Thanks, Arindam. I’m glad you like this review. I think you would enjoy the book a lot, especially with your engineering background. You are one of those lucky people who are equally talented in science and the arts.

Well, you’ve sold me! This is an outstanding piece of writing, Becky. You answered every question I had about the book. Thank you. I’m going to download it just as soon as I get through a few others already in the queue . I’ll keep you posted when I read it.

Great Review Becky! I hope to read this book someday. As a person who loves to write, I also loved being reminded about the need to dig deep and be persistent, putting in hours of hard work. Thanks a lot for the remainder.

Monica, I have a hard time not glazing over when reading about science, but this is done in such a way, I think you’ll enjoy it. Let me know what you think if you read it.

Becky, you’ve piqued my curiosity. I’m all about creativity but not into reading about science. However you–and Deborah’s comment–make this sound so fascinating. Will have to check it out!

Great review, Becky. I should read this book. Many of its concepts you so aptly describe resonate with me. Especially the one about perseverance. One of my favorite quotes of all times is about the same:
“Success seems to be largely a matter
of hanging on after others have let go.”
