No 20th-century American scientist is better known to a wider spectrum of people than Richard P. Feynman (1918-1988), physicist, teacher, author, and cultural icon. His autobiographies and biographies have been read and enjoyed by millions of readers around the world, while his wit and eccentricities have made him the subject of TV specials and even a theatrical film.

The Tao of Seneca (volumes 1-3) is an introduction to Stoic philosophy through the words of Seneca. If you study Seneca, you'll be in good company. He was popular with the educated elite of the Greco-Roman Empire, but Thomas Jefferson also had Seneca on his bedside table. Thought leaders in Silicon Valley tout the benefits of Stoicism, and NFL management, coaches, and players alike - from teams such as the Patriots and Seahawks - have embraced it.

Its author, Stephen W. Hawking, is arguably the greatest mind since Einstein. From the vantage point of the wheelchair, where he has spent the last 20 years trapped by Lou Gehrig's disease, Professor Hawking has transformed our view of the universe. A Brief History of Time is Hawking's classic introduction to today's most important scientific ideas.

Unintelligible
It?s a real pity but the entire first most important segment (first hour plus) of these recordings is absolutely unintelligible. Not the best way to start a lecture series in my humble opinion. After the first lecture it gets better however the frustration does not end there because Richard P. Feynman makes many references to charts, diagrams, black board and other training aids in his lectures and continually makes reference to these charts and to the first unintelligible hour of the lecture. For you die hard collectors this may be a worthwhile investment but I?m more interested in learning at this point.

Basics from a Master
The book consists of six lectures, I have the the paperback version also and notices a lot of the introductory material was not included in this audio. And of course the diagrams you don't get the in audio. But neverthless I enjoyed the read and gave the lectures 4 stars. Overall 3 stars. If you don't like science don't buy this book.

Bad audio, good material
The first hour is inexcusably poor and any $39 audio editing program could fix it. What you lose in that hour is the first layer of the foundation of physics that Feynman lays down. What you get after that first hour is pure magic. Hearing the actual voice of Feynman confirms what many of his peers said about him. His vigor, humor, and genius shine throughout.

Excellent - Audio by Richard Feynman
They don't make it obvious, but these are recordings of a select group of Richard Feynman's actual lectures. They tried to fix up the audio form one damaged reel at the beginning, but its a little rough. For the most part the audio is good to great. Very engaging. Sometimes hard to follow without being able to see his diagrams etc..

NO EASY PIECES OF PIE
These lectures should be accompanied with the illustrations that the professor uses for illustrative purposes. Thus it would be good to listen to the lectures while viewing a book that has the diagrams.
The audio quality of the first lecture is very poor. The technology should exist for enhancement. If that isn't possible, then a professional reader should be inserted.
Although the lectures were designed for the non-physics student. As a non-physics major, I found some of the material very difficult to understand.
This book will require considerable effort on the part of the listener.

Hard to follow
The sound quality of the first lecture was horrendous. The others are fine. However, Feynman regularly refers to visual aids (you can even hear the chalk against the chalk board on occasion), and without the benefit of those aids I found his lectures hard to follow. I think others without any physics training will also find them hard to follow.

the unbareable easyness of kowing...
When he speaks, everything falls into place with an astonishing straightforward ease, that has its roots in a simple approach: take what you have and deal with it! His notions on Philosophy and example anecdotes about transforming the problems of physics into our real life (conservation of energy:-), show a childlike mind, that has no problem at all with the fact that there are more questions than answers. He is jumping on the shoulders of the giants (the short history of physics) and is simply happy to have a new perspective, new facts to deal with,
whatever they are. He is inspiring, using everyday language to explain complex facts and relations, giving you also a new way of perception and fun in dealing with it.
I really wish I had a physics teacher like him......

essential Listening
Feynman was blessed with insight and enthusiasm and these lectures are part of a genuinely legendary series given in the early 1960s. The sound quality is poor in lecture one, and you obviously don't get the benefit of the pictures on the blackboard, but once you are past that you get to listen in on an undisputed genius performing before an audience in his natural environment. To anybody excited by the edges of knowledge it is like being offered a recording of Mozart practicing his scales and then jamming with a few mates. What is that worth?

Feynman is amazing but the quality is not
As a physicist myself I have amazing admiration for Richard Feymann and like all physicist I have his collected works on my bookshelf. This audio presentation is a recording of Dick Feymann in the 1960's and the audio quality is terrible. It would have been better to either to have recorded the lectures using an actor or picking lectures where the audio quality is much better.

Imho only really suitable for Feynman devotees. (me amongst others!).
As indicated, the sound quality - although restored/remastered, is poor, especially through the first three chapters or so. In places almost unintelligible. It improves towards the end. In the last chapters it was possible to capture the intelligent, charming, knowledgeable educator’s personality. For this alone, I found the purchase worthwhile.
It should have come with accompanying text, to be able to get any real educational value from it. But I enjoyed listening to Feynman’s voice in the last lectures, where the sound was clearer.
