You've been clamoring for it and it's finally here! More clanging of the chimes on Will's bookstore door, more conversational meandering. More of Jonah suggesting they talk about books which Will hasn't looked at in decades but Jonah stubbornly thinks will be interesting anyway until he realizes, again, he's forced a topic which he wasn't prepared for. This topic is the physicist Richard Feynman. Apparently you can get free pdf's of this classic lighthearted romp through the intellect online. So, go give Feynman a looksee. The pleasures of thinking really do drip off the page. Come sit in the bookstore for a while.
On this week's 'Let's Talk Leadership' podcast Sandra is joined by Aayush Jain, Co-Founder and CEO at Greendeck and listed in the Top 100 Asian Stars in UK Tech 2020!Aayush has set up his own business twice! With a background in Biology, Aayush was always interested in tech and passionate about software, building projects in college and he started his first business with some friends. Aayush has a huge entrepreneurial spirit and has just launched a new tool (Cliff.ai) to monitor the metrics of a business, flagging anything out of the ordinary. Aayush's energy for using tech to help businesses is fantastic and key to how he leads his teams!Sandra and Aayush discuss bringing in the right people and Aayush really rates hiring young and getting people enthusiastic about the business mission. Here at TP we love developing people and helping them grow into their future role, so it was great to hear how Aayush and the Greendeck team do that too. Aayush is also a really keen reader and recommended “Surely You're Joking Mr Feynman” and “The Hard Thing About Hard Things” as reads he turned to time and time again. It's great to hear how Aayush has got to where he is now and we're sure there are greater things to come! Have a listen and let us know what you think.
Chris and Noah discuss Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! by Richard Feynman. It's a fun collection of autobiographical stories written by a humble and humorous author.
This book is about the interesting life of Nobel Prize winner Richard P. Feynman. Richard P. Feynman was acknowledged by many as the most intelligent scientist after Einstein. However, Feynman’s life was not all about physics. His hobbies ranged from cracking open safes and making bets, to playing pandeiro. Though surprising, this is true. This man, whom Bill Gates and Steve Jobs regarded as an idol, had a mischievous personality and was always full of passion. Since childhood, Feynman was unconventional by nature. The first time the wife of the Dean of the Princeton Graduate College met him, she exclaimed, "Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman!” Feynman was born full of curiosity for everything. With his father's guidance and education, he had a strong desire for knowledge since childhood. Although most of the book centers on Feynman's jokes and mischief, between the lines we can see the traces of Feynman's genius. This book revolves around the anecdotes that occurred in Feynman's life starting from his childhood. He grew up with a persistent personality, being determined to thoroughly figure out all that he was interested in. In addition, he did not study for usefulness, but instead simply for fun. Even when he later joined the "Manhattan Project" that created the atomic bomb, Feynman continued on in his pranking ways.
Caitlin, Anya, and Alan talk about a universe where they banged a physicist- and a universe where they didn’t. We also talk about Chapters 10-13 of The Golden Compass. We find out that John Calvin believed in boring things, that no cats were harmed in Schrödinger’s experiment, and #NotAllBears.The slur ‘Gypsy’ comes from a mutation of Egyptian. The Roma/ Sinti / Traveler people came from northern India, and not Africa.Anya’s equation for making gas from iron filings looks like this: With dilute H2SO4, you get a standard metal-acid redox reaction - Iron (II) Sulphate & hydrogen gas are the products: Fe (s) + H2SO4 (aq) → FeSO4 (aq) + H2 (g)Quantum Theory and The Uncertainty Principle are counter-intuitive, but have proven to be the most reliable mathematical model in Physics.Richard Feynman bragged about his womanizing in his loose autobiography ‘Surely You’re Joking Mr Feynman’. He often complains that women won’t give him the sex he wants, so what is the point in being polite to them?It is unclear who said, "Anyone who claims to understand quantum theory is either lying or crazy,” but it is often attributed to Feynman.What is Schrödinger's Cat?What is the Many-Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics?What is the Many-Worlds version of String Theory?The Multiverse TropeDeepak Chopra melds counter-intuitive science with mysticism, and sells a lot of books.The last thing Stephen Hawking wrote was “A Smooth Exit from Eternal Inflation?” which set a limit on the number of possible universes.What are the Northern Lights?Witches?John Calvin believed in the total sovereignty of God.Wait. The Puritans were real?A concise explanation of Calvin’s view on “Free Will”.Cartesian Dualism is a thing.Does a body need a mind to exist?Nature vs NurtureCanadian Geese are trigger-happy attack-dogs with wings.Beowulf was a were-bearTexas was its own countryWhat is a Zorro?Read Chapters 14-17 for next time!!Our theme song is Clockwork Conundrum by NathanGunnFollow us on Twitter: Anya @StrangelyLiterl Cailtlin @inferiorcaitlin The Podcast @MoTPodPlease email us contact@hallowedgroundmedia.com
Starting from this provocative idea, Sapiens goes on to retell the history of our species from a completely fresh perspective. It explains that money is the most pluralistic system of mutual trust ever devised; that capitalism is the most successful religion ever invented; that the treatment of animals in modern agriculture is probably the worst crime in history; and that even though we are far more powerful than our ancient ancestors, we aren’t much happier. By combining profound insights with a remarkably vivid language, Sapiens acquired cult status among diverse audiences, captivating teenagers as well as university professors, animal rights activists alongside government ministers. By 2018, over 10 million copies have been sold, and the book has been translated into nearly 50 languages. "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!": Adventures of a Curious Character is an edited collection of reminiscences by the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman. The book, released in 1985, covers a variety of instances in Feynman's life. Mr Feynman is a funny guy, you will love this book, well I did anyway.

