About this listen

 'Exceptionally interesting' - Alain de Botton

'Fascinating ... You'll never again view your own world in quite the same way. A delight to read' - Ian Stewart

'A book that will transform how you understand human behaviour' - Thomas Erikson

Can physics change your life? It already has.

In The Art of Physics, Zahaan Bharmal explains eight ideas from physics that have transformed his view of everyday life and will do the same for you.

Far from being abstract, he argues, physics can help us answer very human questions, questions like: Why are some relationships unstable, while others last a lifetime? Why does inequality persist? And why do we all make so many irrational decisions?

Drawing on quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, chaos and complexity theory, materials science and more, The Art of Physics reveals the hidden, surprising, and sometimes beautiful ways in which physics can help us to make sense of an unpredictable world. Ultimately, it shows how by embracing the paradoxes and uncertainty at the core of physics, we can unlock a deeper understanding of ourselves and our universe.

A deeply personal and thoroughly entertaining tour of life, the universe, and everything.©2024 Zahaan Bharmal (P)2024 Bonnier Books UK Philosophy Physics Science Society Thought-Provoking

Reasonably interesting

Besides a few interesting anecdotes this book is a little flat and doesn't really fulfill its promise. The voice reading is very good.
