Аннотация

[большой сборник писем Ричарда Фейнмана + редкие фотографии]

For readers who already appreciate Richard Feynman's place in scientific history, this collection of his correspondence will greatly enhance their appreciation of Richard Feynman the human being. There's honesty, bluntness, wit, compassion, empathy, and humor, sometimes all in the same letter. In addition to all his other admirable traits, Feynman is revealed to be an empath!

I was particularly touched by his reply to a former student who was making little progress in his scientific work and despaired of accomplishing anything significant in life. Showing great sympathy, Feynman proceeded to list all his own scientific failures and then exhorted him to remember that whether a human being is a success or not is not merely a matter of his scientific accomplishments. That one letter alone is worth the price of the book. Great insight from a wise man.
