As a teacher, I find the most challenging thing is to capture the interest of the students and ignite their creativity and imagination. Walter Lewin, former professor of physics at MIT, USA has been very successful at doing just that. A sampling of his video lectures on YouTube shows how easy it is to be seduced by his approach to teaching physics.
At the end of a long career at MIT, Walter Lewin, along with history professor Warren Goldstein, has written an utterly delightful book For the Love of Physics: From the End of the Rainbow to the Edge of Time - A Journey Through the Wonders of Physics (2011) which is almost as good as his video lectures.
