Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals

In 'Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals', Oliver Burkeman challenges conventional time management strategies by emphasizing the finite nature of human life.

The book argues that the average human lifespan of about 4,000 weeks is too short to accomplish everything, and thus, it is crucial to focus on what truly matters.

Burkeman draws on insights from ancient and contemporary philosophers, psychologists, and spiritual teachers to advocate for a more balanced and meaningful approach to life, encouraging readers to embrace the limits of time and prioritize activities that bring intrinsic joy and fulfillment.

The book critiques the modern obsession with productivity and efficiency, suggesting that true fulfillment comes from accepting the constraints of time and living in the present.
