Feynman Simplified
Found this pic over on hackernews. It's a Feyman Diagram of Feynman himself. It's wonderfully whimsical. Feyman Diagrams are pictures that describe calculations and mathematical expressions that govern the the behavior of subatomic particles.
I remember coming across "Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman" when I was in college. What's not to like... there's wisdom, humor, and of course, brilliance.
Reading the books, listening to lectures, and watching his videos you'll notice a few themes including... be curious, be skeptical, and search for your own understanding.
Some quotes from the book
"I don't know what's the matter with people: they don't learn by understanding, they learn by some other way — by rote or something. Their knowledge is so fragile!"
"Since then I never pay attention to anything by "experts". I calculate everything myself."
