With a title like that I was expecting the worst but this turned out to be a very engaging and informative set of interviews a not a string of trite soundbites about how wonderful the world is. I wish the interviews were longer! (

I've been a humanities person ever since high school, but I love reading science. The breadth of these interviewees drew me in to fascinating research and personal outlooks of scientists. The only ding I'd give the book is the imaginary Leonardo da Vinci interview that forms the final chapter. (

'We are all stardust' is a real book where scientists speak of their thoughts in the capacity of a regular person. There is no unnecessary and complex scientific jargon or terms and concepts that the reader will feign upon. I feel engulfed with a buoyant energy after reading Dr. Jane Goodall's interview with the writer. It's wonderful to hear scientists talk of poetry of molecules and ideas like "our well-being depends on our friends and their friends", or that "love is the offspring of knowledge", about immortality, on empathy, the human genome and memory or if luxury is immoral?

It is indeed nice to read how small events from their childhood or as youngsters stirred their way of interpreting science. I loved the easy going natural direction of their conversations. I re-read the book twice. It's a delightful keepsake and a remembrance of the complexities yet astounding nature of this living world we inhabit. (

Absolutely fascinating! I loved this book. Truly amazing people in their specific scientific fields, looking for the answers to some of life's most challenging questions. Some discussions were above my level of understanding, but none the less, interesting reading as we hurtle into our futures. (

Probably the most wondrous thing in the world is to hear the answers to the questions you never knew you wanted to ask. Set up in an interview style, Klein pushes the conversation where he needs to ask the questions he wants, but he plot is really non-existent. The best way to learn why someone loves something is through just talking to them about it. If you find yourself unable to talk to Jared Diamond or Jane Goodall, this book is definitely a great alternative into getting inside the heads of some of the world’s greatest minds. (
