Adventures in Common Sense

Welcome to the complete, unabridged edition of Frank Crane’s classic guide to practical wisdom. First published in 1915, "Adventures in Common Sense" is a collection of crisp, penetrating essays that cut through confusion and point the way to a more effective, purposeful life.

His advice is earthy, direct, and remarkably modern in its insistence on taking responsibility for one’s own thinking and actions. This Annotated Reading Edition reproduces the full original text exactly as Crane wrote it, and adds a fresh introduction plus helpful reader’s notes to set the work in its historical context.
