Teach Yourself Physics: a travel companion

This is a handbook containing all the advice and recommendations about learning physics I wished someone had told me when I was younger. It is neither a career guide nor a comprehensive textbook.

What’s inside?

Understand why self-learning is an effective strategy. Learn why most university students never develop a deep understanding and what alternatives are possible.
Grasp the internal structure of physics. Learn how the fundamental theories of physics are connected and why physics works at all.
Develop an understanding of the landscape. Read bird's eye overviews that give a first taste of what the various theories of physics are all about.
Everything you need to get started. Read detailed reading and learning recommendations that allow you to carve out a personal learning path.
