Autobiografia di Benjamin Franklin

Franklin's emphasis on self-improvement is inspiring, but I'm curious how much of his success was due to his relentless curiosity versus strategic planning. Did others find his methods applicable today?

The book flows through different phases of his life with a focus on morals and achievements. I wonder if Franklin intended it as an evolving reflection or a guide for others.

Reading about his mistakes and self-deprecating tone made the autobiography more relatable. Was this a common trait of autobiographies at the time, or was Franklin unique in this approach?
