What made him genius? Walter Isaacson's biography shows how Einsteins 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 based on respect for free minds, free spirits and free individuals. ER -
