Eric Weiner joins me to talk about "Ben & Me - In Search of a Founder’s Formula for a Long and Useful Life” on this edition of "Some Books Considered." Eric Weiner's book is a history of Benjamin Franklin, a travel book, a self-help book, and his thoughts about the life and example set by Franklin. What would Ben Franklin do in response to today's world? How can we be better people by following his philosophy about life? We discuss what it means to have a "useful" life.
Eric Weiner is “New York Times” bestselling author whose previous books include “The Geography of Bliss,” “The Geography of Genius,” “Man Seeks God,” and “The Socrates Express.” Among his many credits his is a former international correspondent for NPR and his writing has appeared in many national publications. He joins us to talk about “Ben & Me - In Search of a Founder’s Formula for a Long and Useful Life.”
