What's missing in Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography

What details or type of information typically expected in an autobiography are missing from or very scarce in Benjamin Franklin’s Autobiography? Why?

Anita W.

Ben Franklin borrowed his words from Scottish proverbs like "Early to bed; early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise." These short and concrete pieces of advice are so direct, simple, and practical, which are bits of common wisdom, rational advice, short and to the point. Ben Franklin avoids reflecting on psychological, internal conflicts. This rationalist merely states the hard facts. There is no time for emotions. Truth is what is controlling the universe; a mathematical mechanism is set in place with the Enlightenment.
