导读

每一天都有24小时，而有的人每天不止24小时。

In the book, Bennett addressed the large and growing number of white-collar workers that had accumulated since the advent of the Industrial Revolution. In his view, these workers put in eight hours a day, 40 hours a week, at jobs they did not enjoy, and at worst hated. They worked to make a living, but their daily existence consisted of waking up, getting ready for work, working as little as possible during the work day, going home, unwinding, going to sleep, and repeating the process the next day. In short, he didn't believe they were really living.

Bennett addressed this problem by urging these "salary-men" to seize their extra time, and make the most of it to improve themselves. Extra time could be found at the beginning of the day, by waking up early, and on the ride to work, on the way home from work, in the evening hours, and especially during the weekends. During this time, he prescribed improvement measures such as reading great literature, taking an interest in the arts, reflecting on life, and learning self-discipline.

内容简介

《悠游度过一天的24小时》是英国一位多产作家阿诺德·本涅特的非小说类作品，它以其清新幽默、切中要害的笔触向我们表明了一个人如何靠更有效地利用时间来提高自己的生活质量。它不是一些关于利用时间技巧的简单堆砌，而是刻画了一些普通人日常生活的真实画面，让你感到这种生活是如此的可恶和令人厌倦，因而痛下决心予以改变，让自己的生活旧貌换新颜。

How to Live on 24 Hours a Day (1910), written by Arnold Bennett, is part of a larger work entitled How to Live. In this volume, he offers practical advice on how one might live (as opposed to just existing) within the confines of 24 hours a day. "Existing" is different from "living".

People's daily existence consisted of repeated process every day. In fact, they were not really living.

Bennett addressed this problem by urging these people to seize their extra time, and make the most of it to improve themselves. He prescribed improvement measures such as reading great literature, taking an interest in the arts, reflecting on life, and learning self-discipline.
