An entertaining look at the life and wisdom of Alexander Hamilton, the Founding Father who mastered the arts of wit, war, and wealth, long before becoming the subject of the runaway Broadway hit Hamilton: An American Musical.Â
Â
Two centuries after his death, Alexander Hamilton is shining once more under the worldâs spotlightâand 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 countryâs financial system, charm New Yorkâs most eligible ladies, and land his face on our $10 bill. The ultimate underdog, he combined a reckless, renegade 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 Hamiltonâs Guide to Life unlocks his core principlesâintended for anyone interested in success, romance, money, or dueling. They include:
