"I was born out of a great deal of pain and discomfort with the way, like what you're describing in the book," says author Oliver Wyman. "It's an eforbase notion of where, where self actualization lies", he adds. 'There's a very grand thought about oneself, in a wayright?

“The average human lifespan is absurdly, terrifyingly, insultingly short.” So begins Oliver Burkeman’s new book, “Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals.” Make it to 80, and you’ll get about 4,000 weeks. And so, as the poet asked, “What will you do with your one wild and precious life?” For most of us, the answer is obvious: Get busy. Why squander what little time we have?
