In Walter Isaacson's book about Steve Jobs, the author highlights Jobs' realization that intuitive understanding and heightened consciousness were more vital than simply relying on abstract thought and logical reasoning. This insight reflects Jobs' deep appreciation for intuition in the creative process and decision-making.
Despite his profound insights, Jobs struggled with maintaining inner peace due to his intense personality. His quest for Zen awareness was often challenged by the pressures and demands of his visionary pursuits, creating a complex relationship between mindfulness and the drive for innovation.
