As Benjamin Franklin was building up his newspaper business, he noticed that his morals were slipping-he would talk a lot about himself and didn't make time for all of his affairs. Franklin, noticing his descent, developed the desire for the perfection of his character, believing that admirable virtue was rewarded and "vice punished." However, he also found it surprisingly difficult to act with a perfect conscience-the task of moral perfection seemed impossible. Therefore, he created a system to slowly implement necessary virtues into his habitation. Franklin came up with thirteen virtues that he ordered from 1 to 13; the perfection of the first lending itself to the perfection of the second, and so on. Franklin's system is simple and is contained in this book: he would write the thirteen virtues down one side of a page and the days of the week across the top. He then ruled lines down and across to make a chart. At the end of the day, he'd mark a dot for every failing in every virtue for that day. Every week he would focus on a different virtue (starting with the first) and try to keep that line clean of dots, representing moral failings, for that week. After a week, he'd move on to the next virtue, trying to keep that virtue clean. Over time, he saw improvement in his morality and judgment. Enclosed in this book is the charts written out for you and the virtue that you should focus on for each week. I hope this makes it simpler to follow Benjamin Franklin's system and that great success awaits you because of this book.

The key to Franklin's success was his drive to constantly improve himself - mentally, professionally, and morally. He conceived of a program that would motivate and push him to adopt more virtuous habits. He drew up a list of 13 virtues, and created a chart to keep track of his progress in living them. Each week he would specifically focus on one virtue while also keeping track of the others. He would then move on to the next virtue and so on, eventually going through four cycles of each of the virtues in a single year."The Virtues Workbook" helps the average person follow Franklin's plan. The workbook contains a chart for each week of the year and an area to record your thoughts and reflections for each week as you practice the virtues. "The Virtues Workbook" is a great gift for all those aspiring to greater moral habits in today's world.

Benjamin Franklin was one of the greatest American minds of the 18th century, and his goal was to be a doer of good and to live a useful life. His dedication to principles of self-improvement and his belief that these principles could be beneficial to all led him in 1760 to "propose ... a little work ... to be called The Art of Virtue". Though Franklin never completed the project, editor George L. Rogers has culled Franklin's writings to assemble the book he might have written. The Art of Virtue is arranged according to twelve principles which guided Franklin's life, including Franklin's thoughts on goals and personal development, family and interpersonal relationships, business and wealth, ethics, good health, aging, and more. The Art of Virtue is full of profound insight, delightful humor, quotable quotes -- and plenty of common sense.

In his autobiography, Benjamin Franklin presents a plan for moral perfection: a set of thirteen virtues for individuals to cultivate. These virtues are meant to aid in one's economic and political successes while contributing to the greater social good. Rewarding Virtue questions whether Franklin's premise--that living virtuously benefits the individual as well as the community--can be judged by historical experience. In this book each of Franklin's famous virtues (temperance, order, silence, etc.) are presented in such a way to determine if living by these maxims do result in enhanced wealth or reputation. With a similar utilitarian spirit this book attempts to judge the worthiness of his ideas in the actual human experience. The subjects for this experiment are some of the best-known Americans. Presidents of the United States are assigned a virtue and then thoroughly investigated (i.e. Ulysses S. Grant and temperance, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and tranquility, etc.) By examining the lives of these selected presidents, the reader is challenged to entertain the possibility that these are lessons that could be applied to contemporary life.
