About this book

My Life and Work is the influential autobiography of Henry Ford, the pioneering American industrialist and founder of the Ford Motor Company. First published in 1922, this book offers a detailed account of Ford's journey from his early life on a Michigan farm to his rise as one of the most significant figures in the automotive industry. Ford shares his personal philosophy, business principles, and the innovative ideas that revolutionized manufacturing, most notably the development of the moving assembly line, which made automobiles affordable and accessible to millions. Throughout the book, Ford discusses his commitment to efficiency, quality, and fair wages, including his groundbreaking decision to introduce the $5 workday, which doubled the average wage and set new standards for labor practices. He emphasizes the importance of service to humanity, believing that business should benefit society as a whole, not just generate profit. Ford also delves into his views on education, thrift, and the value of hard work, offering practical advice for aspiring entrepreneurs and business leaders. My Life and Work is more than just a memoir; it is a manifesto for industrial progress and social responsibility. Ford candidly addresses the challenges he faced, the mistakes he made, and the lessons he learned along the way. He reflects on the broader implications of mass production, the role of innovation in society, and the responsibilities of business owners to their employees and communities. Rich with anecdotes, insights, and Ford's distinctive voice, My Life and Work remains a classic text in business literature. It provides a rare glimpse into the mind of a visionary who transformed not only the automobile industry but also the very fabric of modern life. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in entrepreneurship, industrial history, or the principles that drive lasting success.
