My Life and Work: The Autobiography of Henry Ford

The Autobiography Of Henry Ford: My Life And Work is the great twentieth-century industrialist Henry Ford's telling of his story. It covers the different stages of his life, starting from the times when he was still young and discovering his interest in business to the times when he was at the head of a successful business empire. Ford talks about the different elements that helped shape his personal philosophy. He explains how he began to create his business and talks of the obstacles that he faced while establishing the Ford Motor Company. The readers will learn how to overcome challenges and obstacles and go on to create a successful business. Ford tells his readers to measure the worth of a business or government by the service it delivers and not its profits or earnings. He also holds physical production and tangible service over and above the value judged in money and profits. Ford says with certainty that only service, not laws and rules, can cater to the needs of the people. He applies this reasoning to the transportation industry, the lending system, labor-management interaction, and international trade.
