How to live on 24 hours a day

Book • 2000

Written in the early 20th century, 'How to Live on 24 Hours a Day' is a philosophical examination of time management.

Bennett addresses the common struggles of balancing work, leisure, and personal development, urging readers to see their free time as an opportunity for improvement.

He suggests practical ways to reclaim and maximize free time, such as dedicating 90 minutes three times a week to learning and self-improvement, and emphasizes the importance of mental and creative pursuits, learning, and reflection.

The book encourages readers to take charge of their lives and live more meaningfully despite busy routines.
