Funny and interesting. Something for the educationalists as well.

Richard Feynman led an extraordinary life. The highlights of his C.V. alone are baffling achievements for one man -- from presenting to Einstein early in his career to working on the atomic bomb--, but his quirky mischief such as lock-picking at Los Alamos and drumming in the woods at night while chanting add even more color to his life. Feynman had a tireless curiosity and this book highlighted Feynman's inexorable quest towards new horizons.

I liked his commentary on scientific integrity and science education
scobjob's review against another edition
I can appreciate Feynman’s incredible scientific legacy and his creativity and willingness to explore life, but he is insufferable and not self-reflective. Casual misogyny is not appreciated, but I understand this was more common and not remarkable or chastised at the time. Overall, it feels like he uses people and experiences for his own purpose of having a fun life.

The book is awesome. It deals with personal adventures of Dr. Richard Feynman, a Nobel Laureate and lot more. The adventure goes on in different fields- learning, teaching, the Manhattan Project, playing drums, drawing nudes, Quantum Electrodynamics, topless bars, Nobel Prize and more!
This book is a must read for passionate science students, scientists and anyone who is interested in 'living' life differently. It will definitely teach how to perceive life from a complete different perspective.
I am so much interested in this man now, I am currently reading "What Do You Care What Other People Think: Further Adventures of A Curious Character."
