His \u003cb\u003echaracter\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003ecreativity\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eimagination\u003c\/b\u003e were \u003cb\u003erelated\u003c\/b\u003e, and they drove both his \u003cb\u003elife\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003ehis science\u003c\/b\u003e. In this marvellously clear and accessible narrative, \u003cb\u003eWalter Isaacson\u003c\/b\u003e explains how his mind worked and the \u003cb\u003emysteries of the universe\u003c\/b\u003e that he discovered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEinstein's success came from \u003cb\u003equestioning conventional wisdom\u003c\/b\u003e and marvelling at mysteries that struck others as mundane. This led him to \u003cb\u003eembrace a worldview\u003c\/b\u003e based on respect for \u003cb\u003efree spirits\u003c\/b\u003e and free individuals. All of which helped make Einstein into a rebel but with a \u003cb\u003ereverence for the harmony of nature\u003c\/b\u003e, one with just the right blend of \u003cb\u003eimagination\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003ewisdom\u003c\/b\u003e to transform our \u003cb\u003eunderstanding of the universe\u003c\/b\u003e.
