My Life and Work

Henry Ford — this name has become synonymous with the industrial revolution and the automotive era. Founded by him in the early 20th century, the "Ford Motor Company" transformed the perception of what a means of transportation could be.

"My Life and Work" by Henry Ford (1926) — is not just an autobiography of Henry Ford, it is a manifesto of the industrial age, an inspiring narrative about the power of ideas, perseverance, and innovative thinking. In this book is the history of Ford Motor Company, the story of an enterprise that Ford built from scratch, relying on his own strength, faith in success, and intuition.

In the first person, he recounts:

the inventions of Henry Ford;

the emergence of his boldest ideas;

the difficulties faced by Henry Ford and the key decisions that defined his success;

how he, despite everything, managed to realize his dream — to create a car accessible to everyone.

However, the scale of Henry Ford's activities goes far beyond the company he created. A visionary, a man who not only set himself the ambitious goal of making the automobile the most popular means of transportation but also managed to realize it, Ford thereby changed the face of our world — and along the way:

built an incredibly effective model of high-tech production (including implementing conveyor production);

developed a business model that became a benchmark for many generations of entrepreneurs (Henry Ford's management principles, Henry Ford's wage system).
