Thirteen virtues. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Cameron Gunn considered himself a regular guy-a pretty good husband, father, attorney, and friend. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But was there room for improvement? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A reader of history and a fan of Ben Franklin (and weary of self-help advice that never seems to offer much help), Gunn decided to try a little experiment. He would attempt to live by Franklin's thirteen virtues, a list of lofty ideals the Founding Father held dear, as enumerated in his famous autobiography. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Would Gunn's plan to improve his life, Citizen Ben-style, prove to be a brilliant reinvention of the self-help movement or a boondoggle of revolutionary proportions? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e By turns heartfelt, hilarious, and more than a little humbling, Gunn's adventure takes this ordinary man way outside his comfort zone and into a thicket of not-so-modern values. The result is an engaging mix of humor and history-with perhaps a lightning bolt of inspiration or two along the way. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Prepare to get up close and personal with everyone's favorite Founding Father. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Temperance * Silence * Order * Resolution * Frugality * Industry * Sincerity * Justice * Moderation * Cleanliness * Tranquility * Chastity * Humility\"Cameron Gunn did everything Ben Franklin advised-except marry a much older woman.\" \u003cbr\u003e -A.J.
