This book can be called a kind of continuation of the wonderful autobiography “Of course you’re joking, Mr. Feynman!”, which has gone through a huge number of reprints around the world. The famous American physicist tells what components made up his attitude to work and life, his extraordinary performance and an exploratory spirit. The pages dedicated to the tragic story of his first love are amazingly frank. Already knowing that the bride was doomed, Richard Feynman nevertheless married her despite all the protests of his relatives. Here, too, he remained true to his principle: “Does it matter what others think?” A remarkable place in the book is devoted to the investigation of the causes of the tragic death of the Challenger space shuttle, which at one time shocked the whole world.
