Don't You Have Time To Think?

Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman was no ordinary scientist. He also wrote equations on napkins in Pasadena strip joints, played the bongo drums, cracked safes for fun while working on the atom bomb, gave captivating lectures, upset those in authority and touched countless lives around the world.

Throughout his extraordinary career Richard Feynman wrote regularly to friends and family, to his fans around the world, and to colleagues eager for advice. This collection of his letters has been lovingly woven into a life story by his daughter Michelle Feynman. They provide a unique portrait of a man whose passion and commitment inspired all who were lucky enough to come within his orbit. Feynman's letters are direct and uncompromising; patient, thoughtful, always humorous, he challenges his readers to be true to themselves and not to accept conventional wisdom. He is also, in this, his personal correspondence, exceptionally entertaining.
