How ideas from science can transform your life

Zahaan Bharmal,

About this book

'Exceptionally interesting' Alain de Botton ' A book that will transform how you understand human behaviour' Thomas Erikson 'Insightful and entertaining' Cal Newport 'Fascinating... You'll never again view your own world in quite the same way' Ian Stewart Can physics change your life? It already has. In The Art of Physics, Zahaan Bharmal explains eight ideas from physics that have transformed his view of everyday life and will do the same for you.Far from being abstract, he argues, physics can help us answer very human questions, questions like: Why are some relationships unstable, while others last a lifetime? Why does inequality persist? And why do we all make so many irrational decisions?Drawing on quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, chaos and complexity theory, materials science and more, The Art of Physics reveals the hidden, surprising, and sometimes beautiful ways in which physics can help us to make sense of an unpredictable world. Ultimately, it shows how by embracing the paradoxes and uncertainty at the core of physics, we can unlock a deeper understanding of ourselves and our universe. A deeply personal and thoroughly entertaining tour of life, the universe, and everything.
