A good read for a bigger perspective

Ideas and Opinions

By Albert Einstein, Sonja Bargmann (Translator)

'Ideas and Opinions' is a collection of writings by Albert Einstein. The writings are organised in sections including politics, science, philosophy, etc. 

The book intrigued me because I wanted to know what one of the greatest mind on earth thought about the world. The book isn't an autobiography but the collection of letters and lectures gives you a peep inside the great mind of a great thinker. Though, not everyone will agree to all the views in the book, still it is amazingly interesting, engaging and intellectually stimulating.

As a student, many of us have cursed great scientist (not literally) for the amount of complex theories they left us to mug up. But read this book and you will get to know the human side of Albert Einstein and how his ideas and opinions, decades ago, were much more better than what most of us in this modern world have.

It is surprising how his ideas are prevalent in today's time too.

You will be amazed by the thought process and notions of a man who postulated the 'Theory of Relativity'. 

A good read and I must, I suggest. Thought provoking and invigorating.

Note: If you are a young student, reading this book before mugging all the theories, will definitely help you! Not that the theories will get easier, but they will certainly get interesting once you get to know the man behind them.)
