Alexander Hamilton's Guide to Life
Alexander Hamilton's Guide to Life | Jeff Wilser
9 posts | 6 read | 2 to read
An entertaining look at the lifeandwisdom ofAlexander Hamilton, the Founding Father who mastered the arts of wit, war, and wealth, longbefore becomingthe subject of the runaway Broadway hitHamilton: An American Musical. Two centuries after his death, Alexander Hamilton is shining once more under the world s spotlight and we need him now more than ever. Hamilton was a self-starter. Scrappy. Orphaned as a child, he came to America with nothing but a code of honor and a hunger to work. He then went on to help win the Revolutionary War and ratify the Constitution, create the country s financial system, charm New York s most eligible ladies, and land his face on our $10 bill.The ultimate underdog, he combined a fearless, independent spirit with a much-needed dose of American optimism. As he made his mark on history, Hamilton also mastered the arts of wit, war, and wealth. He died before he could teach us these lessons, but Alexander Hamilton s Guide to Life unlocks his core principles intended for anyone interested in success, romance, money, or dueling. They include: .Speak with Authority Even If You Have None (Career) .Seduce with Your Strengths (Romance) .Find Time for the Quills and the Bills (Money) .Put the Father in Founding Father (Friends & Family) .Being Right Trumps Being Popular (Leadership) For history buffs and pop-culture addicts alike, this mix of biography, humor, and advice offers a fresh take on a nearly forgotten Founding Father, and will spark a revolution in your own life."

For those of you who don‘t know, today #Disney+ has added the original #Broadway cast of #Hamilton‘s proshot to their service. I‘m planning on watching with popcorn & margaritas a little later today. Tix were/are impossible to get even now in NYC - and a college friend was in the original ensemble! She‘s on the balcony here first from the right!

Mollyanna I already watched it this morning and plan on watching it again tonight. It was wonderful😍. So cool that you knew someone in the production. 4y
Melismatic @Mollyanna ❤️ I‘m so excited! 4y

Underrated now overexposed founding father

A guide to living according to the habits and morals of Alexander Hamilton. It is remarkable what he was able to accomplish. Prior to the Broadway Musical he was know as the man who lost a duel to Aaron Burr. However, it can be argued that he did as much if not more than any of the other founding fathers to create our country.

Something I love? Hamilton 😄 it has helped me through the last few days, remembering that, while deeply flawed, our system of government can face adversity and manage to survive. #funfridayphoto @Liberty

WhatDeeReads I'm also coping via Hamilton. I listened to it for the first time today and my day immediately improved greatly. 7y
prowlix Yeah somehow reminding myself of the founding of our country has made me feel better. And it's pretty amazing music 7y

This Hamilton bio is a fun read, and includes many other Founding Father tidbits that are phrased delightfully.
