The first time I read this book ,I was overwhelmed by the simplicity of an intelligent mind. I was 22 then and I presented a copy to many of my friends and had happy discussions over it afterwards. Now, at 74, I am getting a new copy as I can not find my old one that I loved so much. Reading this book is like talking to a long lost friend, you share so much, you think together so much.

When I picked this book, I thought I would get a sneak-peek into the nerdy scientists lives. But I just realized that not all scientists are nerdy. Mr. Feynman was not only a great scientist. He was multi-faceted.

As you go through the chapters of the book , you realize how witty, humorous, sarcastic and funny he was. I believe he has tried almost everything in life. Music, Drummer, Breaking locks, teaching..Gosh!!This man was super awesome one can only wish to be. He even tricked Einstein's...

This book will bust your myths about physicists being people with their head perpetually up in the clouds. They are human beings with frailties and emotions just like everyone else. He's a genius alright; but unlike Einstein, Feynman doesn't have the aura of the wise-old-man about him -- which is probably a shame...I wouldn't say he's a philosopher (since he thinks they're "tourists"), but he certainly appears to have turned wiser in his old age. But hey, this book is about his adventures as ...

GREAT BOOK.
A MUST READ

Best book to be given as gift to students from 7th grade it helps them to develope intrest towards physics, great thought leaders like Feynman. Young people and even others would love reading this book. I just loved it 🙂

I'm not qualified enough to comment on content of this book on one of the greatest minds of last century. But I can sure say that the quality of the page and price are not matching....
Atleast font size could have been better.

Well Mr. Abhi, first of all you need to know that this book is not supposed be a popular science book. It is simply the stories of Feynman's life. And second of all, from your writing it is quite clear that you don't know or haven't read anything else about Feynman (if you have then its even worse). So keep those dumb opinions to yourself.

There are two types of genius. Ordinary geniuses do great things, but they leave you room to believe that you could do the same if only you worked hard enough. Then there are magicians, and you can have no idea how they do it. Feynman was a magician.
-Hans Bethe (theoretical physicist and Nobel laureate)

This book isn't just for those in the domain of physics....it can be read and enjoyed by everybody. A truly legendary "teacher of teachers", his convivial nature, his gift of exposition, his...

Must read for anyone familiar/unfamiliar with Dr. Feynman and his life/work. It's not just about his achievements in science(especially physics) but also how his life had been like. Amazing character he was. And even more amazing are the anecdotes.

its amazing how a scientist of his calliber could be able to do so many different things just out of curiosity....and rather become an expertise on the subject is worth learning!!! ive definitely no read as colourfull a character like him....
