520 _a"Self and self-management : Essays about existing by Arnold Bennett" is a collection of reflective essays written in the early 20th century. The book belongs to the genre of personal and social commentary, blending elements of philosophy, psychology, and social observation. It addresses fundamental aspects of human behavior and self-understanding, with Bennett exploring the challenges individuals face in managing themselves, their desires, and their roles in society. The central topic of the book is the nature of personal fulfillment, happiness, and the complexity of navigating life while staying true to oneself. In this book, Bennett presents a series of essays that discuss diverse topics such as the pursuit of happiness, the realities of war-work, the habit of diary-keeping, self-criticism, fussiness, and the deeper meanings behind fashion and social conventions. Through vivid anecdotes and engaging reasoning, he critiques superficial living—such as chasing pleasure for its own sake or adhering blindly to society's expectations—and instead encourages honest self-examination and purposeful living. He also reflects on the limitations and illusions individuals face, the subtle value of everyday experiences, and the importance of accepting oneself without envy or undue striving for conventional success. Across the essays, Bennett urges readers to confront life courageously, to define happiness on their own terms, and to appreciate the intricate motivations that shape behavior, ultimately advocating for a balanced and compassionate understanding of self and others.
