Walter Isaacson has been hard at work finishing his biography of Steve Jobs.  The book, out today, is the result of 40 interviews that Isaacson conducted with Jobs, and many more with Jobs's friends family and colleagues, over the last seven years.  Isaacson spoke about Jobs on 60 Minutes.  Here is an excerpt, in which Isaacson discusses Jobs's personal life, his early days as a complicated colleague at Atari, and how he and Steve Wozniak founded Apple computer from his parents' garage.  We find the second half of this segment particularly interesting, as Isaacson discusses what some Apple employees refer to as Jobs's "reality distortion field," which seems to have made him a very difficult friend and colleague, but perhaps also explains some of his more surprising successes as a business leader.
