Einstein: Rejection, Persistence, Success

By Robert Piccioni

This book tells the surprising story of Albert Einstein, what he discovered, and how those discoveries enrich our lives everyday.

Einstein, the most famous scientist in history, was chosen by Time Magazine as “The Person of the Century.” Indeed, his name has become synonymous with the word “genius.” It seems only reasonable to assume that his life must have been a bed of roses—an endless sequence of accomplishments and accolades. Not so. Hardly anyone has failed more often or faced more rejection than did Albert Einstein. His remarkable story reveals how he persisted, how he never gave up on himself or his dreams, and how that tenacity ultimately led to unprecedented success that has enriched the lives of all mankind.

The Everyone's Guide Series explores modern astronomy, physics, and cosmology, making the frontiers of science accessible to all. With short books focused on specific topics, readers can easily mix and match, satisfying their individual interests. Each self-contained book tells its own story. The Series may be read in any order or combination.

In a way that no printed book could, the Series builds upon, updates, and expands on my previous award-winning, top-rated, popular science books. Since no one book can contain everything, references to supplementary material are provided.
