There Are Places in the World Where Rules Are Less Important Than Kindness

“There Are Places in the World Where Rules Are Less Important Than Kindness” is a collection of Carlo Rovelli’s essays that blend physics, philosophy, history and politics. He reflects on topics from quantum theory and black holes to Buddhism, climate change and social justice, arguing that curiosity and kindness matter as much as rigid rules.
