Audio Book Description:
How did Einstein`s mind work? What made him a genius? Isaacon`sbiography shows how his scientific imagination sprang from the rebellious nature of hispersonality. His fascinating story is a testament to the connection between creativity and freedom. Based on the newly released personl letters ofAlbert Einstein, Walter Isaccson explores how an imaginative, impertinentpatent clerk-a struggling father in a difficult marriage who couldn`t get ateaching job or a doctorate-became the mind reader of the creator of the cosmos, the locksmith of the mysteries of the atom and the universe. Hissuccess came from questioning conventional wisdom andmarveling at mysteries that struck others as mundane. This led him to embrace amorality and politics based on respect for free minds, free spirits, and free individuals. These traits are just as vital for this new century ofglobalization,in which our success will depend on our creativity, as they were for the beginning of the last century, when Einstein helped usher in themodern age.
