Description
In this insightful memoir, a young physicist arrives at Caltech and finds an extraordinary mentor in Richard Feynman, one of the twentieth century’s most brilliant and unconventional scientists. Over the course of a year, their conversations range across science, mathematics, creativity, art, love, ambition, happiness, and faith, revealing how intellectual curiosity can shape a life. As Feynman confronts illness and Mlodinow faces the insecurities and challenges of beginning a career in physics, the book becomes a candid meditation on discovery, mentorship, and the courage to pursue meaningful questions. Warm, reflective, and intellectually playful, it offers an intimate portrait of both a scientific legend and an aspiring scientist finding his way.
