Title: Give me a break. The book reeks of phoniness.
Product review: While the title seems to imply that the author was such a "free spirit" that he couldn't be shackled by others' limited capacity for life, what comes through between the lines at every turn is man who in fact was quite vane and wanted others to worship him.Now, as a professional physicist myself, I am fully aware of Feynman's contribution to physics. That's where he's outstanding and deserves respect. Outside of the realm of his craft, it's quite another story. In truth, the opinions and actions depicted in the book can best be described as smart-alecky and perhaps juvenile, not anything of depth. Nonetheless, over the years an industry of Feynman groupies (many of them physicists, of course) has formed. This book will be primarily of interest to these uncritical Feynman fans. If you think for yourself, on the other hand, I believe you will find the book disingenuous.
