Richard Feynman was a genius. As if being one of the leading theoretical scientists wasn’t enough, he was also extremely versatile and extremely witty. This book is a great insight into the life of a person who showed that to be successful at what you do, you don’t need to be single-minded, but can be interested in a million other things as well.
An important thing to remember is that this guy is not a professional writer. Within those limits, this is a really nice book; Feynman’s level of thinking is so high that most of us cannot even imagine thinking at that level. The pieces relating to his love life are touching and nice to read, and the book shows you the quirkiness of the man, which is very important because it shows that Feynman is human after all!
