The definitive, internationally bestselling biography of Albert Einstein from the author of The Innovators, Steve Jobs and Benjamin Franklin.

**Now the basis of Genius, the ten-part National Geographic series on the life of Albert Einstein, starring the Oscar, Emmy, and Tony Award-winning actor Geoffrey Rush**

How did Einstein’s mind work? What made him a genius? Isaacson’s biography shows how Einstein’s scientific imagination sprang from the rebellious nature of his personality. His fascinating story is a testament to the connection between creativity and freedom.

Isaacson explores how an imaginative, impertinent patent clerk – a struggling father in a difficult marriage who couldn't get a teaching job or a doctorate – became the locksmith of the mysteries of the atom, and the universe. His success came from questioning conventional wisdom and marvelling at mysteries that struck others as mundane. This led him to embrace a morality and politics based on respect for free minds, free spirits and free individuals.

Einstein, the classic No.1 New York Times bestseller, is a brilliantly acclaimed account of the most influential scientist of the twentieth century,

A step into the history of science.

Reviewed in India on 8 March 2019

Verified Purchase

A good read if you want to know the life of one of the most prolific men in science. Einstein was a genius but more than that it was his non conformity to the status quo and inquisitive nature which allowed him to transcend beyond the scientific limits of his time. This book is a great read to know the history of theoretical physics in Europe during the late 1800s to 1940s, a period of time when so much of modern physics was discovered and Einstein had a hand in almost everything! Contrary to popular belief that he flunked his school or college, Einstein had one of the best educations one could have during that time. He truly was a genius, the ability to extrapolate concepts which have never before been formalized requires grit and great resolve of mind. Einstein had some of the most amazing friends who have helped him time and again to reach such a celebrity level although it's evident from the book that he struggled a lot during his younger days.

This biography is well written albeit bereft of any mathematics or physics to explain complex concepts of general relativity, instead it's more of a historical account of the early days of theoretical physics and a deep look into the human life Einstein had.

Edit: the cover absolutely sucks. Its got Geoffrey rush's picture as Einstein.

Terrific. Mesmerizing. Beautiful. Thought provoking. Entertaining.
Got all the attributes for an ideal read. You will fell in love with physics after a few pages in to it.
More than anything else, you will fell in love Eintien for all his imagination, rebels, non-conformist nature, strong principles and the impact he left on physics. Quite a read!! loved it. Thanks Issacson. you nailed the biography.

Its a great feeling reading this book. Knowing the details of one of the best scientist ever lived on the planet made me feel good . throughout the book I was wondering on how Isaacson has pulled this off with so much ease by providing so many details and scrutinizing Einstein in all the angles. Take a bow Isaacson for your research on the reaserch freek Einstein and giving the world the best biography of the miracle man.

This kind of book comes rarely once. I remember reading somewhere that biographies make you new friends. And this is the book which will make you friends with Einstein. It feels personal and upclose to him. Wasn't into biographies but from now on have to read lot of biographies.. Go for it.

David Delorme

Well documented biography

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 December 2019

Verified Purchase

Other books by this author especially the Job's biography are perhaps more readable. It can be sometimes lengthy as Isaacson describes in great details events taking place in Einstein's life, documented it appears, to all the letters everyone at that time seemed to write to each other and keep forever.
However this does give one a good idea how winning a Nobel prize can typically happen much later after the fact and how a noble prize winner can be immediately projected into fame at that time, especially in this case by the American population. We see this still today where an Nobel winner, an expert in a relatively small field, is asked to pronounce on so many world issues and to patronize so many causes. We still see this today.
Let me add I bought a used, hardcover edition from Betterworldbooks via Amazon. It did arrived later than expected, in excellent condition. As I had already been refunded, they magnanimously agreed to make me a present of it! So I am more than happy to recommend them.

A well-sourced and authoritative biography of Einstein

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 July 2013

Verified Purchase

This proved to be an interesting and very complete biography of Einstein, with sources listed for all key facts. Perhaps it was a trifle too long in parts, resulting in me skimming some sections, but it provides a remarkable insight into the life and the times of this great physicist. Whilst I had prior knowledge of Einstein's scientific work, I had not appreciated other aspects of his life, including his troubled relationships with his first wife and his children from that marriage, nor had I understood the extent of the anti-semitism to which he had been subjected, nor his celebrity status, whereby the press hung on to his every word. As well as detailing Einstein's life, Walter Isaacson also does a sound job of explaining, in simplified terms, the background to much of Einstein's scientific endeavours, including quantum physics, relativity, and his unsuccessful search for a unified field theory to unite gravitation with electromagnetism. I learned a lot about Einstein from this book and Isaacson brought him alive in terms of his personality.

Best biography of Einstein I've read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 August 2015

Verified Purchase

Easy to read but well-researched life of the great scientist, which made me whistle in astonishment at just how marvellous Einstein's intuition was for the way the physical world works. Few human beings have been blessed with such incredible creativity, and this book brings that out in some detail and in ways that other biographies of Einstein I've read haven't. The great man's personal life was sometimes in rather a mess, but he comes across as a kindly - if detached - and sympathetic man. It's rather sad that the development of quantum uncertainty left him behind.

An Excellent Biography

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 February 2014

Verified Purchase

I thoroughly enjoyed Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs which encouraged me to read his biography of Einstein. Again, I found it a very enjoyable read. As one might expect, there is a lot about particle physics and despite Isaacson generally avoiding mathematical explanations, I must confess I didn't follow all of it, but even the during parts I didn't fully understand, my interest didn't waver because it gave one a sense of the enormous intellectual challenges that Einstein was grappling with. There is also plenty about his personal life that was also interesting.

He said what he thought

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 October 2018

Verified Purchase

I had no idea of what the theory of relativity was or Einstein's life. His life story is fascinating and the simplicity of his ideas that proved in the face of perceived wisdom to be correct. How fate took him in directions that allowed him to engage his brain that only a free thinking person could.
I would love to have met him! I am neither mathematical or scientific but somehow it makes sense now.
