Enriched Edition. Classic Time Management, Self-Culture, and Spiritual Life-MasteryBy Arnold Bennett
Length4h 31m
About this audiobook
Bringing together Arnold Bennett's incisive essay How to Live on 24 Hours a Day with The Game of Life and How to Play It, this volume belongs to the rich early twentieth-century tradition of practical self-culture. Bennett's prose is urbane, brisk, and unsentimental, urging readers to reclaim the "daily miracle" of time from routine and passivity. Set beside the more spiritualized language of life-mastery suggested by the companion text, the book frames existence as both discipline and art. Arnold Bennett (1867–1931), celebrated novelist of the Staffordshire "Five Towns," journalist, critic, and indefatigable man of letters, wrote with intimate knowledge of modern urban labor and middle-class aspiration. His own career—built through rigorous habits, wide reading, and professional discipline—helps explain his fascination with time management, intellectual self-improvement, and the moral seriousness of ordinary life. This book is recommended for readers interested in classic self-help before its modern commercialization, as well as students of Edwardian culture and literary nonfiction. It offers not slogans, but a demanding, humane invitation to live deliberately.
