Boston, 1720. 14- letni Benjamin pochyla się nad książką pożyczoną na jedną noc.Świeca dogasa.Jeśli zaśnie, brat go znowu zbije.Jeśli ojciec zobaczy światło, zacznie się to wszystko od nowa.W drugiej części serii o Benjaminie Franklinie opowiadam, jak chłopak bez szkoły, bez pieniędzy i bez wolności stał się w 5 lat mistrzem prozy, wegetarianinem szokującym purytański Boston i świadkiem epidemii, która rozdarła miasto na pół.Czego się dowiesz: 6- stopniowa metoda nauki pisania, którą szesnastoletni Franklin wymyślił sam, w pustej drukarni o piątej rano. Metoda, która działa do dziś i nie wymaga ani nauczyciela, ani kursów.Wegetariańska herezja Franklina – dlaczego przestał jeść mięso w mieście, gdzie to był społeczny skandal. Jak chleb z rodzynkami i szklanka wody dały mu dwie rzeczy, których nikt się nie spodziewał.Epidemia ospy 1721 roku, która podzieliła Boston na dwa wrogie obozy. Spór o szczepienia, granat rzucony w okno i pierwsza naprawdę wolna gazeta w Ameryce.3 lekcje z tego odcinka możesz zastosować u siebie jeszcze w tym tygodniu.Wesprzyj podcast: patronite.pl/podcastlepiejteraz Postaw kawę: suppi.pl/lepiejterazŹRÓDŁA ODCINKAŹródła główne (pierwotne):Benjamin Franklin, The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, część I (napisana w Twyford, Anglia, 1771).

Boston, 17 stycznia 1706. W warsztacie mydlarza, w którym rok wcześniej utopił się w kadzi z wodą mydlaną 16-miesięczny brat, rodzi się 15. dziecko Josiaha Franklina. Najmłodszy syn najmłodszego syna, od pięciu pokoleń. Nikt nie postawiłby na niego ani grosza. Ten chłopak ma jednak coś, czego nikt mu nie odbierze:matkę z rodu buntowników i ojca, który zamiast pieniędzy daje mu coś cenniejszego - spacery po warsztatach rzemieślniczych i lekcje przy stole.W odcinku usłyszysz: Jak 11-letni Ben wymyślił pierwsze w Ameryce ręczne płetwy pływackie Co widział 5-latek podczas Wielkiego Pożaru Bostonu w 1711 roku Dlaczego gwizdek za wszystkie pieniądze nauczył go więcej niż rok w szkole Co działo się w domu, gdzie liczyła się treść rozmowy, nie treść talerza Jak prymus klasy wylądował przy przycinaniu knotów świec I dlaczego umowa, którą podpisał w wieku 12 lat, była jednocześnie klatką i kluczemTo opowieść o tym, jak wygląda PRAWDZIWY początek drogi człowieka, który wymyślił siebie od zera. Bez pieniędzy, czy znanego nazwiska.
