" Richard P Feynman may now be one of my new intellectual inspirations. This collection of short thoughts and memories describes several points in his life. Additionally, he reveals the behind the scenes workings of the Challenger investigation. Throughout it all, his pure thinking, individual (almost idiosyncratic) way of approaching the world and his love for science are clear. "

" This is the 2nd of Feynman's memoirs and I really enjoy his style. His books have a lot of historical context information as well as his personal opinion about absolutely everything which I find really entertaining. "

" This is more of Richard Feynman at his best. Although I have no reason to doubt that Feynman was a blatant narcissist,these writings are nevertheless important to understanding modern physics.. as well as some other oddities about one of Physics' most curious characters. This book is extremely funny and thought provoking and extremely interesting. If nothing else, this book is a wonderful means of understanding how to develop one's own self esteem. You begin to undesrstand how simple interest in problems took this man to a wonderful and brilliant career. You don't even have to know any science to read it. "

" great follow-up, tho half the book is dedicated to his advisory in the challenger shuttle disaster and thus a bit more intense. but it's all good with the inclusion of his manifesto, "the value of science" -- that one is pure gold. "

" Good book about a great man. Feynman's accounting of his position on the Challenger accident review board perfectly illustrates how bureacracy can so easily mask incompetency by just moving slowly. Like Carl Sagan, Feynman seems like the kind of man I would really have enjoyed talking to. "
