Coincidentally, I just started re-reading Steve Jobs' biography a few days ago (~11 years after I had first read it). When I had first read it as a kid, I was more into the design/tech stuff.
This time, I see my focus mostly going towards Steve's personality traits. His weird diets, his abrasiveness, his rudeness, his stare, him walking barefoot everywhere, his charisma, his directness. Him just going up to people and bending their wills in his "reality distortion field".
It's really powerful stuff.
