Editorial reviews

Author Arnold Bennett lived a busy life. He was a prolific English writer who moved to France and became a high-ranking bureaucrat. He also dabbled in film and opera, and had a rich personal life. How to Live on 24 Hours a Day is chock full of Bennett’s tried-and-true advice. Bennett urges his audience to live authentic and ambitious lives. For Bennett, time is the great equalizing currency: No one can choose their allotment, or accrue additional time. So you must spend what you have wisely. Narrator Eric Brooks has an august British accent, and he expounds with the authority Bennett himself would have employed. Brooks methodically explains Bennett’s techniques for increasing concentration and self-awareness, both key tools to increase productivity and time efficiency.

While the content has merit I struggled to remain attentive. I also didn't enjoy the narrator very much.

He makes nodes to some very important aspects surrounding consciousness. Dale Carnegie suggested this book and it did not disappoint. I would say a person who lacks self awareness will most likely not enjoy this at all.

Amazing short little read

This was quite fun to listen to. While the content is very good, the delivery made it feel like I was having a conversation with the Great Gatsby.

Jolly Good

Old school but excellent way of time management. The narration was well done and seem to capture the essence of the message.

Excellent

An excellent if slightly dated discussion. The concepts and practices are not only still relevant and echoed in the productivity literature of today.

The narrator is extraordinary and moves this work from literature into the frame of a discussion.

Relevant and well played.
