Delve into the minds of America’s Founders with Jeffrey Rosen’s latest book, THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS! In his recent interview with Jesse Watters on Fox News, Jeffrey discussed how figures like Benjamin Franklin and George Washington viewed happiness as a lifelong quest for virtue, not short-term pleasure. Drawing from the writings of classical philosophers, the founding fathers advocated for methods like rising early, exercise, and time management to achieve self-mastery, all habits that can still improve our lifestyles today, 300 years later!
