Poor Richard's Almanack: The Path to Wealth

Author: Benjamin Franklin
Publisher:
Publication Date: 2003-01-01
Features: A comprehensive book of life wisdom written by a polymathic giant, where one sentence might change your life. In today's era where specialization prevails, many are experts in one field but lack proficiency in others. Faced with this somewhat absurd situation, before even reading Franklin's all-encompassing book of life wisdom, just looking at him—the polymathic giant—can inspire profound insights. As is well-known, he was a great scientist and inventor; it was he who proved lightning is a form of electricity using a kite, and he who demonstrated that electricity generated in the laboratory is a great cosmic energy source. He also proposed a complete theory of electricity and invented the lightning rod, among other things. He was also an outstanding statesman and diplomat, one of the founding fathers of the United States. He was an accomplished writer and philosopher, whose profound thoughts and simple yet witty writing style are still widely admired today. He was also a successful printer and publisher, and his journey to wealth serves as the best example of his life philosophy. Faced with such a "polymathic" giant, we can't help but marvel while asking ourselves, "What should I do?"
