| Publisher Description: This new book of virtues expounds on Benjamin Franklin's 13 Virtues. Ben Franklin developed this virtue system early in his life, and aspired to live into these 13 virtues on a daily basis. In Ben Franklin's autobiography, he attributed most of his success and happiness to having attempted to become a virtuous man. Not many people know that Benjamin Franklin was on a path of self development. In his early life, Ben Franklin realized he needed to take his personal growth in his own hands. Thus, on a voyage back from England to the American colonies Franklin conceived of 13 virtues after which to model his behaviour. Using this new book, you can follow in Franklin's footsteps and track your own progress on your own journey to a better life. Franklin's Way gives you a full explanation of what each virtue meant to Ben Franklin... and how you can easily adapt it to life in the 21st century. You can read through in just a single evening, and be implementing its lessons the very next day. The workbook portion of this new book is designed to help you track our progress through the 13-week process, one week for each of the 13 virtues, in only minutes a day. It's that quick, and that simple. |
Contributor Bio(s): Gautron, Serge: - "Like Franklin himself, Serge Gautron had always been a bit of a "Renaissance Man" at heart - with far more interests, and things he wants to learn and do, than he could ever find the time for. In 2013, he "discovered" Benjamin Franklin and his simple system for achieving so much more in life. And Serge knew instantly: He had finally found the solution to his own search for a better life. Although he found many resources online, there seemed to be very little in print. And really nothing that discussed these thirteen virtues and provided a tracking system, all in one small book. And that is when he conceived of putting together Franklin's Way: 13 Virtues For A Better Life - a special, singular resource for self-development that is simple enough for ANYONE to follow, and small enough to be carried around as a constant reminder of your commitment to a better you. Today, Serge counts among his many interests & achievements the following "short-list": -He is a passionate lover of wines, traveling and art and even brewed and kegged his own beer -He has worked in retail clothing sales, shoes sales, cooking, home renovations, courier service, & machining -He is a voracious reader, and a life-long learner -He has diplomas in computer programming & CNC machining -He has run and operated a tax preparation firm, were he specialized in both Cdn & U.S. returns. He continues to maintain his designation as Enrolled Agent -He has been studying personal development principles for several years. -He's an inventor, with two provisional patents to his name with plenty of new ideas always swimming around his head -He led a dragon boat team for two years (and still volunteers at events) -And perhaps his greatest achievement: Serge is a very proud and loving family man - with a loving wife & three beautiful daughters On top of all this, Serge owns and operates a Social Media Marketing agency, specializing in helping small business increase their social media presence and engagement to drive sales. Just like Franklin, he credits a great deal of his success - and his ability to effectively juggle his many interests, passions, & responsibilities - on the principles and methods laid down in Franklin's Way: 13 Virtues For A Better Life." |
