I believe the author would have a different opinion if he watched Steve's 2005 commencement speech. http://goo.gl/l7scw

Steve said the reason he was successful later in life was from learning from his previous failures. This doesn't seem characteristic of a man who is unable to reflect on his past.

Perhaps the reason he chose not to do so later in life was because he knew of his impending death. The man who lives every day like his last doesn't spend time reminiscing about the past—he lives in the present and enjoys every waking moment.

I'd like to think that in the last months of his life Steve tried to do just that.

I'm guessing he has seen it already. Have you read the book? (I haven't)

I pre-ordered the book so it hasn't arrived yet. I'm definitely looking forward to reading it. :-)

I did, however, read The Second Coming of Steve Jobs, which was an excellent unauthorized biography I read a few years ago. http://goo.gl/NxK3D
