New Gurus: 1. The Birth of the New Guru
Did Steve Jobs鈥� personal quest for enlightenment also help create the modern guru? Helen Lewis investigates.
In 2011, some mourners at Steve Jobs鈥� memorial service were confused by his final gift to them 鈥� a book called Autobiography of A Yogi. Others understood his message perfectly - the Apple founder had spent his entire life searching for his own guru. Instead, by creating the iPhone, he became one. But did Jobs鈥� personal quest for enlightenment also help create the modern guru?
The New Gurus is a series about looking for enlightenment in the digital world.
