With his characteristic eyebrow-raising behavior, Richard P. Feynman once provoked the wife of a Princeton dean to remark, "Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman!" But the many scientific and personal achievements of this Nobel Prize-winning physicist are no laughing matter. Here, woven with his scintillating views on modern science, Feynman relates the defining moments of his accomplished life.

Richard Feynman is a true hero to me. His irreverent worldview feels entirely at home and quite inspiring even well over 100 years since his birth. This collection of anecdotes really allows one to get to know the man.
The performance of this audiobook was especially excellent. I was really able to believe with ease that I was listening to Mr. Feynman himself. The dry humor and sharp intelligence at the core of his personality come across perfectly.
