now\u2014has looked upon him as the original self-help\/personal development guru.<\/p>\n<p>ERIC WEINER is the author of the NY Times bestsellers The Geography of Bliss\u2014One Grump\u2019s Search for the Happiest Places in the World and The Geography of Genius, as well as the critically acclaimed Man Seeks God \u2014My Flirtation With the Divine and The Socrates Express\u2014In Search of Life Lessons from Dead Philosophers.<\/p>\n<p>In his latest book Ben and Me, the former NPR international correspondent puts the life, work, ideas, inventions, relationships, wit, and successes and failures of Benjamin Franklin under his microscope to discover what we can learn from the Founding Father about living a better, longer, and more useful.<\/p>\n<p>Join Sandie and Eric Weiner this week for a lively conversation about the man behind the myth, and why we would all be better off if we acted and thought a bit more like Ben Franklin. | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ericweinerbooks.com\"
