Poems[edit]
From his childhood on Tesla wrote poetry but considered it too personal to be published.[15] In the late 1920s, Tesla composed a poem—'Fragments of Olympian Gossip'—for his friend, George Sylvester Viereck, an illustrious German poet and mystic. It poked vitriolic fun at the scientific establishment of the day.[16] For example, he derided Albert Einstein for claiming that matter and force are transmutable (Mass–energy equivalence), noting that Archimedes and Isaac Newton had stated that they are not.[17]

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...more
Nearly a third of the book goes by before mentioning Tesla, and the first twenty percent of it is essentially a summarization of thoughts from Malcolm Gladwell. The last fourteen percent of the book is information about the author's other books.

I've enjoyed the book thoroughly.
Here are some quotes:
'There are millions of people that work incredibly hard yet have little success to show for it. Is ten thousand hours too simple of a prescription for greatness?
Yes, it overlooks another aspect of great achievement that cannot be ignored: opportunities-conditions that often appear to be plain old...more
Nikola Tesla is a fascinating man, and his accomplishements were many (and often misattributed). This book provides an overview of Tesla and what he accomplished, as well as an in-depth analysis of why he didn't accomplish more. It goes one step further, which is to share with the readers just...more
First of all, the author makes an introduction showing some 'hints'about IQ and imagination. So what?
By following, he writes a very abridged report of Tesla's scientific accomplishments without making any kind of reference.
And then he claims that it was Tesla who discovered the X rays and not Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen!!! Perhaps the author never ever heard about the The Nobel Prize of Physics in 1901 which was awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, Stockholm, Sweden...more
This book showed me how great was this man, and how he suffered to make something useful to the world, and how he was offended by the most two powerful men at that time (J.P Morgan, the richest financier at that time, and Edison, that great scientist and the discoverer of the direct current) and how cruel and evil was Edison with him, because his ideas were much better than him and were going to make his discovery faint and then the 'current war' took pla...more
But I have to say that the Tesla part is good. I mean maybe not great but a very good way to be introduced to this incredible guy. I liked how the author mentioned the intricacies of Tesla's relationship with key people at the time (Thomas Edison and JP Morgan).
P.S. You may start hating Edison after reading this book.

Admittedly, this book is more about what drives a genius and their imagination then it is a book about Tesla. If you want an in depth study of the life of Tesla, get another book. (You shouldn't expect any book to be in depth at just a little over 100 pages.)

The drawbacks for me were the lack of references and the advertisement of other books written by him.
A recommended read !!
This is merely a self-help book on biography disguise. The facts about Tesla are correct, but has no references, must I believe on it only because Mr. Patrick says so?
BTW, I think this 'biography' is way better than this book: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/tesla

Complaints:
First: The author clearly knows very little about the field Tesla worked in. As an electrical engineer, here are some 'gems' that make me shake my head and laugh:
'Tesla then suspected the upper atmosphere ... could be used to transmit electrical power great distances due to thinner, more conductive air.' [air doesn't conduct at all]
