{"product_id":"9781976020223","title":"How to Live on 24 Hours a Day: Large Print Edition","description":"Excerpt: ...I have never seen an essay, \"How to live on twenty-four hours a day.\" Yet it has been said that time is money. That proverb understates the case. Time is a great deal more than money. If you have time you can obtain money-usually. But though you have the wealth of a cloak-room attendant at the Carlton Hotel, you cannot buy yourself a minute more time than I have, or the cat by the fire has. Philosophers have explained space. They have not explained time. It is the inexplicable raw material of everything. With it, all is possible; without it, nothing. The supply of time is truly a daily miracle, an affair genuinely astonishing when one examines it. You wake up in the morning, and lo! Your purse is magically filled with twenty-four hours of the unmanufactured tissue of the universe of your life! It is yours. It is the most precious of possessions. A highly singular commodity, showered upon you in a manner as singular as the commodity itself! For remark! No one can take it from you. It is unstealable. And no one receives either more or less than you receive.","brand":"CreateSpace Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46337974894833,"sku":"9781976020223","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781976020223_p0.jpg?v=1764952451","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781976020223","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
