Everyone in search for a truth has its own road, but all roads in never-ending search for the truth eventually lead to physics. Ive met Feynman several years ago on mine. Among all other physicist Feynman was the one most distinctively standing out as he was the one who could do the best job of familiarizing the layman with the ways of nature and things hard to grasp intuitively. I also like Sagan, but I found him more like inspirational guy, Feynman was one with magnificent explanations. A lot of that stuff can be found on youtube, but maybe the most precious fruits of his work I found in Six Easy Pieces: Essentials of Physics By Its Most Brilliant Teacher and Six Not-So-Easy Pieces: Einstein's Relativity, Symmetry, and Space-Time. For anyone wanting to get better understanding of physics and acquiring basics those are invaluable-do-not-miss. This book, although not bad, is not what you would want to get out of him. It will offer you glance at his personality, life and way of thinking but Feynmans real treasure is in him talking physics. This one can be viewed as desert after getting main dish. Nevertheless I liked it, because it is impossible to like his genius and personality. Once again he motivated me to go and dive deeper in wonders of universe.

Richard Feynman, a brillant scientific and a bad philospher .. -- This is what I got when I've read reviews here about that, but I said NO ! not that much, he should have some beautiful views about philosophy and epistemology, just similar to the beauty of his science and stories.. but unfortunately he hadn't, and the saddest thing was that he tried to answer methaphysical and religious questions using the scientific empirical method. NO Dr.Feynman, don't do it please !I will investigate the world without defining it ! -- Although what I think about his last articles, I've really enjoyed with him his anecdotes, childhood stories, and his justified positions about " titles, uniforms, prizes, .. ". Yes I've spent a lot of time reading about a man who gave all his life for science, did everything to get the truth, to understand how does the wold " behave ".. Peace on your soul Dr.Feynman, just still trying to follow your steps, to understand.. --16/07/201803/11/1439

OH MAN I LOVE YOU RICHARD FEYNMAN.While significantly more technical than Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! I still really appreciated the writing and his insights into the physical universe. I feel like more teenagers should read Feynman - he believes so strongly in LIVING and THINKING and WORKING while still enjoying oneself that he could do so much good for that age bracket. Also, as an aside - can you even imagine the conversations between this guy and Neil Degrasse Tyson? CAN YOU.

A collection of truly fun essays about all sorts of things. It's almost a kind of pick-me-up for the scientifically minded.Some of the best essays are the ones concerning nanotechnology, "What is Science?", and the discussion on religion - particularly interesting given the resurgence of non-belief in recent years.Not much new if you're already a devotee of Feynman, but I'd be happy to give my copy to someone new to him.

A very enjoyable read.
