User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I bought this book mainly to get a grasp on Einstein’s feelings about education. The greatest mind of the modern age, pulling from personal experience as both a teacher and a student, lays down some very good ideas about what education should be about. I was also entertained by Einstein’s global perspective, although I believe that the formation of a Utopian society is wishful thinking since there would still need to be a government of flawed human beings that were capable of corruption. Overall it is a great collection of letters and speeches by one of my favorite teachers, with the added bonus of his point of view on many things that plague our generation to this day. It is a very easy book to read and almost impossible to put down. The contents are infinitely better than the pseudo-intellectual bull-stuff that lay between the ears of many educators, scientists, and politicians of these perilous. I recommend this book to teachers, parents, scientists, politicians, and layman. Everyone can enjoy the simplicity of Einstein’s arguments and thoughts.

⭐There is much more to Einstein than what the public generally knows/perceives. Einstein’s writings provides a close, personal, and touching insight to a celebrated genius and, even, celebrity. These writings provide a fascinating insight to the man and his philosophy and beliefs.

⭐In spite of the absence of the pronoun alluding to the existence of more than half the earth’s population — women — this is a deeply engaging philosophical text on all arenas of the great thinker’s interest. Letters, essays, and notes on a panoply of important domains will add to your critical thinking, and in digestible snippets.

⭐I prefer non-fiction books to fiction and it was eye-opening to read the opinions from one of the greatest minds of the last century on topics that were not related to his area of expertise (theoretical physics, AKA the original Sheldon Cooper). I recommend everyone put this book on their reading bucket list.This is one of those books that took a while to read because every sentence was read multiple times and then pondered over for a few seconds/minutes until moving to the next idea. Einstein had an amazing ability to cut past the BS and apply plain logic to whatever issue he was addressing. He was a genius in all aspects of life and more people should try to achieve the intellectual freedom he had. His writings have definitely re-opened that inquisitive, knowledge-yearning part of my brain that has been dormant for a few years.Some of the sentence structure was hard to read, I found myself reading and re-reading the passages in the first 30 pages until I my brain got used to Einstein’s writing rhythm. Its either a language barrier, since English was not Einstein’s first language (I think), or his grammar and sentence structure is so perfect that his writing looks weird to a 21st century reader. The YOLO generation might experience a brain bleed from Einsten’s esoteric writing.

⭐By that I don’t mean it in a bad way. His way of looking at life is definitely peculiar. But very interesting. Some of his writings I wasn’t particularly interested in but it made for an interesting read when it comes to the rest of the book.I really liked his answer to the question “what is the meaning of life?””To know an answer to this question means to be religious…. The man who regards his own life and that of his fellow creatures as meaningless is not merely unhappy but hardly fit for life.”Way to go buddy. I like you.

⭐A comprehensible book for the layman like me. There are a couple of chapters that explain the theory of relativity; all other chapters cover Einstein’s views, letters, and speeches on different subjects. It is a book worth reading if you want to know Einstein’s thoughts on life in general.

⭐Phenomenal read.

⭐The Modern Library hardcovers are nice stylish little volumes on the shelf, and they hold up well over several readings so well worth getting one over the paperback edition. I bought this for a scientist colleague of mine at work as a gift for his help during this difficult period, but couldn’t resist scrolling through and giving this a read in the days before I could hand it over. While of course you’re familiar with Einstein’s scientific work, it’s truly fascinating to read his thoughts here on a whole host of other topics – Germany in the 1930s, disarmament, education, philosophy. Agree with his ideas and opinions or not, they’re interesting little insights into both the man and the subject he’s addressing. A must read for those interested in Einstein (or if you’ve just finished the Walter Isaacson biography and want to go a little deeper)!

⭐I had bought two other books titled “The world as I see it” only to discover, after the purchase, that they were incomplete translation of the original work in German. This book finally contains, in particular, the very interesting pages “On the Method of Theoretical Physics” , Einstein’s Herbert Spencer Lecture delivered at Oxford in 1933.

⭐A lovely edition. Highly recommended!

⭐Einstein resume com clareza inigualável o seu entendimento da vida, da ciência, da filosofia, da política e tantos outros campos.Acima de tudo, o livro é a interpretação, por uma das mentes mais brilhantes da história, da totalidade da produção intelectual humana. É um verdadeiro alívio para a insanidade, e as marteladas da filosofia e da sociedade dos séculos precedentes, de cujo caos Einstein consegue extrair sentido.

⭐es un excelente libro con la forma de pensamiento de Einstein sobre la vida de su tiempo, lo cual sigue siendo válido en la actualidad.Sus comentarios son precisos y con un gran sentido del respeto del y hacia el ser humano

⭐Did not know his other philosophical side. Interesting
