Learn to use your most precious commodity--time--to truly live.
Arnold Bennett'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.
Bennett'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. Bennett'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.
