About this listen

Learn how quantum physics affects your daily life and learn practical ways to put that knowledge to good use! Ever feel guilty that 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? The Quantum Rules 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 all listeners - even those with no interest in science. With a lively and engaging tone, author Kunal Das ponders the underlying truths and patterns in our shared and common life experiences, using insights derived from the fundamental laws of physics. In The Quantum Rules, listeners 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 logic - once you've learned about the laziness clause, your life will never be the same again!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Entertaining and insightful. This is not a self-help book. I suspect that the negative reviews come from married types with kids.


Pleasantly surprised.

I enjoyed this audio book, finding it very insightful. I do understand the more negative reviews that argue the author is giving us analogies , not explanations. I found these analogies really useful however. I totally related to the chapter on 'Schrodinger's cat' in its application to someone sitting in a bar, alone. It really does feel that you are a 'wave' , your consciousness floating about. You feel neither dead no
r alive. Then someone comes and talks to you and the 'wave' instantly 'collapses' and you become a person. Observation from others makes you 'real', hence the drive for social success. I haven't come across a better expression of my own experience than this.

Insightful

started off well with some interesting concepts, but became long winded and less relevant. has tried to extend the parallels between quantum physics and life too far.

More books like this which explore the dynamics of cross disciplinary research are needed. I feel the complex concepts were explained and explored in novel and accessible ways. Saying the links between quantum physics and human life are being stretched too far is not a fair criticism especially when the links being established are logically valid. A great book.

An engaging cross disciplinary piece of work.

I don't usually leave reviews, but this book annoyed me. I can put up with boring narration with non-fiction books, but this was a whole new level of tedium.

In addition, the book strays needlessly away from quantum physics, I got to the point where the author is discussing the effects of McDonalds on culture before I decided to add the book to my archive.

If you enjoy science books, there are plenty of much better books out there, don't bother with this.

Monotonous narration and irrelevant tangents
