HOW TO THINK LIKE STEPHEN HAWKING (ENGLISH)

Stephen Hawking has been the face of physics for decades, his groundbreaking work changing the way we view our place in the universe. Yet he is almost as famous for his battle against disability and is a standard-bearer for non-able-bodied people everywhere. Hawking’s story is one of a constant struggle of mind over body; as he reached great heights with his work, the greater his physical struggle to lead a normal life became. Diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis at the age of twenty-one, he was given just two years to live. He decided to continue enjoy his life and work and is now thought to be the longest-surviving ALS sufferer in history. Despite this, his work in cosmology, most notably on black holes, saw him become world famous as a physicist and an author and named the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University, a teaching post once geld by Sir Isaac Newton. This inspirational book invites you to explore Hawking’s unique approach to tackling the big scientific questions of his age and traces the disparate ideas and influences that helped shape his personality and outlook, decoding them to reveal how you can apply his methods and practices to all areas of your life. You too can learn to think like the man who claims he can think in eleven dimensions.
