Summary "Elämäni ja työni" by Henry Ford and Samuel Crowther is an autobiographical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores Ford's philosophies on work, industry, and societal progress, providing insights from his personal journey in the automotive industry.

The opening of "Elämäni ja työni" introduces Ford's vision of progress and the purpose of work, emphasizing a belief that true advancement requires understanding the mechanical and industrial aspects of life. Ford argues against the perception that machinery and nature are in opposition, instead suggesting that technology should enhance the quality of life. He reflects on his childhood experiences and formative moments, portraying his commitment not only to the development of automobiles but also to a broader philosophy advocating for smarter and more efficient labor practices that benefit society as a whole.
