Steve Job’s biography is available on Amazon

Steve Jobs died regretting the fact that he did not have surgery sooner. According to The Sydney Morning Herald, his biographer Walter Isaacson reveals this in a 60 Minutes interview discussing his upcoming book, Steve Jobs.

Isaacson told Steve Kroft that when he asked Jobs why he didn’t get the operation sooner, Jobs replied that he did not want his body to be violated in that way and instead chose alternative medicines.

Jobs chose to have surgery after he was convinced by his wife and those around him. However, it was too late as the cancer had spread.

Isaacson’s book comes out next week.
