The Way to Wealth, written in 1757 by Benjamin Franklin. It is a summary of Benjamin Franklin's advice from Poor Richard's Almanac published from 1733-1758. It's a compilation of proverbs woven into a systematic ethical code advocating industry and frugality as a “way to wealth”, thereby securing personal virtue. His advice is just as relevant today as it was 270 years ago when first written.Arnold Bennett's book "How to Live on 24 Hours a Day" is an excellent piece of classic work. Arnold Bennett was a popular English novelist in the late 1800's and early 1900's. This book contains timeless advice about squeezing the most out of everyday life. Everything from training your brain to concentrate to living happily is discussed in full. In 'How to Live on 24 Hours a Day', Arnold Bennett tackles the problem of workers the world over, who spend most of their lives working jobs they hate and don't find time to do anything else, other than sleep and eat. He urges these salarymen to seize their extra time, and make the most of it to improve themselves, and discusses how time is the most precious of commodities. This book has seen increased appeal in recent years due to the explosion of the self-improvement phenomenon.
