About this listen

 One of the greatest physicists of the twentieth century, Richard Feynman possessed an unquenchable thirst for adventure and an unparalleled ability to tell the stories of his life. What Do You Care What Other People Think? is Feynman's last literary legacy, prepared with his friend and fellow drummer, Ralph Leighton.

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.

Editorial Reviews

Why You Should Download This Audiobook: Richard Feynman is somewhat of a superstar at Audible. We have a wealth of material from him, and he's popular with both our technical and editorial staff. He's one of the first scientists to popularize subjects one thinks of as difficult, like physics. This is significant because since Feynman's death, introducing science to the layman has been a torch taken up most admirably by Stephen Hawking and Brian Greene. Feynman's final autobiographical collection contains pieces that are by turns touching and tragic, and not to be missed.

Critic Reviews

"Feynman's voice echoes raw and direct.' (The New York Times Book Review)

Much inspiring and interesting. As expected from Richard Feynman and his other books. Recommend it.

A very fun listen

This book is an extension of the excellent "Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman". The first part is, atleast. The stories of Mr. Feynman's adventures are interesting to listen to, the narrator has done a great job of capturing the feel. The second part has more technical details, but presented well. Good listen!

Most of the book is about the Columbia disaster investigation in which Feynman is a part of. Short stories and interesting thoughts unrelated to the Columbia disaster are also spread throughout. Last two sections are the best of the book talking about the Feynman’s report on Columbia disaster, and the value of science.

It shows a very detailed first person account of his investigation into the space shuttle accident worth it

I am not even qualified to judge this book. It is an excellent record of a genius of our era. Reading this book, I realised that the stereotype of the socially awkward and inflexible genius (e.g., Sherlock, House, etc.) comes from personalities like Dr. Feynman. Enjoyable book by a genius and can develop appreciation for science.

Excellent Dr. Feynman
