About this audiobook
What if self-improvement were less about inspiration and more about invention? Life Lessons from Benjamin Franklin reveals how one of history’s most versatile minds built a remarkable life through discipline, wit, and deliberate reinvention.
Franklin’s journey from runaway apprentice to inventor, writer, diplomat, and statesman was no accident. He treated daily life as a workshop, using habits, reflection, and experimentation to refine both his character and his results.
