Self and Self-Management: Essays About Existing
Arnold Bennett
Book Overview:
Bennett's essays always provide food for thought and bring a wry smile to the lips. Human nature, it appears, changes little over the ages, and Bennett, as always, stands the test of time, though in the case of some of the essays in this eclectic collection, it is well to remember that they were written at the time of the First World War and the fight for women's suffrage.

I read this as a youngster in Junior High,
along with 'Mental Efficiency' 1911 edition &
'How to Live on 24 Hours a Day' 1910 edition.
I referred back to them all the way through college.
They helped me stay 'on track' and achieve.
Another fun self-help book by Arnold Bennett. He was wrong about high heels going out of fashion, and a number of other things as well, but right about many others, and entertaining in the bargain. He was a thinking man and good writer, a winning combination as far as I'm concerned. Fine audio readi
