An Amazon Editors' Pick for Best Nonfiction "In addition to whatever help it might offer, Four Thousand Weeks is also just good company; it addresses large, even existential, issues with a sense of humor and an even-keeled perspective. I found that reading it--Burkeman might balk at this particular way of describing it--was a good use of my time." --John Williams, The New York Times "I have long loved Oliver Burkeman's wise and witty journalism that both interrogates and elevates the 'self-help' realm--revealing its possibilities for absurdity while honoring the deeper human impulses that it meets. Four Thousand Weeks is a splendid offering in that spirit. This book is at once sobering and refreshing on all that is truly at stake in what we blithely refer to as 'time management.' It invites nothing less than a new relationship with time--and with life itself." --Krista Tippett, host of On Being "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 "This is the most important book ever written about time management. Oliver Burkeman offers a searing indictment of productivity hacking and profound insights on how to make the best use of our scarcest, most precious resource. His writing will challenge you to rethink many of your beliefs about getting things done--and you'll be wiser because of it." --Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of WorkLife " Four Thousand Weeks is a book to read and re-read, to absorb and reflect on. Compassionate, funny and wise, it has not left my mind since I read it. The modern world teaches us to pretend to be immortal--this book is a dip in the cold, clear waters of reality, returning us refreshed and alive." --Naomi Alderman, author of The Power "We all know our time is limited. What we don't know--but what Oliver Burkeman is here to teach us--is that our control over that time is also limited. This profound (and often hilarious) book will prompt you to rethink your worship of efficiency, reject the cult of busyness, and reconfigure your life around what truly matters." --Daniel H. Pink, author of When , Drive , and To Sell is Human "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, New York Times bestselling author of A World Without Email and Deep Work "Insightful . . . Burkeman's thoughtful, reassuring analysis will be a welcome balm to readers feeling overwhelmed by the (perhaps unrealistic) demands of life." -- Publishers Weekly, An Amazon Editors' Pick for Best Nonfiction "I have long loved Oliver Burkeman's wise and witty journalism that both interrogates and elevates the 'self-help' realm--revealing its possibilities for absurdity while honoring the deeper human impulses that it meets.

Synopsis
Oliver Burkeman's New York Times bestseller, Four Thousand Weeks, has struck a deep chord with many readers. Nobody needs to be told there isn't enough time. Whether we're starting our own business, trying to write a novel during our lunch break, or staring down a pile of deadlines as we're planning a vacation, we're obsessed with our lengthening to-do lists, overfilled inboxes, work-life balance, and ceaseless struggle against distraction. We're deluged with advice on becoming more productive and efficient, and life hacks to optimize our days. But such techniques often end up making things worse. The sense of anxious hurry grows more intense, and yet 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, the average length of a human life. 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 obsession with "getting everything done," Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing finitude, showing that many of 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-and that we can do things differently., AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER *Includes an interview with James Hollis* "Provocative and appealing . . . Well worth your extremely limited time." --Barbara Spindel, The Wall Street Journal There's a good reason why everyone has been talking about Oliver Burkeman's New York Times bestseller, Four Thousand Weeks .
