The autobiography of an industrial visionary who changed the world—not just with machines, but with ideas. In My Life and Work, Henry Ford recounts the story behind one of the most extraordinary careers in American history. From his modest beginnings on a Michigan farm to founding the Ford Motor Company and revolutionizing modern industry, Ford shares the personal philosophy, mechanical ingenuity, and bold business practices that defined an era. More than just a memoir, this book is a blueprint for innovation and efficiency. Ford outlines his thoughts on mass production, the assembly line, worker welfare, and the power of simplicity in design and thought. His belief in making quality products accessible to the average person—and paying workers enough to afford them—shaped both capitalism and the American middle class. Originally published in 1922, My Life and Work remains a foundational work of entrepreneurial literature. Its mix of autobiography, business insight, and social commentary continues to inspire inventors, leaders, and thinkers across the world.
