Description
The self-improvement playbook of America's most industrious Founding Father.
Benjamin Franklin was a printer, a diplomat, an inventor, and one of the sharpest minds the American republic ever produced. But before any of that, he was a young man with an audacious goal: moral perfection.
At the age of twenty, Franklin drew up a list of thirteen virtues he believed were essential to a life well lived — temperance, silence, order, resolution, frugality, industry, sincerity, justice, moderation, cleanliness, tranquility, chastity, and humility. He carried a small notebook and tracked his progress daily, marking each lapse with a dot and working to eliminate them one by one.
He never reached perfection. But he never stopped trying. And the wisdom he recorded along the way has endured for more than two centuries.
This elegant pocket hardcover from Applewood Books contains all thirteen virtues exactly as Franklin wrote them, along with the personal tracking chart he used to measure his own progress. It’s small enough to carry every day and meaningful enough to keep for a lifetime.
- All thirteen of Franklin’s moral virtues, in his own words
- Includes Franklin’s personal virtue-tracking chart
- Pocket-sized hardcover — ideal for everyday carry or gifting
