Einstein is probably the most overrated physicist of 20th century. Became a celebrity through a Jewish cause, did two very good papers (black body radiation and special relativity theory), then spent the rest of his life chasing phantoms. Not sure he would be the source of wisdom on a better life. Quantum mechanics guys were way batter and more impactive. I’d say John Bardeen is more impressive. Old Albert is a physicist with an Instagram following.
