Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman

"Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" is a collection of humorous, insightful, and often surprising autobiographical stories by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman. The book recounts adventures from his childhood, university years, scientific career, and personal life.

Through anecdotes about physics, safe-cracking, art, language learning, practical jokes, and his work on the Manhattan Project, Feynman reveals his curiosity, skepticism, and unconventional approach to both science and life. The stories were adapted from recorded conversations with his friend Ralph Leighton.
