Biography

Rhodes Scholar, historian, and bestselling author Walter Isaacson began his distinguished career as a journalist -- first for London's Sunday Times, then for The Times-Picayune/States-Item, published in his hometown of New Orleans. He joined Time magazine in 1978, working his way up from political correspondent to managing editor in a little less than two decades. He served for two years as chairman and CEO of the cable TV news network CNN; then, in 2003, he became president of the Aspen Institute, an international nonprofit organization "dedicated to fostering enlightened leadership and open-minded dialogue." In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, he was appointed vice-chairman of the Louisiana Recovery Authority, and he serves on a number of policy-making boards and councils.

In literary circles, Isaacson is best known as the writer of magisterial biographies, scholarly and meticulously researched, yet immensely entertaining. His first book, however, was a collaborative effort. Co-written with award-winning journalist Evan Thomas, and published in 1986, The Wise Men: Six Friends and the World They Made explores the lives of six men who shaped government and public policy in the years following WWII. Examining an era too recent to be called history and too distant to qualify as current affairs, the book received mixed reviews but was universally praised for its ambitious scope and elegant style.

Isaacson's subsequent biographies, all solo efforts (and all critically acclaimed), have chronicled the lives of such disparate figures as Henry Kissinger, Benjamin Franklin, and Albert Einstein. He explains what has drawn him to such widely divergent subjects -- men, who on the surface would appear to have very little in common: "I like writing about people with interesting minds. I try to explore the various aspects of intelligence: common sense, wisdom, creativity, imagination, mental processing power, emotional understanding, and moral values. Which of these traits are the most important? How do they make someone an influential or significant or good person?"

As a scientist, Albert Einstein is undoubtedly the most epic among 20th-century thinkers. Albert Einstein as a man, however, has been a much harder portrait to paint, and what we know of him as a husband, father, and friend is fragmentary at best. With Einstein: His Life and Universe, Walter Isaacson (author of the bestselling biographies Benjamin Franklin and Kissinger) brings Einstein's experience of life, love, and intellectual discovery into brilliant focus. The book is the first biography to tackle Einstein's enormous volume of personal correspondence that heretofore had been sealed from the public, and it's hard to imagine another book that could do such a richly textured and complicated life as Einstein's the same thoughtful justice. Isaacson is a master of the form and this latest opus is at once arresting and wonderfully revelatory. --Anne Bartholomew

这两天在看《奇葩说》,辩题是感兴趣的工作都是996,我该不该886?关于工作多少人真的喜欢996呢?而那些觉得996不对的人又有多少有勇气向公司抗议呢?大多数人选择忍受,或者任凭低效的工作占满自己的个人生活。最大的抗议也就是辞职或者在网络上匿名骂骂发泄了吧。而同样的问...

读艾萨克森的第二本书,可读性不错。回顾完爱因斯坦这般伟大人物的一生,他在我脑海里变得真实,除了对科学的伟大求索外,一生面对家庭关系上的糟糕,面对反犹,纳粹,麦卡锡主义的种种磨难,始终遵循内心真理,无论是对统一场论的追寻,还是对和平主义的呼吁。他在那个混乱的年代依旧保...

爱因斯坦说话较晚,两岁多才会说话。 从小质疑权威,被老师勒令退学。聪明,成绩很好,老师无法授课。 从小学习小提琴,欣赏莫扎特,不喜欢贝多芬。 青少年时有宗教信仰。 大学毕业后找工作处处碰壁,无处接纳。做家教维持开支。 托朋友关系找到专利局的工作,在非学术研究工作...

爱因斯坦以前在我心目中的形象是头发蓬乱的科学天才,有点高高在上不食人间烟火。但是看了这本书才发现,爱因斯坦作为天才的同时,也是一个普通人,一个更让人尊敬的科学伟人。他对学习叛逆,对生活热爱,对爱情炽烈,对科学执着,对和平事业孜孜不倦。他写的情书甚至比现在的...

“Einstein had insisted that his ashes be scattered so that his final resting place would not become the subject of morbid veneration.”
