5.0 out of 5 stars Time, our most precious commodity, is yours to cherish, May 21, 1999

By

This review is from: How to Live on 24 Hours a Day (The collected works of Arnold Bennett) (Hardcover)

It is hard to imagine that this little book could be so persuasive. I consider it a classic, and an early precusor to many others that have attempted to demonstrate how time is our own and ours to manage and expand our boundaries of our selves. In the thirty minutes it takes to read, you will be left forever vigilant, and will never sit idle, unless you consciously choose to sit idle, while you ride a train, wait for plane, or drive home from what once may have been a routine. Read it, study it, and live again.

5.0 out of 5 stars A timless self-help book that can work for everyone., August 30, 1999

By 

[e-mail] (Thousand Oaks, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Live on 24 Hours a Day (The collected works of Arnold Bennett) (Hardcover)

Though it was written 90 years ago, "How To Live" addresses the inadequacies, frustrations, disappointments of people today in all walks of life and it does so with humor and wisdom. A daily dose of "How To Live" is at least as nourishing for the brain and soul as a multi-vitamin for the body. Arnold Bennett created a classic of its kind, a self-help book that really helps.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Book on Time Management, October 24, 2010

This review is from: How to Live on 24 Hours a Day (Kindle Edition)

Arnold Bennett's book "How to Live on 24 Hours a Day" is an excellent piece of classic work. Arnold Bennett (for those of you who don't know) was a popular English novelist in the late 1800's and early 1900's.

This book contains timeless advice about squeezing the most out of everyday life. Everything from training your brain to concentrate to living happily is discussed in full.

The book is short enough to be read in an hour or two (around 80 pages in length), and contains sufficient humor and conversational tone to make the read extremely enjoyable.

If you're looking for practical life advice to help improve your daily quality of life, you will find no better book than this.

Also: I read this book on the Kindle, and it was rendered perfectly. It is the full version of the book, and contains no weird issues (like some of the other free kindle books do).
