Alright, this book? Totally worth it—especially if you’re into physics. Cool. The writer doesn’t overdo it—just solid points and good flow. It’s one of those reads you can chill with. The vibe is relaxed but still makes you think. Nice little break from heavier stuff.

I absolutely loved this book! Insightful. This is the kind of book that stays with you long after finishing. I couldn’t stop reading once I started. It made me reflect on so many aspects of my life. The writing style is warm and engaging. I’ve already recommended it to my entire friend group.

Seriously, this book made my day. Especially since it focused on physics. Refreshing. It somehow made me laugh and think at the same time. The tone was super inviting without dumbing things down. Definitely recommending this to a few people already.
