    I love Albert Einstein. I am lost for words to describe what a beautiful mind he had. This book is a collection of essays, letters, speeches that Einstein wrote. He was not only a brilliant physicist and a Nobel prize winner, but a wonderful humanitarian above all. This book showed that other side of Einstein. It changed my life forever. Truth, Kindness and Beauty - I'll remember these as "ideals that light my way and give me courage to face life cheerfully" as taught by the Person of the Century.

    It is rare that a scientist especially a physicist reaches the level of a rock star. Albert Einstein is one of the most recognized names in the entire world. Most people recognize his picture. People who have never taken a science course or a course in physics know who this man is. In his own words Albert Einstein wrote this book on important events in his life. The events were not just related to science but also to his many great passions and beliefs. This book is a must read. It is an adventure into the mind of a genius. He truly was a great scientist and humanist. After reading this book, it made me want to pursue more knowledge into the life of Albert Einstein.

    Some very memorable philosophical quotes which Socialists, Buddhists, and New Agers are sure to love, plus a lot more letters boring to those of us not embedded in the study of either the author, or middle twentieth century history.

    I just replaced this book. My old small hard cover copy lost its cover and pages were frayed to the point I didn't want to open it for fear of destroying it. It has been my favorite book for more than 20 years -- it embodies my philosophy of life and I so respect his articulation of god -- the most perfect wisdom, the most [?] beauty.
