Quite remarkable how a book from 1910 seems so
‘modern’. And somewhat sobering that these days many people work so much
more than the 8 hours a day...
I am repeating myself by saying that audiobooks are a great way to still be
able to ‘read’ a lot even when you hardly have the time/rest to sit down and
immerse yourself into some book.
To be fair, it’s also quite short—I got through it in probably fifteen minutes. Ironic, when you consider some of his suggestions, but I got the impression those were more oriented towards “serious” reading.
Thanks! I already eye-read the little book though.
I actually wasn’t too impressed with the contents; but I guess it’s good to read these kind of self-improvement books now and then—they hardly say anything new (from Dale Carnegie to Anthony Robbins), but they do give somewhat of a motivational boost.

Well then you’re in luck, because this very book is available as an audiobook. http://librivox.org/how-to-live-on-twenty-four-hours-a-day-by-arnold-bennett/
