Two centuries after his death, Alexander Hamilton is shining once more under the worldβs spotlightβand 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 countryβs financial system, charm New Yorkβs 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 Hamiltonβs Guide to Life unlocks his core principlesβintended for anyone interested in success, romance, money, or dueling. They include:
