I also saw how Einstein was (for much of his life) a true scientist willing to abandon his own theories quickly when they didn't stand up to real world testing and how easily he could get up from failure and try again, each time 100% confident something would work. I also liked learning that a lot of his discoveries came about through active discussions and collaboration with other physicists, all of whom helped each other out. I was also inspired by the sheer quantity of hard work that Einstein put in to come up with his theories and papers.
I was fascinated by the amount of handwritten letters that went back and forth across continents and between friends, family, and work colleagues people got so much done back then even without email! And people were obviously more patient. I enjoyed the book a lot and learned a lot of interesting details about the time period Einstein lived in and the hard work behind the science he discovered. I really enjoyed the biography of Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson, and so I decided to check out his book on Einstein: His Life and Universe.
