How to Live on Twenty-four Hours a Day is a short self-help book ‘about the daily organization of time’ by the novelist Arnold Bennett. Written originally as a series of articles in the London Evening News in 1907, it was published in book form in 1908. Aimed initially at ‘the legions of clerks and typists and other meanly paid workers caught up in the explosion of British office jobs around the turn of the [twentieth] century’, it was one of several ‘pocket philosophies’ by Bennett which ‘offered a strong message of hope from somebody who so well understood their lives’. The book was especially successful in the US, where Henry Ford bought 500 copies to give to his friends and employees. Bennett himself said that the book ‘has brought me more letters of appreciation than all my other book

  • How to Live on Twenty-four Hours a Day is a short self-help book ‘about the daily organization of time’ by the novelist Arnold Bennett. Written originally as a series of articles in the London Evening News in 1907, it was published in book form in 1908.

The book was especially successful in the US, where Henry Ford bought 500 copies to give to his friends and employees. Bennett himself said that the book ‘has brought me more letters of appreciation than all my other books put together’. It has been translated into a number of languages, among them Portuguese, Japanese and Indonesian. In her book The Self-Help Compulsion: Searching for Advice in Modern Literature, the Harvard academic Beth Blum argues that ‘Bennett’s essays on the art of living mount a challenge against modernism’s disdain for the crude utilitarianism of public taste’ and sees Virginia Woolf's hostility to Bennett as ‘defined, in part, as an inspired rebuttal of Bennett’s practical philosophies’. And in a New York Times article in 2019, Cal Newport recommended How to Live on Twenty-four Hours a Day as an inspiration for anyone embarking on a program of ‘digital decluttering’. (en)
