I just finished reading Walter Isaacson's Benjamin Franklin An American Life. I have also read Benjamin Franklin's own autobiography which of course is better, but this is a very great work as well and Isaacson has put a lot of effort in it. He also has many other books including the biography of Leonardo Da Vinci, Steve Jobs, and Albert Einstein.
This book of course tells the story of Benjamin Franklin who started from very humble beginnings and ended up dining with the kings. He was the true polymath and successful at many things. He was an inventor, business man, politician, and an author among other things. He invented for example electricity and how to capture the lightning. His book Poor Richard's almanac made him a very wealthy man. He was also a big influence on the Declaration of Independence.
In addition to work he was an avid reader and chess player. He was having late night chess games very often and Sunday was a day he devoted for reading. Chess he said is much like life and much valuable lessons can be learned from it for life like that you have opponents to play against and that you must not make your moves so hastily.
His habits and character are great to learn from and his autobiography was as first intended to be a self improvement manual, but Franklin chose to make it his biography. He used to go to bed early around nine and wake up at five. Hence the quote by Franklin "Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy wealthy and wise. Later in life he neglected his own advice staying up late playing chess and doing business.
I highly recommend picking up this book. Walter Isaacson's books have always been a great investment for me and very entertaining as well.

[@danielschannel7806]

Which one should I read? the one by Benjamin Franklin himself, or the one by Walter Isaacson?
