An illustrated depiction of Steve Jobs' friendship with Zen Buddhist Kobun Chino Otogawa and the impact it had on Jobs' career

Apple cofounder Steve Jobs (1955-2011) had such an enormous impact on so many people that his life often took on aspects of myth. But much of his success was due to collaboration with designers, engineers and thinkers. The Zen of Steve Jobs tells the story of Jobs' relationship with one such person: Kobun Chino Otogawa.

Kobun was a Zen Buddhist priest who emigrated to the U.S. from Japan in the early 1970s. He was an innovator, lacked appreciation for rules and was passionate about art and design. Kobun was to Buddhism as Jobs was to the computer business: a renegade and maverick. It wasn't long before the two became friends--a relationship that was not built to last.

This graphic book is a reimagining of that friendship. The story moves back and forward in time, from the 1970s to 2011, but centers on the period after Jobs' exile from Apple in 1985 when he took up intensive study with Kobun. Their time together was integral to the big leaps that Apple took later on with its product design and business strategy.

Told using stripped down dialogue and bold calligraphic panels, The Zen of Steve Jobs explores how Jobs might have honed his design aesthetic via Eastern religion before choosing to identify only what he needs and leave the rest behind.

Practical for the size but doesn't last
Color: Refreshing Mouthwash, Size: 0.41 Fl Oz (Pack of 30)
Good for travellers and easy to use. It doesn't take too much space in your bag, but it doesn't last long enough

As a hygienist I love this
Flavor Name: Coconut Mint, Size: 8 Ounce
As a dental hygienist, I’m always cautious about oral care products that claim to whiten while also protecting enamel, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised by this Nano-Hydroxyapatite Oil Pulling Mouthwash. The formula feels gentle yet effective, and I appreciate that it focuses on supporting enamel health instead of relying on harsh whitening ingredients that can increase sensitivity. The nano-hydroxyapatite is a great addition because it helps strengthen and remineralize teeth, which is especially beneficial for patients with sensitivity or early enamel wear. I also noticed my mouth felt very clean and refreshed after use, without the heavy, greasy texture that many oil pulling products tend to leave behind. Another big plus is how well it helps with bad breath and plaque control. It leaves a smooth, fresh feeling without burning or overpowering mint flavors, making it suitable for both adults and older kids. The whitening effect is gradual and natural-looking rather than overly aggressive, which I personally prefer from a dental health standpoint. Overall, this is a well-balanced oral care product that combines natural ingredients with science-backed enamel support. I would definitely recommend it as part of a good brushing and flossing routine.
