# Ben Franklin’s Autobiography

Details
📅 Date: Sunday Sep 14th

📍 Location: library room 492

A year of big ideas, tiny habits, and better conversations (no homework police).
I’m doing a personal project this year: working through the Harvard Classics, one short work a month, as a way to think clearer, live better, and finally read the books I always said I would. If that sounds like you too, come join me.
Why join?

• We read to improve, not impress.
• Short, friendly pace: one slim work per month (or just key passages).
• Come even if you didn’t finish, I’ll bring summaries and the best quotes.
• We pull 5 practical takeaways you can try the following week (tiny habits, Franklin-style).

Kickoff book (free online):
Benjamin Franklin — The Autobiography
Ambition, discipline, and Franklin’s 13-virtues system—surprisingly modern and actionable.
How the meetup runs (60–90 min):

1. 10-min primer (who/what/why this matters)
2. we go around and talk about a short passage or two that resonated with you/
3. Open convo: what lands, what doesn’t, what we’d actually try in real life
4. Optional: pick one micro-habit to test until the next meetup

Low pressure, high signal. Newcomers welcome. No academic gatekeeping.

💻 I’ll share a free PDF and a 1-page cheat sheet in advance. Comment/DM for the link.
Coming up (sneak peek): Emerson essays, Marcus Aurelius (selections), Plato (short dialogues), Montaigne (selections). Mix of short reads and “greatest hits” excerpts—always doable.
RSVP if you’re in. Bring curiosity, not perfection. ☕️
