Cal Newport Quote
What’s the alternative to this state of affairs? Bennett suggests that his typical man see his sixteen free hours as a day within a day, explaining, during those sixteen hours he is free; he is not a wage-earner; he is not preoccupied with monetary cares; he is just as good as a man with a private income. Accordingly, the typical man should instead use this time as an aristocrat would: to perform rigorous self-improvement—a task that, according to Bennett, involves, primarily, reading great literature and poetry.
