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.
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/
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.
