Feynman. Richard Feynman was no ordinary genius. Brilliant, free-spirited and irreverent, he upset those in authority, gave captivating lectures, wrote equations on napkins in strip joints and touched countless lives everywhere. He also wrote hundreds of letters to friends, family, critics, colleagues and devoted fans around the world. Now these letters have been brought together for the first time. From down-to-earth advice to eager students to discussions of time travel and the atom bomb, and from blunt rebuttals to journalists to poignant exchanges with his first wife as she lay dying, they will introduce you to a unique person whose wisdom and lust for life inspired all those who came into his orbit. 'Nobel-winning physicist, expert bongo-player, safe-cracker and all-round genius, Feynman was, as this wonderful and inspiring collection records, also a champion letter-writer ... Witty, deadpan, warm ... some are unbearably poignant' Guardian 'Plain-speaking ... touching' Daily Telegraph 'He sparked excitement not just about science but also about the power of creativity, passion, curiosity' The New York Times Richard P. Feynman (1918-1988) was one of this century's most brilliant theoretical physicists and original thinkers. Feynman's other books, also available in Penguin, include QED , Six Easy Pieces , Six Not-so-Easy Pieces, Don't You Have Time to Think , The Pleasure of Finding Things Out , What Do You Care What Other People Think? and The Meaning of it All . Review: "A Feynman Movie"; The Best Feynman Book. - This book is a collection of letters by Feynman: ones he received, responded to, and other letters he wrote. It is literally a movie about his life; a documentary maybe? but at a great length: the sequence of letters, from early days in his life till our old Feynman, forms kind of a biography and how he went through his life. You'll get to absorb his wisdom and a sense of peace when you read this book. The best was the advice letters by him for students, but one for a dad too: The Last Letter! The Last Letter in the book is a surprise for us: a perfect movie-type ending! (the fact I realized, making me call this a movie!) The book is great for mid-teen Feynman fans, who enjoyed 'Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!' thoroughly. I'm writing this review after having this book for about two years, and I'll be going to college soon; I cannot tell you how much this book has impacted my ways of looking at life (and this book is by a scientist, not a philosopher!- something that Feynman himself asserts), and "understanding Feynman"! Next recommendation - 'The Meaning of It All: Thoughts of a Citizen-Scientist' -by Feynman. A tough, but rewarding book. Review: Spare some time for this book. - A lovely, lovely book. It is a collection of letters written by Feynman to many of his family members, friends and colleagues. We all know that Feynman was a brilliant scientist with great interest in music and safe cracking. From his letters we get to know what a great human being Feynman was. His daughter has done a wonderful job of compiling his letters. Do buy this book if you are, like myself, a fan of Feynman. You won’t be disappointed. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #55,335 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #153 in Diaries & Journals #198 in Physics (Books) #833 in Literary Theory, History & Criticism | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 116 Reviews | ## Images ![Don't You Have Time to Think? - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71oKptalL8L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "A Feynman Movie"; The Best Feynman Book. *by R***N on 12 December 2021* This book is a collection of letters by Feynman: ones he received, responded to, and other letters he wrote.

It is a collection of letters written by Feynman to many of his family members, friends and colleagues. We all know that Feynman was a brilliant scientist with great interest in music and safe cracking. From his letters we get to know what a great human being Feynman was.

You won’t be disappointed. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Peerless, profound, delightful. *by V***N on 27 February 2018* "Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible." Feynman speaks to the part of me around which I have built my whole life, the part of me which is sometimes in danger of being stifled to death if it is not spoken to in the way Feynman does. This collection of his correspondence with people around the globe - friends, lovers, fans, critics - is an absolute joy to read. Some of it is positively cathartic. "The real fun of life" - he writes in one of the letters at the end of his life - "is this perpetual testing to realize how far out you can go with any potentialities." And I don't want to miss on that fun because of, as Feynman would put it, "some erroneous ideas of what is worthwhile." Worth reading again and again.
