Farrar, Straus and Giroux: Tolstoy's 10 Rules for Life
- Get up early (five o’clock).
- Go to bed early (nine to ten o’clock).
- Eat little and avoid sweets.
- Try to do everything by yourself.
- Have a goal for your whole life, a goal for one section of your life, a goal for a shorter period and a goal for the year; a goal for every month, a goal for every week, a goal for every day, a goal for every hour and for every minute, and sacrifice the lesser goal to the greater.
- Keep away from women.
- Kill desire by work.
- Be good, but try to let no one know it.
- Always live less expensively than you might.
- Change nothing in your style of living even if you become ten times richer.
