Drawing from examples on the sports ground to battlefields, David makes a convincing argument that you can indeed succeed without being a jerk.

Albert Einstein overhauled our understanding of the universe—from the sub-atomic level to beyond the edges of the cosmos. Today his ideas are in evidence everywhere, from televisions and GPS systems, to our understanding of black holes and the Big Bang. But who was Einstein as a person? What were his theories that upended established scientific beliefs? And how did his work inadvertently contribute to some of the 20th century's most devastating acts of warfare?  This is a Short History of Albert Einstein. Written by Dan Smith. With thanks to David Bodanis, author of Einstein's Greatest Mistake, and E=mc2: A Biography of the World's Most Famous Equation.

Generations have grown up knowing that the equation E=mc2 changed the shape of our world, but never understanding what it actually means, why it was so significant, and how it informs our daily lives today--governing, as it does, everything from the atomic bomb to a television's cathode ray tube to the carbon dating of prehistoric paintings. In this book, David Bodanis writes the "biography" of one of the greatest scientific discoveries in history--that the realms of energy and matter are inescapably linked he turns a seemingly impenetrable theory into a dramatic human achievement and an uncommonly good story.David Bodanis is a speaker, business advisor and writer of bestselling nonfiction books, notably E=mc2: A Biography of the World's Most Famous Equation, which was translated into 26 languages. Originally from Chicago, he received an undergraduate education in mathematics, physics and economics at the University of Chicago (AB 1977). He lived in France for ten years from his early twenties and has since been based in London.

Join us to hear David Bodanis make a fresh, detail-rich argument that the most productive way to lead is to be fair to others. Conventional wisdom is that "nice guys finish last," but maybe that just means that too many nice guys are too conventional. And it probably does not mean that one has to be a bully, schooled in Machiavellian tactics, to succeed. The Art of Fairness reveals how it was fairness, applied with skill, that led the Empire State Building to be constructed in barely a year. And how the same techniques transformed a quiet English debutante into an acclaimed guerrilla fighter. In 10 vivid profiles featuring pilots, presidents, and even the producer of "Game of Thrones," Bodanis demonstrates that the path to greatness doesn't require crushing displays of power or a tyrannical ego. With surprising insights from across history, including the downfall of the very man who popularized the phrase “nice guys finish last,” Bodanis charts a refreshing and sustainable approach to cultivating integrity and influence.

If you've interacted with society in the last few few years, you'll probably agree that the world has become a meaner place.

It is a tough life, and I believe work politics are the main reason people come from their jobs miserable.

The Art of Fairness: David Bodanis, New York Times best-selling author, speaks with host Richard Levick of LEVICK about his new book, The Art of Fairness: The Power of Decency in a World Turned Mean. Mr. Bodanis, who has written multiple best-selling books, including E-mc2: A Biography of the World's Most Famous Equation, which became a PBS series, discusses how firm but kind and gentle is the most successful long term form of leadership. Jerks and bullies may at first succeed, until their eventual comeuppance with the long knives. The self-appointed self-righteous often fare no better. Through well researched stories on FDR, Clement Attlee, Vince Lombardi, Leo Durocher and many more, he reveals a better path to leadership.

Why is it that nice guys always seem to finish last? There's something that doesn't seem fair about the jerks in the world winning in business and life. Does a middle ground exist, and is that the secret spot for success? David Bodanis argues there is a middle ground and using effective listening, respect and trust techniques and practices is the secret recipe to success. He joins us today to tell some incredible stories of how these principles have played out in people's lives in the past, so you can make better decisions in the future.

SPEAKERS David Bodanis Futurist, Public Speaker, Author of Einstein’s Greatest Mistake and Passionate Minds In conversation with George Hammond Author of Conversations With Socrates In response to the Coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak, this program took place and was recorded live via video conference, for an online audience only, and was live-streamed from The Commonwealth Club of California in San Francisco on May 6th, 2020.

Emilie du Chatelet was esteemed in 18th-century France as a brilliant physicist, mathematician, thinker and linguist whose pioneering ideas and formidable translations were known all across Europe. And yet, after her death in childbirth in her mid-40s she was nearly forgotten, and if she was remembered at all, then as a companion and collaborator of the famous writer Voltaire. Du Chatelet's insights into kinetic energy foreshadowed Einstein's famous equation and her suggestions for experiments with the different colours of light would only be carried out half-a-century after she'd written about them. Plus she was a remarkable personality, determined to live a life of an independent woman, often pushing the boundaries of what was acceptable even in the liberal social circles of her day. Bridget Kendall discusses du Chatelet's life and work with history professor Judith Zinsser, Chatelet's biographer David Bodanis and philosophy professor Ruth Hagengruber.

Since 2008, Big Think has been sharing big ideas from creative and curious minds. The Think Again podcast takes us out of our comfort zone, surprising our guests and Jason Gots, your host, with unexpected conversation starters from Big Think’s interview archives. Physicist Lawrence Krauss directs the Origins Project at Arizona State University, which fosters scientific research and collaborations on origins – of life, the universe, and everything. His own research focuses on the interface between elementary particle physics and cosmology, including investigations into dark matter and the origin of all mass in the universe. His latest book The Greatest Story Ever Told - So Far is a deeply entertaining and informative account of the progress of knowledge in modern physics. In this episode: To what extent and in what sense does science represent "reality"? You don't have to paint like Picasso to enjoy a Picasso...so why are non-scientists often reluctant to engage with complex scientific concepts? Is tribalism an essential part of human nature? A passionate, witty back-and-forth with a leading physicist who is also one of our most poetic defenders and explainers of science. Surprise conversation starter interview clips: Sebastian Junger on tribalism and democracy, Kevin Kelly on “cognification”, David Bodanis on Einstein’s rejection of a random universe Learn more about your ad choices.

Finally, author David Bodanis discusses his latest book, "Einstein's Greatest Mistake: A Biography."

Science writer David Bodanis has entertained and informed readers with books such as ‘E=mc2’ and ‘Einstein’s Greatest Mistake’, in which he brings to life ideas that used to be off-limits to all but the privileged few. We asked him how he does it, and how you can borrow his techniques, whatever you’re writing. Plus we share some pro tips for making big ideas connect with even bigger audiences.