Kalid Azad and I discuss August’s book, Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman. This is the autobiography of the Nobel-prize winning physicist, Richard Feynman. As I make the case at the start of the video, the benefit of reading biographies is that you get to see how someone very accomplished lived and thought in ways different from you. I find this a lot more effective than reading books expounding the virtues of creativity, curiosity or courage–you actually get to see how someone who embodied those characteristics lived in concrete terms.
Radical Candor™ is the ability to Challenge Directly and show you Care Personally at the same time. Radical Candor will help you and all the people you work with do the best work of your lives and build the best relationships of your career. Two nearly universal experiences make Radical Candor unnatural. One, most people have been told since they learned to talk some version of “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it at all.” When they become a boss, the very thing they have been taught not to do since they were 18 months old is suddenly their job. Furthermore, most people, since they got their first job, have been told to be “professional.” Too often, that’s code for leaving your humanity at home. But to build strong relationships, you have to Care Personally. You have to bring your whole self to work. Buy Radical Candor: Be a Kick-Ass Boss Without Losing Your Humanity.

Have you ever heard about this book? This book was recommended to me and I must say that this is not the type of book I usually read. However, I decided to take it a shot. And I must say I really liked it. Here is the book description, extracted from Amazon "A New York Times bestseller―the outrageous exploits of one of this century's greatest scientific minds and a legendary American original. Richard Feynman, winner of the Nobel Prize in physics, thrived on outrageous adventures. Here he recounts in his inimitable voice his experience trading ideas on atomic physics with Einstein and Bohr and ideas on gambling with Nick the Greek; cracking the uncrackable safes guarding the most deeply held nuclear secrets; accompanying a ballet on his bongo drums; painting a naked female toreador. In short, here is Feynman's life in all its eccentric―a combustible mixture of high intelligence, unlimited curiosity, and raging chutzpah." Wanna know more about this book?

Robbie Berg reads an excerpt from Surely You're Joking, Mr Feynman!, a memoir by Richard P. Feynman, published by W.W. Norton. "He kept telling everybody what a tremendous genius I was, saying, 'He fixes radios by thinking!'"
