“Bacon’s essays are among the most profound, most practical (and sneakiest) set of instructions for an entrepreneur ever published. I sleep with a battered copy by my bedside. A terrifying intellect combines with worldly-wise wisdom, the prose pared to the bone. Thank goodness Francis Bacon did not live in my time and go into the British magazine business. I would never have got rich with such a rival in the same city!”
– Felix Dennis, Author: How To Get Rich

Francis Bacon (1561–1626) was a trailblazing philosopher, lawyer, and statesman whose groundbreaking ideas laid the foundation for modern science and intellectual thought. His Essays are celebrated for their timeless wisdom and practical insights into human nature, ambition, and ethical decision-making. With a modern translation of Bacon’s essays, I make his profound ideas accessible to today’s readers, blending his sharp observations with actionable advice for personal and professional success. Whether you’re exploring leadership, growth, or strategy, this modernised approach to Bacon’s works bridges the gap between 17th-century genius and 21st-century relevance. Perfect for entrepreneurs, thinkers, and lifelong learners.
