A Complete and Practical Approach to Life

Steve Jobs is undoubtedly one of the most influential figures in history. He shaped the technological era we live in today. And thanks to his vision we are able to enjoy some of the most wonderful tools and products ever created. Behind his immense success and groundbreaking achievements, there was a hidden aspect of his life that greatly influenced him: his spirituality.

It is said that the only book he saved in his iPad was Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda. This book held a special place in Jobs' heart and played a significant role in shaping his perspective. He had been reading and rereading it annually since his teenage years.

At his memorial service in 2011, attendees were given a small brown box containing Yogananda's book as a parting gift. Steve Jobs knew who was going to attend this event. He knew there were going to be influential and important leaders. And he decided to give them this book as his last message. But why? What is it about this book that captured his attention?
