This book in three questions:
What was the single most important concept I learned from reading?
While Feynman’s eagerness to learn is contagious. The core concept of this book is Feynman’s emphasis on the importance of understanding.
What specific passage left an impression?
“That was for me: I can’t understand anything in general unless I’m carrying along in my mind a specific example and watching it go.”
What has this book left me pondering?
True understanding is the ability to break something ‘complex’ or ‘complicated’ down to simple building blocks.
If you know something that’s complex but you cannot break it down to simple parts, you do not understand it. What do I think I understand but don’t fully?
