Mo: I am disappointed that I did not discover this book earlier in life (but happy I finally did!), and no wonder it inspired many great American leaders. Highly recommend it. An eye opening walk thru history, and really surprising perspectives on values, courage, virtue, hard work and success of a founding father.

Here's what I love most about this book: Benjamin Franklin's voice. I love the observations he makes and how they are practical and humorous bits of wisdom that still apply today. I love his variety of professions that he lived and his work ethic and discipline in his application of money. Also, I love the...

Comprador Compulsivo: A pesar de que recomiendo sin lugar a dudas su lectura únicamente le he puesto 2 estrellas por el formato económico de imprenta (hasta las revistas tienen el título e información escrita en los laterales) este lo metes en la estantería y tienes que adivinar de que libro se trata.
Recomiendo que busquen otra edición de este libro.
