Pulitzer Prize winning author and scientist, Edward O. Wilson advises researchers, young and old, in his ways of doing research. Using anecdotes from his life and career he portrays his successes and failures and what made him become a biologist. The book is written in the form of twenty-one letters divided in five sections: The Path to Follow,The Creative Process, A Life in Science, Theory and the Big Picture, and Truth and Ethics. Each letter includes advice and examples from Wilson's career to make his point. It sounds like a dry, intellectual tome but it is actually an easy and interesting read.
