Welcome to Litsy!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️5/5

Beyond his impressive scientific contributions, Einstein was known as a peacemaker and civil-rights advocate, and has called himself an agnostic rather than an atheist.

Will have to start this book all over again. Just discovered that the audio I am listening to is abridged. Not kool.

I am finding that Mr. Isaacson may not have undertaken the project of writing Mr. Einstein's life with out a certain amount of prejudice on his part to help in the minimizing of Mrs. Einstein. Even though he clearly keeps making reference to which I can see she foot print in Albert Einstein's life.

Thanks to Marie Benedict I am on a quest to see if Albert Einstein was really such a jerk.

"In teaching history, there should be extensive discussion of personalities who benefited mankind through independence of character and judgment." (Einstein)

"Imagination is more important than knowledge." (Einstein)

"To punish me for my contempt for authority, fate made me an authority myself." (Einstein)

"It is important to foster individuality, for only the individual can produce new ideas." (Einstein)

This was a great read. Very interesting to see how his life went and who he was

Starting 2019 off right and starting my goal of at least 12 nonfiction books for the year.

My latest audiobook. I know very little about Einstein and I am learning so much! What a fascinating genius!! Edward Herrmann is a great narrator!!

No bookmarks to make tonight so catching up on Genius 🤗

I have a never ending tbr and a growing library! Book buying is my only problem and my husband fully indulges me 😍🤗📚📚

I recently watched the series Genius based on Isaacson's book of Einstein's life. Great show and Einstein certainly qualifies as a #workaholic

About the life of Einstein, this book gives so many insights about the genius' life, his relationships, how his scientific career begun and developed, his opinions in matters of politics, religion...
It was very interesting getting to know Einstein as the person he was rather than only by his equations.

Interesting blend of his life and approachable science. Extremely well read. Loving it so far.

The science was way over my head, but his life was fascinating! And Edward Herman was such a great narrator.

Anyone watching this on National Geographic channel? I'm watching with my book club. We chose The Other Einstein as our pick this month.

Here is my box-o-bookmarks for #riotgrams Day 16! I try to use them as much as possible, but I end up *gasp* dog earring pages. 😳

"Nationalism is the measles of humanity." --#Einstein Great #biography with #humor too! #Grammys #piano #music

I have not read this biography yet, nor the Cheever bio, on the bottom, and I've only started (and stalled on) The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet. I'm not scared of big books at all, really!! Gotta snap to it soon. #deckleEdge #feistyFeb.

Isaacson writes a fantastic biography! The audio is narrated by Edward Herrmann, aka Richard Gilmore. #GilmoreGirls

Inciteful!

The relationship between Albert Einstein and Mileva Maric is interesting to read about but actually kind of sad and heartbreaking.

We always hear E= mc2 & see a frazzled old man sticking out his tongue, but that's about it. This incredible bio will bring AE vividly to life for you! It was also a great 20th-Century history lesson and intro to physics. He was fun, witty, sensitive, flawed, quirky, & ahead of his time. You may get bogged down a bit with the unavoidable science. The audio's narrator is the best of the best. #PairWith: Chateau Saint-Cyrgues Blanc 2015, chilled.

I really liked this book. I didnt love it as much as the Steve Jobs biography but this was really good. It just has so much SCIENCE!!!! I was a science major so I'm kind of geek but this was an essential part of him and it was a little overwhelming at times.

And to think i paid zero attention to quantum physics in high school-I am truly loving this book!
