That's not really very fair. Yes, a lot of advice is pretty "humdrum", but we admire Feynman because of the person he was altogether, not because he rehashes tired old advice. There are plenty of other Nobel Prize-winning scientists and plenty of other wacky characters, but there are really not many people who approached life with zest as Feynman did. Many people will pay lipservice to Feynman's ideas and ideals, but few actually take it to heart and live their lives by it. Our society's screwy ideals have too strong of a hold on us. You should read "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!", I [nearly] guarantee that you'll enjoy it.
