I started reading this a few weeks ago, and was struck by how much casual magic there seemed to be in India at that time. In the parts describing his childhood, every other page described a mystical experience. It made it a little hard to connect with my life, and by extension, trying to understand how it might have affected Steve Jobs. My only (cynical) explanation is that the magic was a result of a yogi cult of personality, which Jobs was able to use later on.

I'd be interested to hear what other people thought if they've read any of it.
