"Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!": Adventures of a Curious Character

Richard P. Feynman, winner of the Nobel Prize in physics, thrived on outrageous adventures. In this lively work that "can shatter the stereotype of the stuffy scientist" (Detroit Free Press), Feynman recounts his experiences trading ideas on atomic physics with Einstein and cracking the uncrackable safes guarding the most deeply held nuclear secrets-and much more of an eyebrow-raising nature. In his stories, Feynman's life shines through in all its eccentric glory-a combustible mixture of high intelligence, unlimited curiosity, and raging chutzpah. Included for this edition is a new introduction by Bill Gates.

one of the best books i have ever read..Comic+Scientific+Inspiring.. A must have.. Comical and scientific..Feynmann was great..Fun reading this one..inspiring too on how to develop scientific thinking..Must for a science explorer..I have read biographies of many scientists and I found none’s life as interesting as his..please give this book a read..This is the first book I read on Feynman and I am a big fan now and ordered 3 more books on him..every page will make you more excited..
The incredible life of Feynman might teach you how to build self-esteem and to think out of the box My best reading of 2016. Brilliant book, funny and full of learnings. I'm no native English speaker and I had no problems following it. I would recommend it to anyone interested (even slightly) in science, but as well to anyone who feels that he/she has to say something in this world. A beautiful history of a man who always lived his life as he wanted and did it brilliantly!
Only fairly interesting - if that Recent editions of this book come with an imprint from Bill Gates himself praising this book for its wit and fun. Equally, it has also appeared in some (not a lot) lists of the "best books on popular science" and such. Not to these eyes. The text is a collection (I insist: an accumulation, not a connected set of essays) written by the late Dr Feynman, roughly along his life. These are more - mere - anecdotes, yet not experiences. It starts when the author is a child and from there the anecdotes carry on through an adolescence, youth, maturity, manhood and professional success. But the problem is what I mentioned above: these are loose things that happened to the man, some funny-ish, some mildly interesting, almost all plainly forgettable. I couldn't mention one either remarkable or memorable. The reader, half way into each of the chapters, expects a bomb that does not happen. So in the end (if you manage to get there) the result is quite disappointing. It is a fact that Dr Feynman was a very intelligent man; he was not a very good writer.
If you want to live your life completely then you should read this. What a curious character who tried everything in life from education to enjoyment. I have still been wondering about how he had managed his time to do all these things like enjoying with girls, Ph.D., painting, participating in the music band, working in Army, Doing projects. Now I am experimenting with my life everywhere.
Very funny, insightful, and a great read. I love this book. Constructed from a series of interviews, it covers Richard Feynman's life from childhood to probably the late 1970's. Clearly it's from his point of view, and only covers areas he felt like discussing, so there's very little about his marriage (although there is another book which has more detail on that), and nothing about the Challenger disaster (again, another book). But the anecdotes are interesting, some are hilarious, and I've managed to get my son to read and enjoy this as well. His time with the Manhattan Project is a particular source of amusement, and his move to Brazil is another rich fountain of anecdotes. The Big Bang Theory has probably brought his name to the attention of another generation of people. You've probably got at least 2 series' worth of material in this book.
