Richard Feynman was one of the world’s greatest theoretical physicists who won a noble prize for physics in 1965. He was a man who always jumped into an adventure. He was an artist, a story-teller and an everyday joker whose life was a combination of his intelligence, curiosity and uncertainty. The book is about his conversation with his friend Ralph Leighton that was first recorded and then penned down in this form giving it a wise, funny and passionate twist.
This book is autobiography of Feynman written in extraordinary way. It is a classic book written in an absolutely engaging way. The book describes his experimental & mischievous nature right from his childhood.
The book shows the contrast between the stereotypical image of a scientist that we have in our mind and how they actually can be. It is great book which outlines how one doesn't need to be a genius to be successful.

About the Author
"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)
