About the Author
Arnold Bennett is famous for his realistic novels about the Five Towns - the 'Five Towns' being the pottery towns of his youth. His virtuosity as a writer was his manner of depicting simple things and ordinary people in an intriguing way for the readers. He has a warm and kind understanding for his characters, particularly when describing the intricate details of their dreary routine lives. (Enoch) Arnold Bennett was born in Hanley, Staffordshire, in 1867. Arnold followed his father into the legal profession but at the age of 21, he decided to leave his father's firm and moved to London and worked as a solicitor's clerk. He won a literary competition in ""Tit Bits"" magazine in 1889 and in 1893 became assistant editor of the journal, Woman. He published his first essentially autobiographical novel The Man from the North in 1898. His best work is contained in his novels of the 'Five Towns' which include Anna of the Five Towns (1902), The Old Wives' Tale (1908), Clayhanger (1910), The Card (1911), Hilda Lessways (1911) and These Twain (1916). During the First World War, he became Director of Propaganda at the War Ministry. He refused a knighthood in 1918. In 1926, he began writing an influential weekly article on books for the Evening Standard newspaper.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a revolutionary method to living a balanced and fulfilling life by treating the human machine - our minds and bodies - as a well-oiled apparatus. The author argues that we must not take this machine for granted but should study it and its intricate workings much like we would any other machine. Until the brain is disciplined and trained to obey our will, we will be susceptible to letting external factors negatively affect our well-being. By learning to control our brains through concentration, we can then focus on remedying our negative habits and replacing them with positive ones. The author suggests that the average person is only consciously responsible for about 10% of their daily decisions, the remaining 90% being influenced by unconscious habits. The key to a happier and more productive life is to change those habits. By using the willpower to control the brain, one can fundamentally change the shape of their character, much like a sculptor shapes clay. This book provides readers with an important new perspective on maximizing the human experience and the tools needed to achieve it.
