As one other poster noted, this is more of a promotion for the author's self-help book then it is a story about Tesla. The introduction had me scratching my head, because it has more to do with "how you too can be a genius" and had nothing to do with Tesla. In fact, if you look deeper into Tesla's story, the introduction doesn't seem to fit Tesla at all.The few pages written about Tesla were interesting, but they grossly misrepresented events in some places. Tesla was a very quirky, intelligent, complex individual, and none of that really comes in what was written. For those who want to learn about Tesla and his life, this written blurb doesn't do it justice. The whole think reminded me of a Reader's Digest short story - remember those? Just imagine taking something like War and Peace and condensing it down to a 20-page story. That is what we have here.I was disappointed in this because (1) the intro didn't make sense, (2) the information on Tesla was too condensed to be useful, and (3) I found out this whole thing was intended to get you to buy Patrick's book on how to be a genius.
