Benjamin Franklin is widely regarded as one of America’s wisest and most innovative men. He is credited with any number of inventions, is generally acknowledged as one of the nation’s Founding Fathers, and was a witty and insightful writer.
In 1726, while Franklin was taking part in an 80-day ocean voyage, he developed a system of conduct focused on 13 virtuous qualities. Ben believed that exemplifying these virtues in one’s everyday life would lead to a life of enviable conduct. He even created a matrix that would help him to focus on one virtue each week for a period of 13 weeks.
Ben’s Virtues is an app designed to help you benefit from Franklin’s 13 virtues. I’d read about Franklin’s system a few years ago and was very excited to come across an app that incorporated them into a simple, easy-to-use format.
