How to Live on 24 Hours a Day, published in 1910, offers practical advice on how to effectively use one’s spare time to alter a humdrum existence into an interesting and rewarding life. He targeted an audience of the large and increasing number of white collar workers stuck in jobs with little in the way of incentive or reward beyond an income that trapped them in a numbing daily routine. The simple advice is to find 90 minutes three times a week, usually in the evening, and use that time for self-improvement through reading literary classics and other useful texts, meditating, practicing self-discipline, or studying the arts. Bennett advises against proselytizing to others, rushing or attempting too much at first. He favors a balance between flexibility and rigid discipline and a slow but steady pace at the outset. The book was one of the first self-improvement works and has gained resurgence in recent years due to its ongoing relevance.
