What a fantastic and entertaining group of short vignettes! Each is just long enough that you can pick up and read it when you've got 10 minutes or so to spare. The final one is especially moving and motivating.
Each is fun and interesting and tells about a different part of Feynman's life - from playing Samba music at Carnivale to having his paintings displayed in an art showing. This guy was way ahead of his time in *how* he thought about things. I absolutely love his no-BS stance toward pomposity and organization-led education.
