The only thing that was annoying was how they repeated the book information each chapter.

Profile Avatar Linda Marrs Nov 2016

Interesting up to a point. I got a little tired of Henry's philosophic musings. And nothing was said about his later anti-Semitic leanings.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jun 2019

Amazing man with an amazing story. A man before his time.

Profile Avatar Rena M. Mar 2019

If all men were like Henry Ford this world would be perfect. Oh well. What a mighty good man.

Very nicely done.

Really enjoyed this book. The insight of Ford in business and life is applicable to today! would have wished it to be a little longer with more detail, but still great.

Great!

Profile Avatar Donna Brierley Aug 2016

The book was good. Didn't dwell on anything and was a good overview. Henry Ford's way of looking at all situations is excellent. If only more managers could be like this. I nearly didn't listen to it because of the narrator but after I got past this it was ok.

Profile Avatar Eric Kauffmann Jul 2016

Excellent. loved the whole Henry Ford's story and also the narrator voice.

Profile Avatar Patrick L. Jun 2024

I loved that it was written so long ago. You can really feel the times of Henry Ford and its not packed with modern business terminology. It's authentic and refreshing

more history t Han expected,quite interesting and informative

Profile Avatar Thomas W. Jul 2023

I’m quite sure Ford wasn’t as altruistic as this book makes him out to be but his philosophy of life certainly seems to be exemplary and instructive.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Apr 2023

inspiration to do the right thing

Profile Avatar Anonymous Dec 2022

I hated the fact that the narrator lists the title, author, publishing company and her name at the beginning of EVERY chapter.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Nov 2022

Wow! What an incredible person. So wonderful that his story was made into a book, but it’s really too bad his ideas faded into obscurity. I wonder if the Ford Company still has similar philosophy’s.

it's a wonderful experience listening

Profile Avatar Anonymous Sep 2022

Interesting but felt like I could have known him better with the time given. Not a lot on his family life or children

Profile Avatar David S. Aug 2022

If you've read other books on Ford, you'll immediately realize the historical inaccuracies. But it's entertaining(and sometimes cringeworthy)!

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jul 2022

Profile Avatar Anonymous Dec 2021

Excellent book, and easy to listen to story that captures the creativity and drive of a man that understood the joys of work and giving back to his laborers.

Great story

Profile Avatar Anthony E. May 2021

Chapter announcements annoying apart from that a good listen which was well narrated.

Profile Avatar Paul P. Mar 2021

The story is worth 5 stars. The constant repetition before each chapter was annoying. The narrator’s style was also a little annoying.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Mar 2021

Excellent. A most impressive man

This is the best look yet inside Henry Ford’s philosophy for life and business.

Easy listening, my 1st audiobook and I thoroughly enjoyed it. More audiobooks like these please!

Learned so much about Henry Ford, and was amazed by his work ethic and 'socialist' sensibilities. So perplexing to try to understand how he then courted Hitler and the Nazis ...

Profile Avatar Tausief S. Oct 2019

Amazing life of Henry Ford, truly gave a lot of learnings for life, by actually living by it.

Profile Avatar Jodilee Ward Oct 2019

Very, informative as well as a deeper look into the life as well as the nature of the life of Henry Ford, , that which I really never knew...I am very pleased with the narrator's expansion of the inept of the history about Mr. Henry Ford, and his mother ,father, sister,and two brother's, as they stuck with each other through the good times as well as when times got rough... HENRY Ford's father was stricked, to a fault, but when it came down to having to let go and let his son follow his dream, by saying, well son you know where your home is, your always welcome to come back home when you are ready, son go follow you know what you want ,God get son.. that almost brought tears to my eye.. Awesome story, I highly recommend reading this book
