Thirteen virtues. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Cameron Gunn considered himself a regular guy-a pretty good husband, father, attorney, and friend. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But was there room for improvement? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A reader of history and a fan of Ben Franklin (and weary of self-help advice that never seems to offer much help), Gunn decided to try a little experiment. He would attempt to live by Franklin's thirteen virtues, a list of lofty ideals the Founding Father held dear, as enumerated in his famous autobiography. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Would Gunn's plan to improve his life, Citizen Ben-style, prove to be a brilliant reinvention of the self-help movement or a boondoggle of revolutionary proportions? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e By turns heartfelt, hilarious, and more than a little humbling, Gunn's adventure takes this ordinary man way outside his comfort zone and into a thicket of not-so-modern values. The result is an engaging mix of humor and history-with perhaps a lightning bolt of inspiration or two along the way. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Prepare to get up close and personal with everyone's favorite Founding Father. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Temperance * Silence * Order * Resolution * Frugality * Industry * Sincerity * Justice * Moderation * Cleanliness * Tranquility * Chastity * Humility","brand":"Temple Publications International, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120875978992,"sku":"9781101442807","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101442807_p0.jpg?v=1763687248","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101442807","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
