Customer Reviews / How to Live on 24 Hours a Day
| You are basically told to view your allotted 24 hours a day as the number of hours that exist outside of your job, and to spend them doing something that will engage you. Many references to literature. And the author is English, so be prepared to read words like "programme" versus "job". Following his use of words and trying to determine the American equivalent was interesting...especially if you've not encountered this before.
There are no tips or hints as to how to "save time" doing this instead of that - or doing it differently - for example: clean a room in your house each day and by the end of the week, you won't need to spend a day of your weekend cleaning. I was hoping for these types of time-savers - but unfortunately did not see that this was not that type of book. At best, he tells you to use your commute time on the train to work each day, and back, to reflect on who you are, where you are headed and what makes you happy. He recommends not wasting that particular lot of time reading the paper - althought he recommends you still fit that in during the day - just not during your commute?? He focuses on starting with 7+ hours of the week and using them for something that will - again - engage you. Some valid points. A very short read. However, save your money and locate this book at your local library if you truly wish to read it. |
| The greatest thing about this publication is that you are aware of the author's opinion, but no bias exists within the material. The suggestions presented are done in such a fashion that any revolutions made will seem to be made by you, not the author. This allows for an objective analysis of your current lifestyle and some possible steps you may wish to take to improve it. I am not one who is usually enlightened or easily motivated, but I can honestly say I believe this book is an asset to all and considering the E-Book is only ($$$), you can't go wrong. Enjoy! I hope I was of some help. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| As recommended by William H. Danforth in his "I Dare You" (another excellent book), this book will help you to get more done in less time. Don't believe me? Read it! What more is there to say? It works if you'll only try it. |
