A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Now a New York Times Bestseller!

Here is a book to lead you through the fascinating intersections of life and physics with humor and intelligence.

Find out how the laws of physics define every aspect of our lives and society, from human nature and relationships to geopolitical issues like financial markets, globalization and immigration. The Quantum Rules is a different kind of physics book, as easy to read as a novel and directly relevant for everyday life issues that affect us all. It is not meant to dazzle you with unproven speculations that have no bearing on your life. Rather, The Quantum Rules will familiarize you with the important and established laws at the heart of physics, in a way never done before by showing how the defining patterns of our lives, our behavior and our society already follow similar rules.

Never took an interest in science before? No problem! you will still understand everything and find plenty to relate to. A scientist or a science junkie? You will find a different perspective on things you may already know. Best of all, you will discover how to have meaningful conversations about physics in a way that won’t make eyes glaze over, and in which all can gladly participate.

The Quantum Rules also does something you would never expect from a book on physics it makes you laugh, often. Its new and original take on established natural laws injects plenty of dry humor into this serious subject, by using life to explain physics and in turn using physics to understand life.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Ever wonder why you always seem to seek the easiest and shortest way to accomplish something? And why is it so satisfying to drive along a road hitting every green light as if by magic? How can you reduce "destructive interference" in your relationships? Why was the global financial crisis caused by "potential gradients," and how can you better manage your finances?The Quantum Guide to Life applies the laws of physics to explain everything from relationships and human nature to the effects of globalization. It achieves the impossible task of making quantum physics deeply relevant to your life-even if you have no interest in science. With a lively and engaging tone, theoretical physicist Kunal K. Das ponders the underlying truths and patterns in our shared and common life experiences, using insights derived from the fundamental laws of physics. Fans of The Tipping Point and Freakonomics will find much to contemplate here.In The Quantum Guide to Life readers will find a fresh new perspective on the human experience, and in the process effortlessly absorb some of the most important laws of physics without facing any math or dense logic. What you learn will surprise, entertain, and perhaps even shock you with its simple wisdom-once you've learned about the "laziness factor," your life will never be the same again!
