Publisher's summary
Written by Nikola Tesla at the age of 63, this autobiography is a fascinating glimpse into the interior life of a man who may have contributed more to the fields of electricity, radio, and television than any other person living or dead, a man certainly possessed of genius, and one who some consider the most important man of the 20th century.
My Inventions is a firsthand account not only of the art and science behind the conception, execution, and reception of Tesla's most famous inventions but of his early life and first creative efforts as well. History buffs, science enthusiasts, backyard inventors, and anyone who has ever dared to dream big will be thrilled to hear this engaging, informative, and uniquely humorous autobiography.

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) was a Serbian electrical and mechanical engineer who was born and raised in the Austrian Empire and later became an American citizen. His article "The Problem of Increasing Human Energy" (June 1900) is a philosophical study of the nature of mankind's relationship to the universe, with scientific extrapolations on how technological advancement might contribute to that understanding.

Story
Nikola Tesla believed the universe was never bound to spiritual or natural laws, but is in essence a machine where we are but a mere part of. In this 1915 text Tesla applies the mechanical theory of life to the greater events of the time such as the war and the earthquake in Italy. He states that the man as a machine is joined in a universal wheelwork that feeds cosmic disturbances to our world and as a result introduces calamities that are, in the great scheme of things, not at all arbitrary but interconnected.

Nikola Tesla was a major contributor to the electrical revolution that transformed daily life at the turn of the 20th century. His inventions, patents, and theoretical work formed the basis of modern AC electricity, and contributed to the development of radio and television. Like his competitor Thomas Edison, Tesla was one of America's first celebrity scientists, enjoying the company of New York high society and dazzling the likes of Mark Twain with his electrical demonstrations. An astute self-promoter and gifted showman, he cultivated a public image of the eccentric genius.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

For his victims, for their families and for the investigators tasked with finding him, the senselessness and brutality of the Golden State Killer's acts were matched only by the powerlessness they felt at failing to uncover his identity. Then, on April 24, 2018, authorities arrested 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo at his home in Citrus Heights, Calif., based on DNA evidence linked to the crimes. Amazingly, it seemed, evil finally had a name. Please note: This work contains descriptions of violent crime and sexual assault and may not be suitable for all listeners.

Story
In a gay nightclub in Orlando on June 12, 2016, the shooter, Omar Mateen, murdered 49 people and wounded 53 others. The attack was the deadliest act of violence against the LGBTQ+ community in US history and the deadliest terrorist attack in the United States since 9/11. But there’s a story you haven’t heard. The FBI had a secret history with the shooter and his father. To obscure that history, the FBI pushed a false story that the media dutifully carried—that the attacker was a secretly gay Islamist extremist who had chosen to target Pulse and planned the attack for weeks.

He said he had no idea what happened to his young wife, and that he and the boys had been camping in the middle of a snowstorm.

Strikingly handsome and impeccably dressed, he was germophobic and never shook hands. He required nine napkins when he sat down to dinner. In later years, he ate only white food and conversed with the pigeons in Bryant Park. This clear, authoritative, and highly enjoyable biography takes account of all phases of this remarkable life.

Story
Nikola Tesla believed the universe was never bound to spiritual or natural laws, but is in essence a machine where we are but a mere part of. In this 1915 text Tesla applies the mechanical theory of life to the greater events of the time such as the war and the earthquake in Italy. He states that the man as a machine is joined in a universal wheelwork that feeds cosmic disturbances to our world and as a result introduces calamities that are, in the great scheme of things, not at all arbitrary but interconnected.

Here, in one volume, are two impressive works by Andrew Carnegie himself: his autobiography and The Gospel of Wealth, a groundbreaking manifesto on the duty of the wealthy to give back to society all of their fortunes.

Drawing on exhaustive ongoing research by NASA scientists into the phenomenon known as “earthquake lights,” Dunn shows how the pyramid builders were inspired by this phenomenon and learned to stress igneous rocks in order to harvest the resulting electron flow.

A Legend In His Own Mind
Tesla was an eccentric genius, no doubt, but I can’t help but thinking that the cult-like overestimation of the man was fostered by this book.
What I read is the work of a narcissist and braggart. Throw in some delusional thinking, OCD, and perhaps some deception, and you ultimately have the mentally ill inventor who got by in his dotage by the kindness…or pity…of others. It’s a fascinating look at a frangible mind.
Did he really have a photographic memory? Did he memorize whole books word for word? Did he read every work of Voltaire? Could he function on no sleep? He says so in this work from 1919…but did anyone ever test these claims?
A cult has grown up around Nikola Tesla. Some nowadays believe things about him that simply aren’t true. The fact that claimants say he slept two hours a night always raises a red flag for me. I’ve known at least two other cult leaders that made that claim. This book seems the perfect seed crystal for such a movement.
What is interesting about this, I think, is that he dismisses the notion of free will. He also doesn’t seem to have any believe in the supernatural. Credulous thinking is something he thought I’ll of. But credulous he seemed to be.
Regardless, this is a fascinating audiobook. The only thing I didn’t like about it was his insistence on explaining in detail his electrical inventions…having no background in electronics, this totally confused me.

Tip: Don’t read the reviews before listening to this book
If he were alive today, I’m convinced we would be closer to bridging the gap between science and spirituality; perhaps mankind would be closer in realizing its’ true goal of world peace and unity.
It’s a shame he didn’t live even longer than he did; what a unique mind; a true free thinker.
..Or perhaps not so free if you choose to believe in his theory of the human race being automatons.
It’s a lot to digest for sure, and his ego is ever present throughout; but aren’t all geniuses a bit narcissistic?
