Apple co-founder Steve Jobs refused the offer to become his successor as head of the company, Tim Cook, to donate part of his liver to help you survive cancer, according to a new biography of Jobs.

 

Excerpts from the new book “Becoming Steve Jobs” (Becoming Steve Jobs) to be published on March 24, reveals that despite his frail Jobs refused to accept the proposal of Cook.

 

“I got almost before the words left my mouth,” says Cook in the new book, which recalls that Jobs told him he would never do that.

 

“He sort of jumped on the bed to say that I would not do that,” he says in the book the current CEO of Apple, who emphasizes that when Jobs refused the offer his health was “terrible”.

 

“Steve yelled only four or five times during the 13 years that I knew him and that was one of them,” Cook said.

 

Jobs received a liver transplant in 2009, died at age 59, victim of a rare pancreatic cancer.

 

The legendary Apple co-founder resigned as CEO of the technology giant in August 2011 and died in October of that year.

 

The book goes on sale this month also provides new details about friendship over the years of the life of Jobs with the head of Disney, Bob Iger, who was offered a position on the executive board of Apple.

 

“We talked about buying companies on buying Yahoo together,” recalled Iger in the book. EFE
