What Do You Care What Other People Think?

I have completed reading Richard P. Feynman's second book "What Do You Care What Other People Think", a sequel to his famous first book "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!". Richard Feynman is one of the greatest physicists of the twentieth century and had won Nobel prize in 1965 for his contribution to Physics. This book narrates about his early life, his relationship with first wife Arlene, his journey with Physics as Scientist etc, and nearly half of the book deals with his involvement on the Rogers Commission investigating the space shuttle Challenger's explosion in 1986. His experiences with the Commission and related studies, investigation and demonstrations are very interesting to read.

Feynman was in many aspects a very inspiring character and ever since I read his books, he's definitely one of my heroes.
