You operate the most remarkable machine ever made, without a manual. Arnold Bennett offers one: a witty examination of the brain and its daily mismanagement, and how deliberate attention can smooth friction, temper, and worry. You will discover his great theme, that happiness is an inside job of daily discipline, delivered with the dry humor that made him famous. A compact Edwardian gem of practical psychology. Press play and read the manual at last.
