The Good Read for this episode is Einstein: His Life and Universe

by Walter Isaacson

How did his mind work? What made him a genius? Isaacson’s biography shows how his scientific imagination sprang from the rebellious nature of his personality. His fascinating story is a testament to the connection between creativity and freedom.

Based on newly released personal letters of Einstein, this book 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 mind reader of the creator of the cosmos, the locksmith of the mysteries of the atom, and the universe. His success came from questioning conventional wisdom and marveling at mysteries that struck others as mundane. This led him to embrace a morality and politics based on respect for free minds, free spirits, and free individuals.

These traits are just as vital for this new century of globalization, in which our success will depend on our creativity, as they were at the beginning of the last century when Einstein helped usher in the modern age.

What's Popping in Vell's World consists of former NBA G-Leaguer Chance Comanche Admits Planning Homicide, Florida's Governor DeSantis' Influence Decision To Revise AP African American Studies, Harvard’s first Black president has been under pressure to resign, and more.
