I'm a big fun of Charlie Munger's writings and he put me in the direction of this book. It's deceptively simple. You start reading and think these are twee stories well told. It took me a couple of months to get really into it, but then each chapter needed to be read slowly to absorb its insight and idiosyncratic wisdom.
I love the way he says something by weaving it with stories from every day life, where he was at a particular time, what he did, and what happened afterwards. I'm a non-conformist, and I found Feynman a reassuring and inspiring kindred spirit. He's not impressed by much. He'd rather have turned down the Nobel Prize and he has a playful attitude to sex, authority and responsibility. What a cool and brilliant ... Read More: >>More Details |

What Do You Care What Other People Think?: Further Adventures of a Curious Characterby: Richard P. Feynman, Ralph Leighton February 23, 1989 |

Don't pretend you wrote it yourself. Ghostwritten "auto"biographies are rubbish - how much is actually from the subject? Try it this way. Have conversations with your "ghostwriter" who can put on paper what you have said.
Result - A sparkling, humerous and easily read piece which actually serves to put across some of the character of the subject. Lots of great stories here, and yet again RF could be accused of being too full of his own importance, but surely that's what makes someone a genius. A shrinking violet wouldn't have had half as interesting a life as RF, or "Ofey" as we may call him perhaps. This (and "surely you're joking") are possible the best autobiographies, or indeed biographies I have read. BRILLIANT! ... Read More: >>More Details |
