About this ebook

If you want to learn about one of history’s most fascinating minds and uncover some of his secrets of imagination—secrets that enabled him to invent machines light years ahead of his time and literally bring light to the world—then you want to read this book. 

Imagination amplifies and colors every other element of genius, and unlocks our potential for understanding and ability. 

It’s no coincidence that geniuses not only dare to dream of the impossible for their work, but do the same for their lives. They’re audacious enough to think that they’re not just ordinary players. 

Few stories better illustrate this better than the life of the father of the modern world, a man of legendary imaginative power and wonder: Nikola Tesla. 

In this book, you’ll be taken on a whirlwind journey through Tesla’s life and work, and not only learn about the successes and mistakes of one of history’s greatest inventors, but also how to look at the world in a different, more imaginative way. 

Read this book now and learn lessons from Nikola Tesla on why imagination is so vital to awakening your inner genius, and insights into the real “secret” to creativity, as explained by people like Jobs, Picasso, Dali, and Twain.

Ratings and reviews

An interesting read however there were a couple of ''misspellings/structure'' discrepancies. I pointed out some of these, but otherwise nice, good job. I also recommend watching the documentaries about Nikola Tesla which are quite informative and covers a ''wider span'', more in depth. I think I will have a look at your other books, I saw something about one in the end of this one that seemed really intriguing.

First 13 pages are about what it is to be succesdfull or outright genius. Then there is somewhat well written essay of Tesla's life. Essay is compact depictation of the life of Tesla, kinda like someone rewriting wiki article into biography. And then there is an invitation to buy writers self help book of how to become genius, which I assume includes encouragements to spend thousands of hours into something by age of 20 andthen getting lucky, or the other way around.

I am always skeptical when something is offered to me for free. The first 12 of the 34 pages of this book does not relate to Tesla, but is a collection of quotations without sources to back them up. After reading this I was unsure if anything about Tesla would even be written in the book. Though the book actually tells about the life of Tesla. I started to grow weary of the book again, as no technical detail is provided to prove the assertions stated nor does it have sources to verify the claims made in it.
