Review title: What's the merit in this?
Product review: At the end of Walter Isaacson's biography Steve Jobs, he asks Steve what he has on his iPad. One book, and one he reads every year according to the book is Autobiography of a Yogi.I put the audio book on my iPhone and listened on a sunny bike ride. I can remember a tale of the author visiting a guru who was so strong, he could defeat a lion with his bare hands.Wanting to hear the tale again, I started the book from the beginning creating an image in my mind of each word. I pictured in my mind him telling his sister he will have a boil on his body tomorrow. He does. Then he tells her that kites being flown nearby will fall from the sky - chopped in battle by fellow kite flyers - and fall into his hands. They do.According to Isaacson's biography, Jobs delayed taking conventional medical action for 9 months, relying on unconventional practices. He's dead.What is the merit of these tales?
