Self-Improvement. Nonfiction. HTML:

You have to live on twenty-four hours of daily time. Out of it you have to spin health, pleasure, money, content, respect, and the evolution of your immortal soul. Its right use, its most effective use, is a matter of the highest urgency and of the most thrilling actuality. All depends on that. Your happiness â?? the elusive prize that you are all clutching for, my friends! â?? depends on that.

Which of us lives on twenty-four hours a day? And when I say "lives," I do not mean exists, nor "muddles through." Which of us is not saying to himself â?? which of us has not been saying to himself all his life: "I shall alter that when I have a little more time"?

We never shall have more time. We have, and we have always had, all the time there is. It is the realization of this profound and neglected truth (which, by the way, I have not discovered) that has led me to the minute practical examination of daily time-expendit… (més)

A very short book, a quick read. Very inspiring. A simple premise, but a challenge to put into practice. I picked this up after noticing Emily in Emily of Deep Valley was reading it. I appreciated the projects she took on and thought this might be encouraging. A thoughtful book. As true today as it was in 1908! ( )

Heard about this book from the Backlisted podcast, so I figured it would be a good idea to start the new year with a short and sweet self-help book. The examples are dated since this book is over 100 years old, but the advice is still (mostly) true and applicable. I at least feel motivated to stop wasting so much time. ( )

A great book, short and cut to the point, if you have an hour and a half please read this book.

Dr George Sheehan turned me on to this interesting book, in his book about running. It's very zen for it day. ( )

I enjoy reading books written 100 years ago. The writing style is delightfully different, and it is intriguing how words have changed. Not to mention attitudes. Nowadays, a book with this title would tell us how easy it is, and cheer us on - "you can do it." Not this book. It was written when cheerleading was not the self-help style.

After bantering the reader for a while, he gets around to some suggestions. For those who don't like his suggestions, he has other suggestions. In any case, mind control is the key to happiness. He advocates spending half of the evenings of the week in developing the mind. He gives some suggestions on how to train the mind. Even if you like literature don't just read. There needs to be thinking involved. And if you enjoy reading, it should not just be novels. To him, poetry is "the highest form of literature." It might take a while before I want to read poetry. Alas, my education did not cultivate that interest.
