"Don't Think Twice is about when I suffered three great losses over a six month period."

“Weaving the threads of astronomy, physics, chemistry, biology, and philosophy into a seamless narrative tapestry, Sean Carroll enthralls us with what we’ve figured out in the universe and humbles us with what we don’t yet understand. Yet in the end, it’s the meaning of it all that feeds your soul of curiosity.” —Neil deGrasse Tyson, host of Cosmos: A SpaceTime Odyssey

Advice to the next author to narrate their audiobook: "Do NOT record your audiobook with your mother."

"One of the reasons I wanted to do an audiobook was the fact that it is very intimate and that I could make a connection as an author using just my voice and the words that I have written . . . That was very enticing to me."
