Inhaltsangabe
I have spent the last sixty years trying to understand the world. I have studied for two doctorates at Oxford and London, travelled through Nepal, Japan and China, published more than twenty books. My explorations have taught me a little about how we might approach a deeper knowledge of the world around us. Here I will tell you of what I have found about asking questions, guessing, testing, assembling evidence, creative writing and the conditions of creativity. I hope it helps.
