Fascinating Autobiography!
An absolutely fascinating mind and a delightful autobiography. The reader guy (I have the audio version) does a good job reading, that plus the many interesting anecdotes make for an enjoyable autobiography. A good one.

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

Read HIS words, not those written about him
Reading what he wrote, not what was written about him, was an eye opener. He demonstrated little understanding of physics in this text.

Tesla autobiography
Short book, very fast read. Obviously a brilliant guy. Equally obviously out there where the buses don't run : )Raging egotist, and honestly, rightfully so. Book is a very biased look into the mind of one of the great inventors of all time. Growing up, we never read about him in history class, Maybe he was too quirky?The book could use the services of a good editor.Glad I bought it. Glad I read it. Informative in many ways-positive and negative,Now off to read 'Empires of Light' for a bit more objective view of the genius.

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

Interesting and Useful Book!
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.

School systems do not teach about Tesla - that I know of! They should.
Tesla, one of the smartest men who ever lived in recent era! Read all you can about him and his inventions - the "industries" were against him his whole life - because he was about helping people instead of making "big wigs" richer! He was heavy into the magnetic world and how to make free electricity, etc - and these days his work is beginning to take on more importance for the average person! Learn about the 3-6-9 combo's and how they relate to science and math and inventing!
