With Laurene Powell, 1991
今天这部分的阅读主要集中在乔布斯的感情经历，最有意思的是本书作者在 ch20 大笔墨介绍了乔布斯的过往恋爱经历后，在 ch21 开头为乔布斯的理想婚姻对象画像如下：
By this point, based on his dating history, a matchmaker could have put together a composite sketch of the woman who would be right for Jobs. Smart, yet unpretentious. Tough enough to stand up tp him, yet Zen-like enough to rise above turmoil. Well-educated and independent, yet already to make accommodations for him and a family. Down-to-earth, but with a touch of the ethereal. Savvy enough to know how to manage him, but secure enough to not always need to. And it wouldn’t hurt to be a beautiful, lanky blonde with an easygoing sense of humor who liked organic vegetarian food.
而后再顺理成章的引出最终成为乔布斯妻子的劳伦·鲍威尔（Laurene Powell），这种描写手法和笔调着实高明，过渡自然，值得借鉴学习呢~
1991年3月18日，36岁的乔布斯和27岁的劳伦结婚了，事实证明他两还真是适配的一对。本书作者也是不遗余力详细写了很多他们的生活细节，其中有一段关于他们如何对待房子装饰以及选购电器的片段，更是让我愕然之余也很是佩服。
对生活必需品的选购他们不纠结，但对于诸如沙发、洗衣机等之类的，他们会反复询问：添置这些物品的最终目的是什么？他们将其视为一种生活哲学，绝不轻易为了冲动而购物。在他们看来，物质只能把生活填满，而并不使之充实。
Material possessions often cluttered life rather than enriched it.
这让我很是感慨，或许有这样的想法和乔布斯喜欢冥想，素食者，追求极简的生活态度有关，但无可否认，能够如此这般清明地不为物质所累，一心专注于真正的需求，才是生活的真谛。
