Does it matter what others think?

This book can be called a kind of continuation of the remarkable autobiography "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!", which has gone through a huge number of reprints around the world. The famous American physicist discusses the components that shaped his attitude toward work and life, his extraordinary work ethic, and his spirit of inquiry. A significant portion of the book is devoted to investigating the causes of the tragic loss of the space shuttle "Challenger", which once shocked the whole world.
