In today's world, directions in life miss the word different in most cases. Our directions now are too similar. Not because we are so similar, but because we can't choose, or we don't have enough courage to choose. Young people chose to do what millions of people do, then wonder why they are not better than them. They end up living a very boring life in front of an office. After that happens, either they regret their earlier choices or blame others. In either case, it's too late to regret it. Why we don't have enough courage to choose the direction that gives our lives its meaningfulness? Your direction is your attitude in life that you make most of your efforts into it, something you believe in and have a good sense of. It can be a dream you are living or a way you love to live. Everyone has his direction in life, and you have one too. It doesn't have to be the most perfect or well-known attitude in the world; it just has to be yours. It's about your own direction, which gives you the power to continue when you have no energy and gives you the feeling of having a unique life, not just a new copy. The biggest problem here is that young people always wait for the chance. I was always wondering why most people can't catch great chances. I related this to some external factors. The fact is that I was trying to get one more chance, but I wasn't making any effort to see the ones that were already there, which is why I haven't been able to capture any great opportunities until now. Blaming life won't make the world any better place. You are the only one who can do that. Don't wait for a magical thing to happen to have one more chance. Maybe you're missing one of those right now. This is what distinguishes someone who merely wishes to improve the world from someone who actually does so. This may be your last chance to help yourself and change your life, so don't miss it again. In this book You will learn more about why everyone should seek his own direction. Some directions you may love to try in your way. You will know why you should start your own business and some helpful tips. Finally, you will know the psychological reasons behind choosing to be like everyone, and how to avoid them as much as possible.

Infinite in All Directions is a popularized science at its best. In Dyson's view, science and religion are two windows through which we can look out at the world around us. The book is a revised version of a series of the Gifford Lectures under the title "In Praise of Diversity" given at Aberdeen, Scotland. They allowed Dyson the license to express everything in the universe, which he divided into two parts in polished prose: focusing on the diversity of the natural world as the first, and the diversity of human reactions as the second half. Chapter 1 is a brief explanation of Dyson's attitudes toward religion and science. Chapter 2 is a oneā€“hour tour of the universe that emphasizes the diversity of viewpoints from which the universe can be encountered as well as the diversity of objects which it contains. Chapter 3 is concerned with the history of science and describes two contrasting styles in science: one welcoming diversity and the other deploring it. He uses the cities of Manchester and Athens as symbols of these two ways of approaching science. Chapter 4, concerned with the origin of life, describes the ideas of six illustrious scientists who have struggled to understand the nature of life from various points of view. Chapter 5 continues the discussion of the nature and evolution of life. The question of why life characteristically tends toward extremes of diversity remains central in all attempts to understand life's place in the universe. Chapter 6 is an exercise in eschatology, trying to define possible futures for life and for the universe, from here to infinity. In this chapter, Dyson crosses the border between science and science fiction and he frames his speculations in a slightly theological context.

Relativity: The Theory and its Philosophy provides a completely self-contained treatment of the philosophical foundations of the theory of relativity. It also surveys the most essential mathematical techniques and concepts that are indispensable to an understanding of the foundations of both the special and general theories of relativity. In short, the book includes a crash course in applied mathematics, ranging from elementary trigonometry to the classical tensor calculus. Comprised of 11 chapters, this book begins with an introduction to fundamental mathematical concepts such as sets, relations, and functions; N-tuples, vectors, and matrices; and vector algebra and calculus. The discussion then turns to the concept of relativity and elementary foundations of Newtonian mechanics, as well as the principle of special relativity and its interpretation by means of empiricism and rationalism. Subsequent chapters focus on the status of the doctrine of conventionalism in the theory of special relativity; the commensurability of classical and relativistic mechanics; mathematical foundations of special relativistic physics; and the classical or Newtonian theory of gravitation. The principle of general covariance and its relation to the principle of general relativity are also examined. The final chapter addresses the fundamental question as to the actual information concerning the structure of spacetime that is conveyed to us through the theory of general relativity. This monograph will be of interest to students, teachers, practitioners, and researchers in physics, mathematics, and philosophy.
