My Inventions: The Autobiography of Nikola Tesla

Tesla, oh Tesla…Nikola Tesla, that is. What an eccentric fellow, who went on to develop transformative technologies, such as the Tesla coil and the transformer (n.b., not the AI one). His autobiography poignantly presents Tesla’s inner monologue as he grows and matures as both a human being and an inventor. There are many lessons we can learn from a life like Tesla’s, such as the time and attention often required to become true creatives within a given industry. One part intuition, many parts perspiration.
