The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin is the traditional name for the unfinished record of his own life written by Benjamin Franklin from 1771 to 1790; however, Franklin himself appears to have called the work his Memoirs. Although it had a tortuous publication history after Franklin's death, this work has become one of the most famous and influential examples of autobiography ever written.

2010 Reprint of 1850 Edition. The Autobiography is an essential self help classic. It was not a chronicle of Franklin's life so much as Franklin's attempt to show how one's life and character could become a noble one through self-assessment. Franklin, as a scientist, wrote it as a kind of report on the failures and successes of his experiments in living. At no point did he claim any special mastery over how to live life, but he was committed to finding a formula that could assure a person of some success. This motivations makes the Autobiography one of the original self-help classics.

In 2008, on the 250th anniversary year of that event, Jeffrey Reeves is adding a unique and timely...

Perhaps the most influential autobiography of all time. Having emerged from the poverty and obscurity in which I was born and bred, to a state of affluence and some degree of reputation in the world, and having gone so far through life with a considerable share of felicity, the conducing means I made use of, which with the blessing of God so well succeeded, my posterity may like to know, as they may find some of them suitable to their own situations, and therefore fit to be imitated. That felicity, when I reflected on it, has induced me sometimes to say, that were it offered to my choice, I...
