Great presentation of complex topics in a simple and approachable way。 Leaves you with enough wonder while giving you the tools to do so。 Nice to approach astrophysics from a more entertaining mindset coming from my background in physics。 Listened to the audiobook version and Tyson is a delight as always。

Christian Dooley

Great book! Includes an overview of the field of astrophysics that includes history, the basics, and main topics, as well as well placed humor and tidbits of fun facts here and there。 Pick it up if you want your mind blown。

AudiobookOverall it was interesting when I wasn’t multitasking while listening。 I was reminded of the many gaps in my knowledge here since I haven’t had a science class in over a decade。 The last chapter where he gets more philosophical and political was easily the most accessible for me personally though the section about spheres was oddly enjoyable? The cosmic perspective and being open to the humility it brings is something I’ve been trying to access so for that reason alone it was worth the AudiobookOverall it was interesting when I wasn’t multitasking while listening。 I was reminded of the many gaps in my knowledge here since I haven’t had a science class in over a decade。 The last chapter where he gets more philosophical and political was easily the most accessible for me personally though the section about spheres was oddly enjoyable?

I'm hungry for more Neil deGrasse Tyson。 This book is pretty basic (as the title suggests) even for someone as ignorant as me。 Chapters about galaxies shapes and satellites are the best。 I'm hungry for more Neil deGrasse Tyson。 This book is pretty basic (as the title suggests) even for someone as ignorant as me。 Chapters about galaxies shapes and satellites are the best。 。。。more

I really enjoyed this book, I started in February and put it down after 40 or so pages but I picked it back up and was not disappointed。 As someone who prefers fiction this nonfiction book was easy to follow along and it made me think a lot of this planet that we live on。

Matt

My second read of this book was incredible。 I must not have been in the right frame of mind the first time。The author is incredible at taking complex thoughts and putting them in relatable terms。 And I agree with his last chapter that a greater understanding of the cosmos connects us all, rather than belittles an individual。Give it a try!

Una rápida y amigable introducción al lector a la astrofísica。 Que te deja con ganas de leer más respecto al tema。

I read this one in a hurry and I know a lot more about the universe now。 Great book!

“We do not simply live in this universe。 The universe lives within us。” Light, enjoyable, some parts easier to absorb than others。 I enjoyed mostly for the philosophical side of NdGT's writing and the physics of spirituality。 “We do not simply live in this universe。 The universe lives within us。” Light, enjoyable, some parts easier to absorb than others。 I enjoyed mostly for the philosophical side of NdGT's writing and the physics of spirituality。 。。。more

I wasn't sure if I would finish Astrophysics for People in a Hurry before I started reading it。 While I enjoy a trip to the planetarium here and there, I wasn't sure the book would capture my interest。 Luckily, I was wrong。I think that the combination of storytelling and distillation of complex scientific concepts is well done。 You learn about how the universe began, and the amazing scientists and technologies that enabled these conclusions。 Of course, there's a lot we still don't know (Dark mat I wasn't sure if I would finish Astrophysics for People in a Hurry before I started reading it。 While I enjoy a trip to the planetarium here and there, I wasn't sure the book would capture my interest。 Luckily, I was wrong。I think that the combination of storytelling and distillation of complex scientific concepts is well done。 You learn about how the universe began, and the amazing scientists and technologies that enabled these conclusions。 Of course, there's a lot we still don't know (Dark matter very well could be Nibbler from Futurama's poop - since, nobody yet has figured out what it exactly is)。 I feel like I'd have to study this book like a textbook to really absorb everything it has to say。 Instead having read through it once, I walk away feeling like I have at least some idea about what astrophysics is and with a respect for our planet's tiny role in the universe。Overall, if you're interested in science at all I think you would enjoy this book。 。。。more

I don't think I'm smart enough for this book, or maybe my expectations were a bit out of whack。 I was expecting some sort of accessible introduction to astrophysics, but this is really a crash course that doesn't really hold back punches (at least to my uninformed brain)。 Maybe I need to revisit this later with a better mindset I don't think I'm smart enough for this book, or maybe my expectations were a bit out of whack。 I was expecting some sort of accessible introduction to astrophysics, but this is really a crash course that doesn't really hold back punches (at least to my uninformed brain)。 Maybe I need to revisit this later with a better mindset 。。。more

