Excellent Book
How laws of physics rule in our day to day life and how they are related to all human affiars , politics , sociology , psychology etc etc are beautifully explained in this book.

Excellent book ...
Interesting look at real world applications for quantum theory. Its simple n easy to understand for people from non physics background

The Quantum Rules
This is an amusing attempt to align the laws of physics to the everyday common currency of existence. In order to do this the author has to stretch the analogies almost to breaking point, but his ingenuity is pleasing. Not a life-changing experience, but a good read, nevertheless.

How physics can help
Interesting look at real world applications for quantum theory.Nice explainations of quantum theory as well.Thought provoking and entertaining.Interesting take on the real world and the quantum one.

Such a disappointment. The so-called explanations are very dubious
Such a big, promising title! Such a disappointment. The so-called explanations are very dubious. There's not a lot of critical thinking here, and questions about the author's contentions are everywhere. Pointing out that there are some parallels between phenomena in the quantum world and our everyday world does not, in my book, amount to an explanation. I didn't see the causal links. It reads more like some casual thoughts of a speculative nature that a scientist might jot down in his journal or post on a personal blog, not a finished work worthy of being in book form.

Fun exploration of the laws of physics and the human condition
I very much enjoyed this book. It was interesting, thought-provoking, and I learned a lot. Some of the explanations were clearer than any I had previously come across, both in the world of science and in the world of people and interactions.So yes, strongly recommended for if you are looking for something to make you think. But not as a source of gospel truth.The book is mainly based on analogies between scientific principles and laws and everyday life. And they are interesting analogies. But they have all the problems of arguing from analogy: some of the analogies are weak or even non-existent, and if you strain an analogy too far you're unlikely to come to truth. Particularly on the "everyday life" side I felt that it was over-simplistic, with lots of generalisations made to fit the analogy, and those generalisations would neither describe my life nor the lives of those I know.What it claims to be deep insights from scientific rules sometimes felt to me just to be tenuous analogies between cliches and science.And it got old quickly saying things like "It's not my fault. It's the laws of the universe". That just doesn't work when all you have is an analogy.Caveats aside, though, it was fun to read, it was interesting, the science side had some particularly clear explanations, and I would strongly recommend it.
