About this ebook

**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.

'Life is finite. You don't have to fit everything in... Read this book and wake up to a new way of thinking and living' Emma Gannon

'Every sentence is riven with gold' Chris Evans

Good ideas with lots of empty talk in the middle. feels like a long chat with a friend at a cafe/pub: we get to talk and listen a lot but in the end, it was a mostly pointless conversation. If you take it like that it can be a pleasant book. If you're like me that came expecting to find big and revealing truths, it will feel a huge waste of time. In this sense it has all the signs of a self help book: small nuggets of wisdom check; could be 10x smaller without losing its essence check; lots of citations and rehashing over and over the same idea check.
