À propos de cet audio
The essential universe, from our most celebrated and beloved astrophysicist.
What is the nature of space and time? How do we fit within the universe? How does the universe fit within us? There’s no better guide through these mind-expanding questions than acclaimed astrophysicist and bestselling author Neil deGrasse Tyson.
But today, few of us have time to contemplate the cosmos. So Tyson brings the universe down to Earth succinctly and clearly, with sparkling wit, in digestible chapters consumable anytime and anywhere in your busy day.
While waiting for your morning coffee to brew, or while waiting for the bus, the train, or the plane to arrive, Astrophysics for People in a Hurry will reveal just what you need to be fluent and ready for the next cosmic headlines: from the Big Bang to black holes, from quarks to quantum mechanics, and from the search for planets to the search for life in the universe.

Histoire
In a time when our political and cultural views feel more polarized than ever, Tyson provides a much-needed antidote to so much of what divides us, while making a passionate case for the twin chariots of enlightenment—a cosmic perspective and the rationality of science. After thinking deeply about how science sees the world and about Earth as a planet, the human brain has the capacity to reset and recalibrates life’s priorities, shaping the actions we might take in response. No outlook on culture, society, or civilization remains untouched.

If you are stuck in someone's control or don't want to be, you must know this favorite mind game of great manipulators. It is so powerful that most people won't be able to detect it even for many years of being enslaved. Why? Gaslighting is a very common method of manipulation that when intentionally or even unintentionally used, you'll be so influenced emotionally that you cannot think for yourself or for your own good. Sound nasty? It is. But you'll never know when you're participating as the inflictor or the prey until you explore this book.

The universe is awe-inspiring
The book was fascinating, often funny, and perfectly narrated, but the last chapter was especially powerful. Neil puts into words how thinking about the cosmos has always made me feel: small and insignificant in the best way, putting into perspective petty human squabbles, but also showing how interconnected we are with all of creation. It's a moving spiritual experience that I imagine is similar to how religious folks feel when contemplating God. I never knew other people felt this way about the cosmos, so it was shocking to hear Neil voicing my private thoughts and feelings better than I ever could.
Another bonus is that I'm very fascinated with the idea of intelligent alien life and what their existence could tell us about ourselves, which Neil also touches on that in the second-to-last chapter.

Beautifully written. It inspired me to dive deeper into astrophysics. But there were so many ideas mentioned that it was impossible for me to retain what I've heard.
If you wish to be inspired, by all means get this audio version. But if you want to actually know astrophysics, study a printed version.

Amazing but tricky as audio.
A great way to spend time and absorb some new knowledge. Which is a bit where this format presents a problem - there’s so much to digest in each sentence, a high number of rewinds and pauses are necessary to keep up.
Though this isn’t a criticism of the delivery - there is just so much to absorb.
Highly recommend with this one listening note.

Understandable (and enthusiastic)
I do not have a background in science, but I do have an interest in finding out more. For that reason this book is a gem. Tyson's clear and engaging enthusiasm for the subject shines through on every page. He possesses a talent for making complex scientific concepts engaging and approachable - so I understand cosmic concepts (for at least the time I am listening to the book!)
