Reviews

[Tim Sully]

A great book about improving yourself. A great read in history, philosophy, and all the above. All this with an autobiography of a person. I really enjoyed this. The letters were hit and miss, but overall, Franklin makes you rethink what you are doing. Reading this makes you want to approach life with more logic and down-to-earth approaches. The first self-help book.
