2013.3.1 Monks and disciples from the Hare Krishna temple would come and prepare vegetarian feasts redolent of cumin, coriander, and turmeric.“Steve would be starving when he arrived, and he would stuff himself,” Holmes recalled.“Then he would go and purge.For years I thought he was bulimic.It was very upsetting, because we had gone to all that trouble of creating these feasts, and he couldn’t hold it down.”

Many years later, after Friedland had become a billionaire copper and gold mining executive—working out of Vancouver, Singapore, and Mongolia—I met him for drinks in New York.That evening I emailed Jobs and mentioned my encounter.He telephoned me from California within an hour and warned me against listening to Friedland.He said that when Friedland was in trouble because of environmental abuses committed by some of his mines, he had tried to contact Jobs to intervene with Bill Clinton, but Jobs had not responded.“Robert always portrayed himself as a spiritual person, but he croed the line from being charismatic to being a con man,” Jobs said.“It was a strange thing to have one of the spiritual people in your young life turn out to be, symbolically and in reality, a gold miner.”

Jobs quickly became bored with college.He liked being at Reed, just not taking the required claes.In fact he was surprised when he found out that, for all of its hippie aura, there were strict course requirements.When Wozniak came to visit, Jobs waved his schedule at him and complained, “They are making me take all these courses.” Woz replied, “Yes, that’s what they do in college.” Jobs refused to go to the claes he was aigned and instead went to the ones he wanted, such as a dance cla where he could enjoy both the creativity and the chance to meet girls.“I would never have refused to take the courses you were supposed to, that’s a difference in our personality,” Wozniak marveled. hippie ['hipi]

Jobs also began to feel guilty, he later said, about spending so much of his parents’ money on an education that did not seem worthwhile.“All of my working-cla parents’ savings were being spent on my college tuition,” he recounted in a famous commencement addre at Stanford.“I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out.And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life.So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out okay.”
