Investigating Benjamin Franklin's 13 Virtues

Dr. John Ingram Walker, MD Season 2 Episode 7

This week we go WAY back in time to examine Ben Franklin's list of 13 Virtues which he aimed to master every day.  The virtues are: 

  1. Temperance
  2. Silence
  3. Order
  4. Resolution
  5. Frugality
  6. Industry
  7. Sincerity
  8. Justice 
  9. Moderation
  10. Cleanliness
  11. Tranquility
  12. Chastity
  13. and of course, Humility!

Dr. Walker & Wende ponder whether one can ever truly achieve humility.  (i.e. of all my fantastic virtues, humility is my greatest!)  They also explore Franklin's other achievements of which there are many. 

Also mentioned in this podcast is Wende's guided monthly journal, Your Rythm of Rest and Reflection, which can be purchased HERE.
