How to Think Like Stephen Hawking Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions

A unique insight into the mind of one of the world's most extraordinary thinkers.

Undoubtedly the most famous scientist on the planet and the very face of physics over the last half-century, Stephen Hawking is remarkable for many reasons. Not least because he has continued to strive to achieve so much while being hamstrung by debilitating illness. He has demonstrated categorically that if you put your mind to it, you can achieve anything, no matter your physical state.

Of course, it helps if you happen to possess a mind such as his. His work on black holes put him on the map, and he became globally famous for his A Brief History of Time, communicating the most difficult scientific ideas at a period when he'd lost the ability to speak.

How to Think Like Stephen Hawking reveals the key motivations, desires and philosophies that make Hawking one of the world's most enduring talents. Studying how he overcame great adversity, fought his demons as well as his detractors and looked back to the origins of the universe, with quotes and passages by and about him, you too can learn to think like the man who claims he can think in eleven dimensions.

Hande Z
3.0 out of 5 stars Great minds
Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2018
This book is part biography and part motivational book. So far as both are concerned, it lacks depth. But it is an easy book to browse through in a day. The part that I liked best is under the chapter, ‘Read Like Hawking’ because it is fascinating (to some) what books Hawking had read. The more modern ones were, ‘On the Shoulders of Giants’, and ‘God’s Integers’. SH read many science fiction books including those by Isaac Asimov, C Clark, HG Wells and Kurt Vonnegut. His ‘desert island book’ was Middlemarch by George Eliot. There is also a four-page chapter on Hawking’s listening taste. His desert island piece? Mozart’s ‘Requiem’.

Some parts may be slightly controversial. The chapter ‘Be an Iconoclast’ should be read simply as not to be afraid to go against the grain, and not simply as one that encourages a person to belittle peers because they hold different views.
