On Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein was indisputably a genius, but that doesn’t mean everything came easily to him.

His father’s business failed, he didn’t pass some of his college entrance exams, he had trouble finding a job when he graduated and he had a child out of wedlock. Did these problems hold him back or spur him to success? How did his emotional life affect his intellectual one? Dr. Michael Shara, head of the Astrophysics Department at the American Museum of Natural History and the curator of an exhibit about Einstein, talks with author and psychoanalyst Gail Saltz.
