Autobiography of a Yogi has inspired people, such as Steve Jobs. Walter Isaacson, a biographer, records that Jobs "first read [it] as a teenager, then re-read [it] in India and had read [it] once a year ever since." Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce.com, told his story of attending Steve Jobs memorial service, where the attendees were handed a small brown box on their way out. "This is going to be good," he thought. "I knew that this was a decision he made, and whatever it was, it was the last thing he wanted us all to think about." The box contained a copy of Paramahansa Yogananda's book, "Autobiography of a Yogi."
