Book Synopsis



The inspiration that literally lit up the world was born, in part, out of edison's methodical approach to problem-solving, and relentless questioning. He realized it was not sufficient to observe that a method hadn't worked; the valuable question was why? By quantifying his successes and failures, and constantly revisiting failures until they were resolved, edison stayed ahead of the innovation game.

Inside you will read about...

  • Edison's early life
  • The electric light
  • The war of the currents
  • Other inventions and projects
  • Final years and death
  • Edison's legacy
  • And much more!

In truth, edison was a man who invented a lot of things while bringing about incredible advancements in many other things.
