My Inventions: The Autobiography of Nikola Tesla

It feels like it should be criminal to only recognize this man as much as we have. His glory and brilliance overshadows his subtle lack of confidence abd the fact the he was swindled out of money and recognition, several times. Still, he was so humble he had the opinion that his plight, being "misunderstood and unrewarded," was the natural condition of an inventor. In some cases, his being one of them, it may be so but that doesn't make it right. Industries were built off of the sweat of his brow! This man, if only he had read and, like a politician, so passionately and relegiously followed The Prince, by Machiavelli, I imagine he would have had been able to contending with the likes of Rockefeller and J. P. Morgan, needless to mention Edison lol He ruthlessly got stepped on and ridiculed because they were too afraid, jealous, or just plain stupid. Very few are aware of his spiritual nature, he touches on this a little but, if I could ask him some questions, if I could travel back in time lol I bet he would describe a whole host of spiritual experiences; the obvious one was his method of invention. There should, at the least, the very least, be a national holiday for this man who, at a young age, unlocked a secret that made him a genius; a genius who so loved the world that he gave his inventions; inventions that gave rise to an unprecedented wealth of endless scientific advancement.

This book is a rather quick read. It is written by the infamous Nikola Tesla. He was obviously a genius, but it also struck me that he was also a rather humble man as well. It seemed to me that someone like Nikola Tesla would be the ideal older brother because he was kind AND brilliant at the same time. I recommend this book to everyone who is either an engineer or is married to an engineer. It somewhat gives you a peak into the soul of a brilliant genius. I'm very glad I read this book and will no doubt read it again from time to time. (By the way, I am a female engineer and I worked with many male engineers over the years.) In general, engineers are a misunderstood group of people who have far more compassion and empathy than people realize. If you live with or are related to an engineer, I suggest that you read this book.

This is a very nice and insightful book in which Nikola Tesla shares his life experiences. I highly recommend it.

It was a fast read but dull and not as inciteful as anticipated.

Good read.

This was a gift for my husband. The book is a well made hardback, and he's enjoyed the read. I bought an autobiography along with a biography for him to read at the same time. He felt that was the most accurate way to read between the lines. This had to be ordered, but it was worth the wait.

Tesla was one of the greatest minds in history. He predicted the Apple watch based on his work in the 1900's also nuclear power, lasers and he invented the radio transmitter. A must read for anyone studying electronics.

Arrived in great condition

A very interesting read!

A mi hijo le gustó mucho este libro, lástima que es muy breve. Nos hubiera gustado un poco más de contenido.

Clear and easy to read, it summarize most of Nikola Tesla life I recommend

Words from no other than the genius man himself. By the time you are done with the book, you yourself will develop a far better visualization than you started with. Strange but adventure filled journey of a man who improved lives of mankind by using analytical thinking. Do read the book, it might just give you the perseverance you need in life.

interesting to read, small book, easy to read.
