I read (listened to, technically) this book a few weeks ago because I've always been inspired by the idea of Feynman and didn't know much about him. Honestly, I actually like him less after having read it.
As I guess I should have expected, because its subtitle is "Adventures of a Curious Character", it's unfortunately for me filled with many more random personal anecdotes, often involving naked women, prostitutes, gambling, or topless bars. There are some rather more scientific and aspirational anecdotes like the one linked here, and certainly it's beneficial to learn about a man as a whole and not deify him as a scientific god. However I cracked it open hoping to read about nothing but neat ideas he had and what drove him, not read about some rather shameless guy's strange happenings.
I guess I wouldn't say I recommend against reading it, but I wouldn't get your hopes up before doing so like I did.
