Einstein: His Life and Universe

How did Einstein's mind function? What made him so brilliant? Isaacson's biography demonstrates how his scientific imagination arose from his rebellious personality. His fascinating story demonstrates the link between creativity and freedom. all presented in Einstein: His Life and Universe by Walter Isaacson.

Based on Albert Einstein's newly released personal letters, Walter Isaacson explores how an imaginative, impertinent patent clerk, a struggling father in a difficult marriage who couldn't get a teaching job or a doctorate, became the mind reader of the cosmos' creator, the locksmith of the atom and the universe. His success came from challenging conventional wisdom and marveling at mysteries that others dismissed as trivial. As a result, he adopted morality and politics based on respect for free minds, free spirits, and free individuals.

These characteristics are just as important in this new century of globalization, where success will be determined by creativity, as they were at the beginning of the previous century when Einstein helped usher in the modern era.
