{PBJFlorida} FW: The only book Steve Jobs of Apple had on his iPad 2: "Autobiography of a Yogi" by Parahamsa Yogananda

 

Pls see below.

I hope you have read the book.

If not, please do!  Most libraries in USA should have it or they can get it.

Steve Jobs loved reading books – mostly spiritual ones. With millions of books available on the iBookstore, you would expect Steve Jobs to have several of them. But in fact, his iPad 2 held just a single work.  The only book that Steve had downloaded on his Apple iPad 2 for regular reading was "Autobiography of a Yogi" by Parahamsa Yogananda, which he read once a year for decades.

 

This acclaimed autobiography presents a fascinating portrait of one of the great spiritual figures of our time. With engaging candor, eloquence, and wit, Paramahansa Yogananda tells the inspiring chronicle of his life: the experiences of his remarkable childhood, encounter with many saints and sages during his youthful search throughout India for an illumined teacher, ten years of training in the hermitage of a revered yoga master, and the thirty years that he lived and taught in America. Also recorded here are his meetings with Mahatma Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore, Luther Burbank, the Catholic stigmatist Therese Neumann, and other celebrated spiritual personalities of East and West. The author clearly explains the subtle but definite laws behind both the ordinary events of everyday life and the extraordinary events commonly termed miracles.