This is probably what "A Brief History of Time" should have been。 That book was a bit heavy on the math/theory for most casual readers, but this keeps things a bit lighter。 The only reason I have this at only 3 stars is that I just don't think Tyson is a great author。 Some of the humor sounds forced, and I never felt compelled to pick it up; I was reading it just to get through it。 That's not because I don't love the subject matter (I do) but I've just read other books that have a more compellin This is probably what "A Brief History of Time" should have been。 That book was a bit heavy on the math/theory for most casual readers, but this keeps things a bit lighter。 The only reason I have this at only 3 stars is that I just don't think Tyson is a great author。 Some of the humor sounds forced, and I never felt compelled to pick it up; I was reading it just to get through it。 That's not because I don't love the subject matter (I do) but I've just read other books that have a more compelling narrative。 。。。more

3。5 - Nice book, interesting and makes me intrigued about space and astrophysics even tho my knowledge is really limited。 I wish I would have been an astronaut。 I don’t think I was that much in a hurry。 👨‍🚀

Abby Martin

Honestly, I loved the history and the facts。 The parts that were not about Neil were amazing。 But anytime he wrote a personal anecdote or preached at me, I was reminded of what a prick he is。 Just incredibly condescending about his philosophy。 Good read, I enjoyed most of it, but I could do without Neil’s self-elevating storytelling。

Yash Gadodia

A short book。 Perhaps too short because i tend to listen to books at 2X speeds and become lost because the book had SO MANY FACTS IN SO FEW PAGES。It's kind of overwhelming really。 I liked the beginning and the end cause those were the parts that were actually relatable and understandable, without much science jargon。 Ultimately, astrophysics is super fascinating but I'm in a little bit of a hurry to study it properly。 I have my own university courses to pass first。 "We are stardust brought to li A short book。 Perhaps too short because i tend to listen to books at 2X speeds and become lost because the book had SO MANY FACTS IN SO FEW PAGES。It's kind of overwhelming really。 I liked the beginning and the end cause those were the parts that were actually relatable and understandable, without much science jargon。 Ultimately, astrophysics is super fascinating but I'm in a little bit of a hurry to study it properly。 I have my own university courses to pass first。 "We are stardust brought to life, then empowered by the universe to figure itself out - and we have only just begun。"I wonder if Neil deGrasse Tyson could write "Astrophysics with people who are damn free with nothing to do" instead。 。。。more

I forgot about how much I like science books。 This was a sweet intro into some deep astro principles。 It made me miss my college classes, calculating shit that blew my mind about its real world application。 I liked the chapter on black matter and energy, I’m going to look more into those it’s insane。 Also the reflections chapter had me laughing out loud。 Sometimes it’s hard for me to read more than a chapter of a book because I’m tired。 These chapters literally made me tired from how mind boggli I forgot about how much I like science books。 This was a sweet intro into some deep astro principles。 It made me miss my college classes, calculating shit that blew my mind about its real world application。 I liked the chapter on black matter and energy, I’m going to look more into those it’s insane。 Also the reflections chapter had me laughing out loud。 Sometimes it’s hard for me to read more than a chapter of a book because I’m tired。 These chapters literally made me tired from how mind boggling everything is。 It’s just an entirely different language and lifestyle these astrophysiciens and theoretical scientists live。 So it’s nice to have somebody break it down and explain in layman’s terms where these theories came from, how they work or why they may not actually be correct。 Highly recommend it was cool!!!! 。。。more

Alot went over my head but I learned alot too。 Happy reading。

Kevin Huang

(4/5) : ABI’ve always been interested in astrophysics but i’m not big-brained enough to understand all the little nuances。 The good thing is Tyson is always fun to listen to and he has a way of making educational material entertaining。 The book discussed quasars and pulsars and different naming conventions for asteroids and galaxies etc。 Lots of unique things I never thought about but will probably forget until I next hear them honestly。

Jess Go

Just loved it。 Listened to it on Audible, probably going to listen to it again and going to buy it on paper!

