How to Live on Twenty-Four Hours a Day by Arnold Bennett (1867 - 1931) LibriVox "Which of us lives on twenty-four hours a day? And when I say 'lives,' I do not mean exists, nor 'muddles through.'" -- Arnold Bennett knew a "rat race" when he saw one. Every day, his fellow white-collar Londoners followed the same old routine. And they routinely decried the sameness in their lives.-- So Bennett set out to explain how to inject new enthusiasm into living. In this delightful little work, he taught his fellow sufferers how to set time apart for improving their lives. Yes, he assured them, it could be done. Yes, if you want to feel connected with the world, instead of endlessly pacing the treadmill (or, "exceeding your programme", as he called it), you must do so.-- For time, as he gleefully notes, is the ultimate democracy. Each of us starts our day with 24 hours to spend. Even a saint gets not a minute more; even the most inveterate time-waster is docked not a second for his wastrel ways. And he can choose today to turn over a new leaf! -- Bennett believed that learnin Mental Efficiency and Other Hints to Men and Women by Arnold Bennett Loyal Books Mental Efficiency and Other Hints to Men and Women is one of the many self help books that Bennett wrote, the most famous of these being How to Live 24 Hours a Day. It is highly readable, amusing and offers wisdom in an extremely palatable form. Bennett's gift for analysis and his knowledge of philosophy and psychology make this book a valuable treasure trove of handy hints to improve our lives. Though it was first published in 1911, it remains as relevant, wise and useful as it did more than a hundred years ago. Originally intended for American audiences, the book opens with a discussion on the nature of mental efficiency as opposed to physical efficiency that was, and still is, worshiped in America and many other countries today. The author presents his ideas in the form of correspondence between himself and various readers who have asked him certain questions regarding the problems they face in life. He recommends keeping a journal that will help people to perform what he calls “ "Care For Caregivers with Kathi Koll" Kathi Koll "Care For Caregivers" is a new podcast hosted by award winning author and speaker, Kathi Koll.Kathi became a full-time family caregiver to her husband Don after a catastrophic stroke in 2005 left him completely paralyzed from the neck down.Doctors said he would only live for 24 hours, but he went on to live for another six and a half years.Forced to live on a respirator, Kathi cared for Don, making sure his life was filled with love and compassion, right up until his passing in 2011.During her time as a caregiver, Kathi experienced the full spectrum of emotional and practical challenges that many full-time family caregivers face.From learning how to resume a joy-filled life, to figuring out the logistics of how to even find joy under such circumstances, Kathi pressed on, determined to make the best of their "new normal".During her weekly podcasts, Kathi will share with listeners her wisdom and insight in an effort to help others who find themselves suddenly thrust into the role o Inspo by Glo Inspo by Glo is a podcast created by Glo Castro a 24 year old trying to live her best life.
