它旁边的字母及其代表的含义。 书中以非电影创作人员的角度讲述皮克斯成功的背后故事，如果没有这些幕后人员的疯狂的想法和抉择，恐怕 ...

My favorite book for 2019
评分[有声书] 很精彩的一本书，来自Pixar前CFO，Lawrence Levy，记录了94年由Steve Jobs的一通电话邀请开始的Pixar之路：支持主创团队的Toy Story制作，让Pixar上市，Toy Story巨大成功之后的与迪士尼的“谈判”（修改合作条款，以让Pixar树立自己的品牌等等），以及05年前后将Pixar卖给迪士尼却依然保持Pixar在创作上的独立性。之前读Pixar CEO，Ed Catmull的Creativity Inc时就觉得Pixar不简单，这次从商业角度更加了解到了Pixar的巨大成功需要多少人的共同努力。Levy后来追随自己的兴趣，研究起了哲学、冥想等和现代社会的接轨。Levy也提到了Pixar的十年给Jobs回归并重启Apple打的重要基础。
评分从此看到那个旋转跳跃的小台灯 都多了一丝安陵容的感觉（在JPMorgan&GS间鸡飞蛋打的几章很精彩）
评分乔布斯三部曲第二部（自封的，哈哈）
评分A fascinating story about Pixar, business, working with Jobs, and life.
