About this listen
The essential universe, from our most celebrated and beloved astrophysicist.
What is the nature of space and time? How do we fit within the universe? How does the universe fit within us? There’s no better guide through these mind-expanding questions than acclaimed astrophysicist and bestselling author Neil deGrasse Tyson.
But today, few of us have time to contemplate the cosmos. So Tyson brings the universe down to Earth succinctly and clearly, with sparkling wit, in digestible chapters consumable anytime and anywhere in your busy day.
While waiting for your morning coffee to brew, or while waiting for the bus, the train, or the plane to arrive, Astrophysics for People in a Hurry will reveal just what you need to be fluent and ready for the next cosmic headlines: from the Big Bang to black holes, from quarks to quantum mechanics, and from the search for planets to the search for life in the universe.

Reflection on the cosmic perspective. I could relate with author 100%. And they have been my thoughts since childhood.
I really appreciate the simplicity of this book and how effectively it communicates complex ideas to everyday readers, not just experts. As a nurse, I found myself captivated and couldn’t stop listening. I’ll definitely be passing it down to my kids and that I believe will be the best acknowledgment for the book.

A Grand Representation of Objective Reality.
The content and the narrator's ingenious perspective is stimulating.
To
Neil deGrasse tyson,
There were moments where our conscious constructs,the vibrational frequency of our neuro synapses, when we(whoever is indulging) are comprehending cosmos, are super imposed.
cheers from the super imposed state of thought.

Not for the people in a hurry!;)
This is no way for the people in a hurry. It's for those who has the moment to imagine the unimaginable within and beyond the cosmic world.
I loved the book. It demanded focus and concentration. But Neil, as the great orator he is, was able to create a sense of wonder, fantasy and the curiosity to know more.
I loved the way he explained the periodic table and the planets in the solar system. I wish I had this book in school.
This is a book for the young enthusiast, not too young professionals who still dreams, and even for the old who has seen too much of this world and still wants to know more.

A great reminder of the vastness of this universe
Very well written and read. I was able to follow quite well since I did Physics Major.
However, I believe it might be understandable to even those without science background. All you need is a keen interest in the topic and an open-minded outlook to the story presented.

Cosmos explained in the husky voice of Neil
Neil's work on Astrophysics is so amazingly simple to understand even for a beginner like me. I have read this book twice consecutively because Neil has narrated it with so much love and conviction. It shows his beliefs and wants us to see the universe through his melodious voice. I love this book tremendously and would suggest all the star gazers and the cosmos lovers out there to read this book for the love of it. This is a must have audible on every one's library.. Thank you Neil for such an amazing book.

Engaging Read!
It was a pleasure listening to Neil deGrasse Tyson as always. The book talks about everything from atoms to wormholes to a tad bit of philosophy. The entire experience was effortless. All in all and interesting read.
