This delightful book is about finance, creative genius, workplace harmony, and luck.”—Fortune ”Enchanting,”—New York Times “I love this book! I think it is brilliant.”—Ed Catmull, cofounder and president of Pixar Animation, president of Disney Animation, and coauthor of the bestseller Creativity Inc.The revelatory saga of Pixar’s rocky start and improbable success After Steve Jobs was dismissed from Apple in the early 1990s, he turned his attention to a little‑known graphics company he owned called Pixar. One day, out of the blue, Jobs called Lawrence Levy, a Harvard‑trained lawyer and executive to whom he had never spoken before. He hoped to persuade Levy to help him pull Pixar back from the brink of failure. This is the extraordinary story of what happened next: how Jobs and Levy concocted and pulled off a highly improbable plan that transformed Pixar into one of Hollywood’s greatest success stories. Levy offers a masterful, firsthand account of how Pixar rose from humble beginnings, what it was like to work so closely with Jobs, and how Pixar’s story offers profound lessons that can apply to many aspects of our lives. “Part business book and part thriller—a tale that’s every bit as compelling as the ones Pixar tells in its blockbuster movies. It’s also incredibly inspirational, a story about a team that took big risks and reaped the rewards . . . I loved this book and could not put it down.”—Dan Lyons, best-selling author of Disrupted “A natural storyteller, Levy offers an inside look at the business and a fresh, sympathetic view of Jobs.”—Success MagazineAn Amazon Best Book of 2016 in Business & Leadership • A top pick on Fortune’s Favorite Booksof 2016 • A 2017 Axiom Business Book Award winner in Memoir/Biography

To Pixar and Beyond: My Unlikely Journey with Steve Jobs to Make Entertainment History by Lawrence Levy
To Pixar and Beyond: My Unlikely Journey with Steve Jobs to Make Entertainment History by Lawrence Levy is Well written, full of humanity, and hard to put down, To Pixar and Beyond is an engaging read. I was surprised at the number of obstacles Levy and Pixar needed to overcome on the way to success. This one immediately shouldered aside the five or six other books I had open in my Kindle app; highly recommended, and not just for those interested in business.
To Pixar and Beyond: My Unlikely Journey with Steve Jobs to Make Entertainment History by Lawrence Levy is My background in creative industry leads me into the investment in the digital sector. Recently I reconnect my initial passion in the film industry by investing in films and use the analytical model to approach the investment risk.I found this book during my search on the business insight in the entertainment industry. I highly recommend the analytical approach on the business insight during Pixar early monetization model. Nobody can think of throwing the only business model of Renderman licensing into monetizing ‘motion blur’ patent. Brilliant!The part of describing the tension on relationship with Disney and how to best use leverage and negotiation is also very insightful. I have similar experience like this. Be passionate about the deal but don’t be afraid of walking away from the deal!
To Pixar and Beyond: My Unlikely Journey with Steve Jobs to Make Entertainment History by Lawrence Levy is Interesting history of Pixar. The last part, his spiritual awakening, was very weird and out of place; it came off as a sales pitch for his current venture. Put me off from the whole book
To Pixar and Beyond: My Unlikely Journey with Steve Jobs to Make Entertainment History by Lawrence Levy is Lawrence Levy has truly written a gem about his time @ Pixar and beyond. Having worked @ the Investment Bank that took Pixar public made reading Lawrence's account about it as CFO extra special. It was like I was there all over again.Describing his personal accounts of working with Steve Jobs, the ups and downs and finally success for Pixar made this book an incredible page turner.. It truly is an inspirational book for me and my entire family.What I really enjoyed was when Lawrence insisted that his team be included in the credits for Pixar films! THAT was indeed remarkable.I felt sad when I finished it because I wanted it to keep going. Going for a walk after reading it helped! ;>)
