Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals - Burkeman, Oliver - Hardcover
Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals
Author: Burkeman, Oliver
Publication Date: 08/10/2021
Format: Hardcover
The average human lifespan is absurdly, insultingly brief. Assuming you live to be eighty, you have just over four thousand weeks.
Nobody needs telling there isnāt enough time. Weāre obsessed with our lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes, work-life balance, and the ceaseless battle against distraction; and weāre deluged with advice on becoming more productive and efficient, and ālife hacksā to optimize our days. But such techniques often end up making things worse. The sense of anxious hurry grows more intense, and still the most meaningful parts of life seem to lie just beyond the horizon. Still, we rarely make the connection between our daily struggles with time and the ultimate time management problem: the challenge of how best to use our four thousand weeks.
Drawing on the insights of both ancient and contemporary philosophers, psychologists, and spiritual teachers, Oliver Burkeman delivers an entertaining, humorous, practical, and ultimately profound guide to time and time management. Rejecting the futile modern fixation on āgetting everything done,āĀ Four Thousand WeeksĀ introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing finitude, showing how many of the unhelpful ways weāve come to think about time arenāt inescapable, unchanging truths, but choices weāve made as individuals and as a societyāand that we could do things differently.
