Feynman’s Rainbow

I’ve been getting books on tape recently and spend a nice Sunday morning drinking coffee and listening to Leonard Mlodinow’s book Feynman’s Rainbow. Mlodinow describes his angst and self-doubt as a newly appointed post-doc at Caltech in the eighties. He recounts the advice given by various mentors and colleagues, and as the title indicates, on of them is Richard Feynman. It was incredibly reassuring to hear these feelings I’ve harbored shared by the heroes of science.
