The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin

More about the book

Focusing on self-improvement, the Autobiography reflects Benjamin Franklin's exploration of how to achieve a noble life through self-assessment. Rather than a straightforward life chronicle, it serves as a report on his personal experiments with living, highlighting both his failures and successes. Franklin does not present himself as an expert but seeks to discover a formula for success, making this work one of the pioneering texts in the self-help genre.
