What if you stopped trying to do everything, so that you could finally get round to what counts?

We\'re obsessed with our lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes, the struggle against distraction, and the sense that our attention spans are shrivelling. Still, we rarely make the connection between our daily struggles with time and the ultimate time management problem: the question of how best to use our ridiculously brief time on the planet, which amounts on average to about four thousand weeks.

Four Thousand Weeks is an uplifting, engrossing and deeply realistic exploration of the challenge. Rejecting the futile modern obsession with \'getting everything done,\' it introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing rather than denying their limitations. And it shows how the unhelpful ways we\'ve come to think about time aren\'t inescapable, unchanging truths, but choices we\'ve made, as individuals and as a society. Its many revelations will transform the reader\'s worldview.

Drawing on the insights of both ancient and contemporary philosophers, psychologists, and spiritual teachers, Oliver Burkeman sets out to realign our relationship with time - and in doing so, to liberate us from its tyranny.

Embrace your limits. Change your life. Make your four thousand weeks count.

Review

Life is finite. You don\'t have to fit everything in. Enjoy your life. Breathe out. Read this book and wake up to a new way of thinking and living ― Emma Gannon, author of The Multi-Hyphen Method

A wonderfully honest book, Four Thousand Weeks is a much-needed reality check on our culture\'s crazy assumptions around work, productivity and living a meaningful life -- Mark Manson, bestselling author of Everything is F*cked and The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck

I loved this book - it\'s a celebration of all that is most human: a deep dive into the value and potency of our finitude. Where we might buckle under pressure and uncertainty, Oliver quietly restores our centre of gravity within. You\'ll emerge from his writing fortified by wonder -- Derren Brown

A beautiful, uplifting read. Reading Oliver Burkeman, I feel my shoulders relax and my mouth curl into a smile of admiration. Witty, modest and refreshingly sane -- Robert Webb, author of How Not to Be a Boy

Oliver Burkeman provides an important and insightful reassessment of productivity. The drive to get more done can become an excuse to avoid figuring out what we actually want to accomplish. Only by confronting this latter question can we unlock a calmer, more meaningful, more resilient approach to organizing our time -- Cal Newport, bestselling author of A World Without Email and Deep Work
