“Surely You're Joking is one of my all time favorite books, for sure.”↗
Naval Ravikant
“I loved him because Feynman was one of the first characters that I encountered that did science and serious work and was accomplished in so-called real life. He was a character, he was a happy person. He was deeply philosophical, he didn’t take himself nor life too seriously. He appreciated the mysteries of life, he appreciated living life and he had a lot of fun along the way. To me, he was like a full-stack intellectual hacker of life. And was just very inspirational to me as a kid, growing up.”↗

“People should read Feynman’s books”↗
Peter Attia
“That’s sort of pushed Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me) into the now number three spot, just ahead probably of Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman! It’s weird, isn’t it? It says something about us, the books we like to give people, doesn’t it?”↗
Yann Lecun
“"That's one thing we agree on. I suggest a gentle ramp up: - Surely you are joking Mr Feynman - QED - The Feynman Lectures on Physics - Quantum Mechanics and Path Integrals (Feynman & Hibbs)"”↗
