📔 Book Title- Letter of His Son of the Art of Becoming a Man of the World and a Gentleman 1748
✏️Author: The Earl of Chesterfield
📖Genre: Classics
⏳Length: 54 pages
🔍Speed Summary: This book is a series of collected letters. The letters contain the life wisdom that a successful nobleman wanted to pass down to his son.
📝3 Inspiring Quotes:
1️⃣ Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.
2️⃣ Pleasure is the rock which most young people split upon: they launch out with crowded sails in quest of it, but without a compass to direct their course, or reason sufficient to steer the vessel; for want of which, pain and shame, instead of pleasure, are the returns of their voyage.
3️⃣ There is nothing that people bear more impatiently, or forgive less than contempt, and an injury is much sooner forgotten than an insult.
🤓The Big Head Frog’s Book Review: This is a short book, but it contains a lot of great suggestions. Even though the letters were written hundreds of years ago, most of the advice still makes sense today. The author often reminds his son about the importance of being polite. For example: don’t hurt others with harsh language or don’t act imprudently. He also encourages his son to learn from his surroundings and see how other people act and think. One could probably tell that the author is a very caring father and really hope to provide great guidance to his son.
The language of this book is a bit old, and some letters could be a bit dry. I skimmed through some of the letters🙈, but I found other letters interesting and agreeable.
❤️ You might want to read this book if you want to be inspired by an old/ wised aristocrat🌟
