Benjamin Franklin's Code: How to Master Yourself in 30 Days: The 13-Virtue Self-Mastery System Inspired by Benjamin Franklin's 1791 Autobiography
What if America's most accomplished founding father left behind a system you could run in 30 days?
Benjamin Franklin started with nothing. No money. No connections. No high school education. He was a runaway printer's apprentice at seventeen.
By forty-two, he was wealthy enough to retire forever.
He spent the next fifty years inventing, writing, and helping shape a new nation.
How? A small notebook. Thirteen virtues. One simple system of daily self-mastery he kept for the rest of his life.
In this book, you'll find his entire method — drawn from his Autobiography, The Way to Wealth, and Poor Richard's Almanack — restored in plain modern English and turned into a 30-day practice you can start tomorrow morning.
Each day gives
• ONE Franklin principle
• ONE short reflection (3 minutes)
• ONE small action you can do before bed
• Franklin's complete 13 virtues, decoded for modern life
• The Way to Wealth's nine money principles
• Eight gems from Poor Richard's Almanack
• Reader's Notes section for journal practice
• Index of all 30 principles
If a poor printer's apprentice could become Benjamin Franklin with this system, you can use it too.
Read in the morning. Try it before sundown. Begin again tomorrow.
