About this listen

Left unfinished at the time of his death, The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin has endured as one of the most well-known and influential autobiographies ever written. From his early years in Boston and Philadelphia to the publication of his Poor Richard's Almanac to the American Revolution and beyond, Franklin's autobiography is a fascinating, personal exploration into the life of America's most interesting founding father.

Fantastic Book!

I am not a history buff. I do not idol famous figures. But still his is a story with amazing insights about ourselves that is still relevant to today. A genius and clearly a strong inspiration for "How to Make Friends and Influence people" written over 100 years after his death. A must buy!!!

Non-Idol

Franklin is truly an inspiration and lived an amazing life. That being said, there were more than a few passages made obtuse through his use of language. Therefore, I did not learn as much from it as I would have liked.

many words of wisdom, but language is very flowery

It is always good to hear things straight from the horse’s mouth, but in this case I was looking for more than humility allowed Mr Franklin to give.
Onward to a biography to fill in the gaps.

Good, as far as it goes
