How to Live on 24 Hours a Day
How to Live on 24 Hours a Day, published in 1908, is Arnold Bennett's short, bracing address to the suburban clerk who spends his evenings doing nothing much and wonders where his life has gone. Bennett proposes that the day be treated as an income of twenty-four hours that cannot be saved or borrowed, and he lays out a modest program: rise earlier, use the journey to work for concentrated thought, and give an hour and a half on three evenings a week to the serious cultivation of the mind, with poetry and philosophy preferred over novels. The tone is friendly and a little bullying, and the book has been reprinted as a self-help classic for more than a century. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
