How to Live on 24 Hours a Day
ByPublisher Description
What if you could turn every ordinary day into a masterpiece of progress and joy?
How to Live on 24 Hours a Day is a timeless handbook for reclaiming the one resource granted equally to all: time. Writing at the dawn of the twentieth century, Arnold Bennett saw a generation racing through industrial life yet starving for meaning. His solution was radical in its simplicity-treat every hour as capital to be consciously invested in self-development, culture, and inner peace.
Far from a rigid schedule, Bennett offers a philosophy of deliberate living. He shows you how to carve out "extra" hours from seemingly packed days, train your attention, and cultivate a rich inner world-without quitting your job or abandoning your responsibilities. This modernized edition clarifies Bennett's language while preserving his sharp humour and motivational punch, making his advice instantly actionable for today's busy professionals, students, and creatives.
