Einstein: His Life and Universe Audio Book Summary:
Albert Einstein is one of the smartest individuals in history. He revolutionized how we view the universe and his theories were way beyond their time. But who was the man behind the scientific equations? How did Einstein view the world and what is the reason behind his superb intellect? Walter Isaacson puts forth an in-depth look of the man who changed history and how his rebellious nature helped develop his scientific mind and thirst for truth. This audiobook autobiography shows how creativity goes hand in hand with freedom.
Walter Isaacson compiles the newly released letters of Albert Einstein in order to paint a more vivid picture of the man behind the genius. Isaacson shows the fascinating story of how a highly imaginative patent clerk, a father and husband going through a difficult marriage, a man who can’t obtain a doctorate and teaching job become the man who unlocks the mysteries of the universe. Albert Einstein was always a curious person who questions conformist perception and was interested in elements that most would deem too humdrum. This then led him to embrace freedom of thought and expression. His traits are what made him who he is and his rebellious mind helped usher in the scientific revolution of the modern age.
One reason to listen:
Albert Einstein is one of the most fascinating and remarkable personalities in our history. Walter Isaacson helps show listeners a different side to the man not seen before.

Reactions:
“While this book is not “Physics in One Simple Lesson,” Walter Isaacson did a wonderful job of telling the story of the man and making the scientific aspects sufficiently understandable to be useful in grasping the magnitude of Einstein’s intellect.” – D. Buxman
“Walter Isaacson’s sweeping new book about one of the great minds in life is a tribute to Albert Einstein through his life and his work. For those of us who know the renowned physicist through equations and reputation, Isaacson fills in the rest.” – John Hunt
“This is an exceptionally balanced book. It is a good dose of science for those without a math-physics background, presented in a generally understandable way. It offers lovely insights into the man, his contributions, and his values. This is an inspiring and a treat to read.” – Mark W. Lediard
“Walter Isaacson’s biography of Einstein creates a fuller better rounded image of one of the finest minds of the 20th Century than many biographies of Einstein. Although it’s not without its flaws, Issacson’s book covers much of Einstein’s life pointing out both his successes and flaws as both a person and physicist.” – Wayne Klein
“Biographies of scientists, artists and philosophers can sometimes be frustrating reads when the life narrative isn’t as interesting as the subject’s body of work. Isaacson does a fair job of this. It’s virtually impossible to fully do it with Einstein while omitting nearly all the math, but at least Isaacson manages to get it done without losing the essence of what made Einstein’s work fascinating.” – Odysseus
