He was described as one of the only person smarter than Einstein, by no less than Eugene Wigner, a Nobel-Prize winning physicist, who knew both of them well. He was a polymath who spoke multiple languages and possessed an extraordinary intellect. He could perform complex mathematical calculations in his head, recite entire books verbatim after a single reading, and engage in advanced scientific discussions even as a child. He made groundbreaking contributions to mathematics, physics, economics, and computer science, notably developing the Monte Carlo method for nuclear reactor simulations and pioneering game theory. His unparalleled problem-solving skills would cement his legacy as one of the greatest minds of the 20th century. You may not have heard of him, but much of what you use in our modern information-driven society can be traced back to his mind.

But who exactly was John von Neumann? Was his talent God-given, or acquired through patient learning and determination? What set him apart from other geniuses of his era? Is there anything we can learn from von Neumann to apply to our lives? These are the questions we will explore in this book.
