Thirteen virtues. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Cameron Gunn considered himself a regular guy-a pretty good husband, father, attorney, and friend. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But was there room for improvement? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Prepare to get up close and personal with everyone's favorite Founding Father. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Temperance * Silence * Order * Resolution * Frugality * Industry * Sincerity * Justice * Moderation * Cleanliness * Tranquility * Chastity * Humility\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cameron Gunn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tarcher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/07\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.26h x 5.54w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780399536076\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2010 pg. 88","brand":"Tarcher","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43333461016691,"sku":"9.7804E+12","price":28.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_41cb1e26-297a-4c06-a045-03ba7a291b7c.jpg?v=1754658110","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/ben-me-from-temperance-to-humility-stumbling-through-ben-franklins-thirteen-virtues-one-unvirtuous-day-at-a-time-9780399536076","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
