How to Live on 24 Hours a Day And Relieve Stress

Late? Stressed? Disorganised? Philosophers may have explained space but they have not yet explained time. Arnold Bennett does his best in this century-old classic which poses the question: if time is the most precious of possessions, why do we waste it?
This is a book with lessons for today’s frazzled city dweller. It is part philosophy and part self-help. Bennett dissects time and explains how to reflect upon genuinely important things; upon the problem of our happiness, upon the main directions of our lives, and the share in which reason has (or has not) in determining our actions. It is only when we focus on the relationship between our principles and conduct that we can begin to understand ourselves and discover the key to our happiness.
Bennett’s book is published in this edition with his other instructive manuals: Mental Efficiency, The Human Machine and Literary Taste, How to Form It.
