The stories about the personal and professional lives of these 50 great minds are really inspiring. Author Abhishek's writing shows he has extensively read devoted hours of reading and understanding these inspiring people. Author Abhishek Kumar has tried to select pieces of useful information about them and their experiences and compiled all that together in this book form, to make it an interesting read and also curated a useful resource for all his readers. In this book, along with reading about these personalities, I could also read more on varied subjects like psychology and mathematics, languages like Sanskrit, one can also find meaningful discussion about the topics like beauty, art, memory, human relationships, innocence etc.
Some of my favourite chapters in this book are-Beginning of the end of Tabula Rasa, Unmerged richness merged in one, Two novel prizes, Two countries and one woman, Unleashing mysteries of childhood. I have read about John Locke, Hobbes and Rousseau in jurisprudence too but I could read more about their personal life in this book. Some of the personalities in the book were new to me as I’ve never heard about them before and glad could learn about them.
Author has kept the stories short while delivering the important messages about Building, Doing and Thinking, which makes it a gripping read. I would highly recommend this book to everyone.
