By Benjamin Franklin

An ebook to keep within reach. Find the collection containing this title, then save your EPUB files for reading.

Why read this book?

Benjamin Franklin looks back on his early life, his work as a printer and the habits he tried to develop. Practical experiments and candid accounts of setbacks sit beside his account of public life. The autobiography reveals a person revising his methods, rather than simply listing achievements.

For readers interested in autobiography and the gap between a carefully planned routine and the imperfect way it is actually lived.

Our reading: choose a useful intention for the day, then reflect on what you did.
