I learned a lot this time about things I hadn’t known about Einstein, whom I had always thought of as a genius. The book also challenged what I thought I knew and broke down some of my prejudices. Although physics is far from my field, I enjoyed reading about Einstein’s childhood and marriage, the people who influenced him, and various anecdotes. He was a genius, yet his language development was slower than other people’s. He was considered a great pacifist, but at the same time was labeled a

“Einstein’s character, which recognized no authority, caused various problems at school and later worked against him when he sought employment.” (p. 22) There Is No Einstein gave me a chance to learn about Einstein from many angles. It is written relatively simply, so it was easy to understand, and Chapter 3’s explanations of his scientific theories made it an enjoyable and intellectually satisfying read. It discusses aspects of Einstein’s private life I did not know and investigates the truth

Yet Einstein is the only person whose brain was examined and preserved after his death because people were so curious about it. This book unravels the many rumors about him one by one.

I felt the author was trying to reveal his true self, not just his image as a scientist. The author says they were captivated by Einstein’s concern for the vulnerable, his world peace ideals that transcended race and ethnicity, and his pure way of seeing things. Chapter 1 depicts Einstein as a person;

The Einstein in your mind is not the real Einstein. What comes to mind when you hear his name? For me, it’s E=mc². I disliked science as a student because it was hard, but I still remember that. According to the preface, you are about to see the layers attached to this great scientist—genius, womanizer, Jewish, lazy dog, fool, and so on—peeled away. The author tried to reveal more of the real Einstein and says that, beyond the great scientist, they were captivated by his concern for the

“Was Einstein a genius, or an illusion we created?” We think of Einstein as the very definition of a genius scientist. But was the Einstein we know real?

This reveals how he differed from the familiar image and explains how his original

Einstein Is Not Who You Think is a book that explores the real Einstein by connecting him with his theories. The Einstein we have heard about and known up to now may have been painted over. I read the book wondering whether, despite Einstein’s fame and recognition, we might not actually know him very well. The author explains each rumor about Einstein the man, considering him on his own terms. Through this book I learned what lay behind stories about Einstein as an eccentric scientist, a
