About this listen

Nikola Tesla, genius or madman?

Noted for his incredible intellect, eccentric ideas, and world-altering inventions, Nikola Tesla has evolved into the classic example of mad scientist. But is that all there is to the story?

Uncover the rich life of Tesla and learn about his entrance into the world as a “Child of Light,” how he conceived his most brilliant inventions, and why he fell into obscurity and eventually died in a hotel, alone and penniless.

Journey with the visionary, from a small town in Croatia all the way to New York City, and gain insight into the mind of one of the greatest thinkers the world has ever known.

In this biography of Nikola Tesla, you’ll discover:

  • How his unique way of looking at the world brought the technology of the future to the 19th century.
  • What the Tesla vs Edison “Battle of the Currents” was really about.
  • His many successes - and many failures.
  • Details of his most incredible inventions, some of which we still use to this day.
  • How genius turned to madness.

With excerpts from Tesla’s autobiography and insight from those who knew him best, this book aims to shed new light on the unique visionary and inspire the next generation of scientists. The story of Tesla will leave you feeling mournful for his sad fate, moved by his never-ending pursuit of a better future, and inspired by his enthusiasm.

There’s so much more to discover. Get your copy of the biography of Nikola Tesla, and decide for yourself - genius, madman, or both?

Nikola Tesla: Biography of a True Genius was a good read by Luke Johnston. This book gives you a good look into Nikola Tesla's life. He had many eccentric ideas that some people never thought he would make reality. I enjoyed this read about an eccentric man who created many things we still use today.

Good Read

3.5 Stars
Overall, this is a fair account of the major events in Tesla’s life. The writing is a little dry, but I enjoyed most of it well enough. The narrator gave a good performance, enhancing the experience. I did get rather annoyed during the last third of the book (when the story gets depressing) because already established facets of Tesla’s character were brought up repeatedly. I did appreciate the final thoughts/conclusions at the end of the book and I think that they wrapped up the presentation nicely.
I received a free Audible copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
