Arnold Bennet's classic book, How to Live on 24 Hours a Day, has
been changing the way people use and consider their time since it
was first published in 1910. In the intervening century
surprisingly little has changed - we still struggle to make use of
our time and are often plagued by the persistent worry that we are
not making the most of our lives. Bennett encourages readers to
stop merely following the rote patterns of their lives and leverage
their free hours by viewing time as a commodity like money - each
of us is allotted exactly 24 hours every day to spend as we see
fit. What we make of our lives will ultimately be a result of what
we make of that time. Bennet's prescription is simple, but
revolutionary: consider the time outside your work day as an
entirely separate day, sixteen hours (give or take) during which
you are free to do anything you like to grow and improve yourself
and your happiness. Building on that premise, he helps readers
begin to take control of their time - starting with just 90 minutes
three times a week - and use it to truly live. Bennet's writing is
realistic and his advice transcends the years since it was first
written. How to Live on 24 Hours a Day is an honest and refreshing
perspective on how we can seize control of our time and spend it in
the wisest way possible.
