Nikola Tesla: Imagination and the Man That Invented the 20th Century

Worthless self-help drivel packaged up to look like a biography of a great scientist.
I could do a similar thing and write a "biography" of a historical politician by pasting How to Win Friends and Influence People on the pages within. To hide the fact I created a sham I might provide around 3 pages of biography scattered within; the first website I find on the internet would be the obvious source for such important historical information regarding the "subject" of my book. Yes... not only will this be a valuable use of my time, I will have the vaunted title of 'author.' I could even do it over and over again in order to claim I have "published numerous books!" I'm such a genius, I should even think about writing a book about myself one day!

I definitely feel more free, now that I've made it through that experience. :)
Wizard: The Life and Times of Nikola Tesla: Biography of a Genius is much better. I saw the one you read and didn't bother with it.

Huge waste of time and money
Library rental so I'll post review in a few weeks.
Thanks, The cover and title looked great. Then I saw it was 43 pages long and talked about how I can harness the power of imagination...
Thank you for the warning. In any case, I wouldn't read a book that had such a glaring grammatical error in its title. I don't know if 'the man that...' is an American construction - but in U.K. English it's wrong. Just wrong.
Yikes! That sounds awful! Thanks for the warning.
i also think that i can achive more
I'm going to look more into that Philadelphia Experience.... Creepy story
Do you have any recommendations about Nikola Tesla books
best motivating book I have read in my life.
Only 15 pages in but have the exact same impression so far :/
english or Spanish
