🇺🇸 From humble beginnings to Founding Father—this is the life story that defined the American Dream.

The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin is more than a personal memoir—it is a masterclass in self-discipline, ambition, innovation, and civic virtue. Written by Benjamin Franklin himself, this remarkable narrative chronicles his journey from a poor Boston apprentice to a successful printer, inventor, diplomat, and architect of American independence.

Franklin candidly shares the habits and principles that guided his life, including his famous 13 Virtues of Personal Improvement, his thoughts on education, entrepreneurship, public service, and his pursuit of what he called "moral perfection." A rare blend of pragmatism, humor, and wisdom, this book continues to inspire entrepreneurs, students, and leaders around the world.
