Publisher Description
**The instant Sunday Times bestseller**
What if you tried to stop doing everything, so you could finally get round to what counts?
Rejecting the futile modern obsession with 'getting everything done,' Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing rather than denying their limitations.
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. Discover how to make your four thousand weeks count in 2024.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Oliver Burkeman is a self-confessed former “productivity geek” who wrote this book in the belief that time management as we know it has failed. Its title comes from the mind-boggling statistic that the average human gets 4,000 weeks on this planet—which might puts your daily battle to get your inbox down to zero into some perspective. Burkeman charts his own failed obsessions with productivity and reminds you that “time management” wasn’t always a thing, back when medieval farmers rose with the sun and slept at dusk. Refreshingly free of faddy “top tips” and “life hacks”, it’s a rare self-help book that doesn’t take itself too seriously and one to which it’s well worth dedicating a few precious hours of your 4,000 weeks.
