What makes people change? This is the central premise of this short, interesting book by author Alan Deutschman. More specifically, why don't people change when even their own pending mortality is at stake? Why aren't facts and fear about our physical health, for example, enough to motivate us to change?

A gossipy collection of loosely connected stories about Steve Jobs. Clearly a journalist's book, it proceeds in paragraph fits and keeps restating its premises.

/*** read this book for the third time. Narration was journalistic at times( as if it is an excerpt from a newspaper) but the research is good.