Fascinating!!! I first listened to the audio version of "Astrophysics for People in a Hurry" while on a drive to Tahoe and back home last weekend。 I loved it and was completely fascinated; albeit a lot of it was over my head and required pause and rewinding for 2nd takes。Afterward, when I got home and Googled around for more Neil deGrasse Tyson works, I discovered his somewhat simplified version -- "Astrophysics for Young People in a Hurry" -- which was much more my speed, while still a challeng Fascinating!!!

Thanks, NdGT, for these great books! I'll be pondering dark energy and dark matter for a long time to come, and I'll be ever so excited to share this stuff with my future kid(s)! 。。。more

Shortly after its Arrival, I made Contact with another delightful book written by a Black American, but I still don't know much about astrophysics。 Like quantum physics, it's beyond my level of intelligence。 I did understand how some things are known, and how many unknowns are at least identified as unknown。 See what I'm talking about! I'm still Lost in Space。 The Gravity of astronomy is obvious, not as much for us, as for The Next Generation。 So hats off to the Cosmos, & the people who study it Shortly after its Arrival, I made Contact with another delightful book written by a Black American, but I still don't know much about astrophysics。 Like quantum physics, it's beyond my level of intelligence。 I did understand how some things are known, and how many unknowns are at least identified as unknown。 See what I'm talking about!

Splendid bedtime story。 I've understood maybe 3/4 of it, but mainly let the Neil deGrasse Tyson voice take me into the space ;-) Not sure if the book itself (rather than audiobook version) would work as well。 It might be a bit baffling at the speed material is covered to uninitiated。 One to try if I happen to get it into my hands。。 Splendid bedtime story。 I've understood maybe 3/4 of it, but mainly let the Neil deGrasse Tyson voice take me into the space ;-) Not sure if the book itself (rather than audiobook version) would work as well。 It might be a bit baffling at the speed material is covered to uninitiated。 One to try if I happen to get it into my hands。。 。。。more

That gorgeous cover! The soothing tone of Neil deGrasse Tyson’s voice! The story of the universe!I want to understand it so much, but I doooooon’t, I just don’t。 (cursing, weeping, and wringing of hands)Welp。 I’m giving it five stars anyway。

Feeling insignificant in the great and grand scheme of the universe, but not upset about it。

Loved it! Listened to the audio version。 I could listen to Neil deGrasse Tyson talking about this endlessly。 In fact, I may very well have listened to each chapter more than once。 Maybe I have time to go back to chapter one, just one more time?

This book was the perfect amount of serious and fun。 Nicely done。 Loved the chronological overview and the general perspective that you get about the vastness of our universe。

This is one of those books where I need ANOTHER book just to understand what I just read。 Even the simplest concepts were a bit hard for me to grasp but they are for the most part explained well。 As others have mentioned, it is good to think about this in a way where our planet (as big as we think it is), is literally a dot in a sea of other planets。 In fact, there are MANY galaxies in our universe (pretty sure it was billions) and each one of those has billions of other planets。 I think popular This is one of those books where I need ANOTHER book just to understand what I just read。 Even the simplest concepts were a bit hard for me to grasp but they are for the most part explained well。 As others have mentioned, it is good to think about this in a way where our planet (as big as we think it is), is literally a dot in a sea of other planets。 In fact, there are MANY galaxies in our universe (pretty sure it was billions) and each one of those has billions of other planets。 I think popular saying is there are more planets/stars out there than there are sand particles on our planet。 It is really hard not to think that there are other habitable planets out there since the universe seems to be unending。 Anyway, the book is great but it seems to rely on reader to have a bit of background knowledge on stuff like different particles to fully understand what our universe is comprised of (and we don't even fully understand all the dark matter out there)。 Anyway, I was able to follow most concepts and I have no prior knowledge of our universe (unless you count the documentaries I saw on National Geographic as a kid, and I don't)。 。。。more
