Written By Benjamin Franklin In the 1700's Updated & Expanded By John Hill IV Benjamin Franklin was one of the first billionaires in the United States. According to the April 1, 2002, issue of the Robb Report , he was worth roughly $7.5 billion in today's dollars . His credentials were remarkable. Franklin Was moralist philosopher sage publisher editor writer humorist inventor scientist professor first US ambassador to France Governor of Pennsylvania merchant banker financial consultant judge founder of an overseas intelligence agency Though he was self-taught , he held five honorary doctoral degrees from the most prestigious universities in the world: Harvard, Yale, Oxford, Cambridge, and the University of St. Andrews. This sage's method of daily self-examination, time management, and journaling--contained in a seven-page section of his autobiography called The Art of Virtue --was so important that, if Franklin had not consistently practiced it, a strong case could be made that the United States would never have come into existence. Franklin wanted to expand The Art of Virtue section into a book, as he had done with The Way to Wealth which has sold millions of copies in many different languages. Realizing that he would not accomplish the task, he wrote a strict blueprint as to how someone might publish such a book as well as practice his method. My book closely follows Franklin's blueprint and includes some improvements. This is the first time anyone has published a book following Franklin's blueprint. Benjamin Franklin diligently pursued living a virtuous life and became a multi-billionaire in the process. And he obtained wisdom worth more than all his worldly riches.
