Feynman's Rainbow: A Search for Beauty in Physics and in Life by Leonard Mlodinow

2.0

A nice, simplified explanation of certain theories in physics , but also a nice simplified explanation of a relationship he had long ago with the well-known physicist. There was barely enough to be a book so he spent about a third of the time telling us about his own pot smoking and search for meaning in his own career. These parts read quite poorly as this is a book written 20 years after the events happened yet he describes those details like they happened yesterday, and it's just not convincing. Some of the actual content from Feynman is interesting but those comments are just long sections of transcript. The best part of the book is his description of what makes physics really exciting and meaningful for the physicist who has an imagination.
