Why read it?

1 author picked How to Live on Twenty-Four Hours a Day as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

A secret publishing dream of mine is to update this book and introduce it to a new generation of readers. But don't wait until I'm able to do that (or until someone beats me to it). Jump in now and read the original.
