My Inventions by Nikola Tesla

4.0

I NEED TO KNOW MORE! I want to know more about his mental state and less about his inventions! I'm guessing he had OCD. If a book doesn't already exist about how he succeeded despite his mental challenges and industry discrimination, somebody should write one! And, he identified his inspirational mother as an inventor in the 1860s! Even GR's author description says "...in the United States, Tesla's fame rivaled that of any other inventor or scientist in history or popular culture, but due to his eccentric personality and his seemingly unbelievable and sometimes bizarre claims about possible scientific and technological developments, Tesla was ultimately ostracized and regarded as a mad scientist." He wrote very clearly and confidently. I'm glad Time Magazine honored him for his 75th birthday (in 1931) -- I will have to see if I can get a copy of it.
