It's an amazing time to be alive!
Today Jason talks about how precious life is and how little time we really have and how our guest talks about "Time management for mortals." Jason also talks about the doomsday clocks for both humanity and our personal lives as well. Healthspan and intermittent fasting, these are concepts that help us live lives that are both balanced and fulfilling.
Jason also welcomes best-selling author Oliver Burkeman. Between 2006 and 2020 Burkeman wrote a popular weekly column on psychology, This Column Will Change Your Life, and has reported from London, Washington and New York. His published books are:
- HELP!: How to Become Slightly Happier and Get a Bit More Done., 2011
- The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking, 2012
- Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals, 2021
