In the Footsteps of Franklin: Advice on Living an Exemplary Life, Building a Successful Business, and Leaving a Permanent Legacy (Building a Better Life)

Benjamin Franklin wrote one of the first books on how to run a successful business, live an exemplary life, and build a personal fortune in America. His Autobiography is the original self-help book and has been in print for over 200 years. Franklin applied his powerful mind to the creation of a successful business, securing the independence of a new country, the development of strong foreign relations, and distilling the principles of a successful and prosperous life. This book reveals the key personal, professional, and social principles that Franklin prescribed for all Americans. These principles are mined from his Autobiography, The Way to Wealth, Poor Richards's Almanac, and many other writings.
