This is very quick read and a well written synopsis of Nikola Tesla and imagination. I had heard of Tesla but didn't know much more and this book was a great introduction to an amazing person and a great inspirational read about genius being a path anybody can take, never giving up, thinking being the enemy of creativity and varied knowledge and experiences being more likely lead to fresh ideas. It is not a book for getting an in depth understanding of Tesla or in depth information about self improvement or imagination, but it is a good short inspirational read.… (altro)

This book that I got for free isn't really about Tesla. Still it is the first "book" I have read about Tesla. Even though the first and the last of the book have nothing to do with Tesla's life, I learned a lot about him that you don't get from magazine articles. Thus, I rate it 3 stars since the biography seems to be legitimate. It matches a web site posted by Espartaco Palma. (http://theoatmeal.com/comics/tesla), and is consistent with rel="nofollow" target="_top">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola_Tesla.

The first 1/3 of the book goes on and on about what makes a genius. Hint, the answer is 'imagination.' Not bad, but not what I was reading for.

The last 1/6 of the book leaves Tesla and gets into musing about 'The Secret to Creativity.'

It was worth the time I spent reading it while waiting in line.… (altro)
