Sample Book Insights:

#1 I grew up reading books in my father’s bookcase, and while I was never forbidden to read them, I never saw anyone take one down. The books were massive tomes that seemed almost fused to the shelves. But the one that stood out was The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus.

#2 I found it difficult to believe that scientific progress could make any difference to our assessment of life’s worth. If our experiences only paint a paltry portrait of reality, our appraisal of life would be thoroughly compromised.

#3 Modern science has shown that human experience is often a misleading guide to the true nature of reality. The most important and influential of these revisions is the understanding of space and time, which has been shaped by modern physics.

#4 Space and time are the two most important concepts in physics. They are the raw material underlying reality. Through his theories of relativity, Einstein revealed the principal role they play in the evolution of the universe.
