Einstein's Dreams meets Tuesdays with Morrie in Leonard Mlodinow's touching memoir about the guidance granted him by his mentor, the brilliant physicist Richard Feynman: "An accessible portrait of a brilliant man" (Stephen Hawking).

For some, it was that special connection with a grandparent or a football coach, a boss, or a cleric. For Leonard Mlodinow, as a young physicist struggling to find his place in the world, the relationship that would most profoundly influence his life was with his mentor, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman. Drawing on transcripts from his many meetings with Feynman during their time together at Cal Tech, Mlodinow shares Feynman's provocative answers to such questions as "What is the nature of creativity?" and "How does a scientist think?" At once a moving portrait of a friendship and an affecting account of Feynman's final, creative years, Feynman's Rainbow celebrates the inspiring legacy of one of the greatest thinkers of our time.

"A very unusual memoir of a very unusual author's revealing encounters with a very human legend." -- The Dallas Morning News

"Mlodinow thinks in equations but explains in anecdote, simile, and occasional bursts of neon... The results are mind-bending." -- Fortune

"This is a sweetly entertaining book about the weird, but engaging, world of physics... Young scientists will find solace and perhaps inspiration here." -- American Scientist
