The Philosophy of Greatness Brian O'Brien

Alexander the Great was a military genius who conquered half the civilized world-a destroyer of armies, a builder of cities, a man with a thirst for knowledge and a hunger for glory, a giant among men whose short life was awe-inspiring in its accomplishments.



What was Alexander's secret?



As a boy, he was taught specific virtues that guided his thoughts and actions.



More than two thousand years after Alexander died in Babylon, a young Ben Franklin discovered the ancient virtues in books and through observation. He set about systematically organizing his thoughts and habits to live by them. The result was a life of incredible achievement.



Franklin had planned to write a book about the guiding principles that had brought him so much success in life so that others could implement them and achieve greatness of their own. His book was to be titled "The Art of Virtue."



But it was a book he never wrote. Fortunately, his virtues are there for us to find in his essays and autobiography.



The "Philosophy of Greatness" is a system of thought and behavior based on ancient wisdom that is as relevant and effective today as it was in Ben Franklin's day, and even more so now than in the time of Alexander. It is a practical philosophy, a scheme of action, designed to transform you into the healthiest, wealthiest and wisest version of yourself-a way of life that will set you on a path toward great achievement.
