Ben Franklin's Scientific Program for Prosperity and Self Improvement
Bob Oros · 2015
46/100
👎 Skip It
Bob Oros repackages Benjamin Franklin's famous 13 virtues into a structured, milestone-based program, which is a solid hook. But the 'scientific' and 'proven' language in the marketing isn't backed up by anything independently verifiable, and it's a small-press release with limited outside review. I'd enjoy the Franklin history but take the science claims with a grain of salt.
