I read Alex and Me by Irene Pepperberg and I’m chasing that high. Incredible story and insight into avian cognition and her life. She went against the grain, had her struggles but her passion and dedication to the new field (at the time) is so admirable.
I am looking for a book like that, I want an unconventional thinker or maybe even someone who was seen as an outcast.
I’m not a huge Feynman fan and this is the one that gets suggested the most. Scientists I like are Issac Newton, Nicola Tesla, Lise Meitner, Gottfried Leibniz. Books don’t have to be about these people, only listed to show the personalities I’d prefer.
