In this inspiring tale, Franklin steps out of the past and shares with you his famed maxims about wealth, knowledge, virtue, and all other elements of business success. The Autobiography of Benjamin FranklinFranklin offers his life story, at least the first few decades, as he died without finishing it, as he tries to identify and develop a formula for personal success. Included is his popular Art of Virtue, in which Franklin lists the thirteen qualities he hoped to possess. An early and influential advocate of the idea that any of us can create in ourselves the greatness to which we aspire, Franklin speaks across the centuries to readers as clearly and practically as ever. |
