Review: "What Do You Care What Other People Think?": Further Adventures of a Curious Character

"What Do You Care What Other People Think?": Further Adventures of a Curious Character by Richard P. Feynman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hooter: A serious follow up to his first book sharing anecdotes on his life expecially the probe on the Challenger failure

Richard Feynman has always been a curious character right from my school days when I landed my hands on his "Surely you must be joking Mr Feynman" - a Sheldon Cooper in real life to an extent when you talk about IQ and higher EQ than Sheldon for sure. The way he shares his perspectives on various aspects of life and his interactions with the world at large make for interesting reading with the candour he affords to show. Really disheartening to hear of his first love but how he continues to trudge along through life. The inside look into the whole process of a presidential probe on one of the biggest scientific disasters of that time gives unique insights to the process and the thoughts behind it. As a Feynman fanboy, this was a good read into one of the scientific luminaries of the 20th Century.
