Summary
Among the book's many tales we meet Feynman's first wife, Arlene, who taught him of love's irreducible mystery as she lay dying in a hospital bed while he worked nearby on the atomic bomb at Los Alamos. We are also given a fascinating narrative of the investigation of the space shuttle Challenger's explosion in 1986, and we relive the moment when Feynman revealed the disaster's cause by an elegant experiment: dropping a ring of rubber into a glass of cold water and pulling it out, misshapen.

Learn a lot from a great mind.
I love the way Mr Feynman thinks. Surely one of the great scientists of the twentieth century, if not The greatest. He seems also a very human being who is interested in ordinary things as much as physics which he looks at as all part of the same thing.

ELI5
Richard Feynman has been ‘Explaining Like I’m Five’ decades before it became a thing.
He and a few others have an innate ability to convey the most complicated and abstract concepts, theories and solutions in a manner and language that even I understand.

Another Great Feynman Outing
I enjoyed this very much - it's not quite as funny as 'Surely You Must Be Joking, Mr Feynman', but it's very moving when dealing with his first wife. The Challenger enquiry chapter is fascinating. Well worth a listen if you liked the first book.

A great mind
A great mind, humble and self deprecating.
A hunger for knowledge and wisdom that lasted a lifetime.

Brilliant man
I am a great Richard Feynman fan, and was pleased to be able to download the audio version of this book. I love his stories, and his attitude. I did get a bit lost and lost concentration during some of the more technical descriptive parts - but overall - a brilliant book

Not as good as "Surely you must be joking..." but good
Good listen interesting stories. Not as varied topics as in the first book "Surely you must be joking Mr. Feynman" but I enjoyed this much a lot.
I had no problems with the narrator either. Good book

Eccentric and relatable.
This showed me the other side of human, not just the always jokey. Scientist depicted in so many articles.
I Especially liked the story of Eileen his first wife.

Fascinating, inspiring and entertaining
I really enjoyed this one, as I did the other one in the series.
I found that his attitude to life is inspiring and something I can learn from.
Also very entertaining.
I like the narration.
