Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman: Adventures of a Curious Character (Paperback)

Customer Review

I was flipping through TV channels one day, around 4 or 5 years ago, when i came upon a show with this guy playing bongo drums and singing about orange juice! Since I am a drummer, I was curious as to who the person was - he did not look at all like a drummer. In fact, he Looked more like a professor of somekind or another. I was intrigued and I kept watching this guy wailing away at the drums. Well, of course it turned out to be Richard Feynman. It was the first time I ever heard of Richard Feynman, but It was not the last. The TV show (it turned out to be a PBS Special) what about Feynman and his quest to visit a place called Tuva something. Anyway, They talked about Feynman and his life in physics and teaching, and I was mesmorized. After watching this show, I purchased a copy of the book "Surely, Your Joking, Mr. Feynman" and I have become a fan Feynman eversince. The book is inspirational. Feynman comes across as a "doer" who understands the difference between awareness and knowledge, and points out That You Can Only really ever know anything by doing. My only regret is did I never got to see a live Feynman lecture. HOWEVER, one can follow his Example and Continually Challenge Themselves by separating facts from opinions and assumptions, and by proving the facts Themselves (Therein lies true knowledge). All in all, an amazing book I would recomend to anyone just about!
